- #954: strip non-spec source/attribution keys from all 39 plugin.json
manifests so Claude Code's validator accepts them; metadata preserved in
new .claude-plugin/authoring-notes.json sidecars; check_plugin_json.py now
hard-fails manifests carrying those keys and sanity-checks the sidecar;
CLAUDE.md ClawHub schema section updated to the new rule.
- #949: move the c-level-agents plugin out of c-level-advisor/ to a
top-level directory so the two marketplace sources no longer overlap;
updated marketplace.json source, homepage, descriptions, all
cross-references, docs, harness manifest, mirror-tree symlinks/indexes,
and rebased the moved files' relative links; domain counters trued up
(18 -> 19 domains).
- #933: replace dead links to the gitignored maintainer-local megaprompts/
tree with annotated plain-text references (44 files: SKILL.md, READMEs,
agents, commands).
- #931: DynamoDB on-demand pricing updated to post-Nov-2024 rates
($0.625/M writes, $0.125/M strongly consistent reads).
- #969: skill_security_auditor.py and the three dossier scripts reconfigure
stdout/stderr to UTF-8 (errors=replace) so legacy Windows codepages no
longer crash at print time; PYTHONUTF8=1 documented.
- #968: Windows Notes section in INSTALLATION.md + README pointer for the
core.symlinks mirror-tree checkout caveat.
- #924/#885 residuals: hook commands quote "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" paths in
all plugin hooks.json/settings.json (space-safe roots); removed the stale
pre-rename status/review mirror symlinks and index entries left over from
the memory-status/memory-review rename.

Stream B PR 1 of 2 — the skill-author skill that gives us the meta-tool to
build the rest of Matt Pocock's productivity skills (caveman, grill-me, handoff)
with consistent quality gates.
Derived from Matt Pocock's write-a-skill (MIT-licensed):
https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/tree/main/skills/productivity/write-a-skill
Matt's SKILL.md content + 3-phase workflow (Gather -> Draft -> Review) preserved
verbatim per MIT license. Attribution: README.md + plugin.json description +
SKILL.md frontmatter metadata + every file footer cites Matt + links to original.
Additions on top of Matt's original (the "hybrid voice" approach):
3 stdlib Python validation tools:
- skill_description_validator.py: 5-check verdict per Matt's 4 format rules
(description present, <=1024 chars, third person, "Use when" trigger, action
verb in first sentence). Action-verb vocabulary extracted as module constant.
- skill_structure_validator.py: 6-check verdict (SKILL.md present, line count,
references when split needed, one-level-deep, no circular refs, scripts/
folder note). Refactored to extract _list_md_in_subdir + _collect_links_for_file
helpers to keep nesting depth <= 4 per karpathy-coder.
- skill_review_checklist_runner.py: combined verdict running all 6 items from
Matt's review checklist. Refactored _find_nested_md helper for nesting.
4 in-depth references (each citing 7-8 authoritative sources):
- companion_tooling.md: tool catalogue + cs-* wrapper rationale
- progressive_disclosure_principles.md: 100-line ceiling + one-level-deep rule
with sources (Matt, Anthropic, Don Norman, Pirolli & Card, Maeda, DocOps)
- description_design_patterns.md: good vs bad description patterns with sources
(Matt, Anthropic, Garrett, Nielsen Norman, Karpathy)
- quality_gates_for_skills.md: the 6 mandatory gates + CI integration with
sources (Matt, Humble & Farley, Kim et al., Hyrum's Law)
cs-skill-author persona agent + /cs:write-a-skill slash command:
- Forcing-question interrogator pattern matching our cs-* convention
- 6 forcing questions mirroring Matt's 6 review-checklist items
- Routes to validators + karpathy-coder gate + attribution check
Karpathy-coder validation (full sweep):
- complexity_checker: 100/100 across all 3 tools (0 findings)
- assumption_linter: CLEAN on all 3 tools
- All 3 tools: PASS text + PASS JSON output
- All 4 references cite >= 7 authoritative sources (range 7-8)
Self-validation note: this skill's own SKILL.md is 141 lines (over Matt's
100-line ceiling) because it preserves Matt's full content verbatim + adds
attribution + tooling references. The structure_validator + checklist_runner
correctly WARN on this — documented in progressive_disclosure_principles.md
as the wrapper-derived exception. README.md absorbs the attribution overhead
so SKILL.md stays close to Matt's original size.
