Stacked on #1 (base is add-github-skills). GitHub will auto-retarget this to main once #1 merges. Makes the skill/knowledge system legible to a public visitor and self-propagating.

Added

  • knowledge/notes/skill-vs-note-vs-code.md — the decision rule for what becomes a skill vs. a knowledge note vs. tested code, with boundary cases and the alternatives that were rejected. The meta-decision behind how this repo is organized.
  • .claude/skills/write-skill/SKILL.md — a meta-skill that scaffolds new skills in the house style (frontmatter + ## Steps + ## Do not), then registers and logs them. Tools that build tools — the repo grows its own skills.
  • knowledge/notes/case-study-github-project-tracking.md — a real, end-to-end run of the github-* skills (the one they were generalized from): scope split, the 404-means-wrong-account lesson, eventual-consistency verification.

Changed

  • README.md — a ## Skills index table linking every skill, plus pointers to the taxonomy note and case study.
  • CLAUDE.md / LOG.md — register write-skill and log the change.

Together with #1, this turns "here are some skills" into a legible, self-documenting system — which is the part worth showing publicly.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Makes the skill/knowledge system legible to a public visitor and self-propagating:

- knowledge/notes/skill-vs-note-vs-code.md: the decision rule for what becomes a
  skill vs. a knowledge note vs. tested code, with boundary cases and rejected
  alternatives.
- .claude/skills/write-skill/SKILL.md: a meta-skill that scaffolds new skills in
  the house style (frontmatter + Steps + Do not), then registers and logs them.
- knowledge/notes/case-study-github-project-tracking.md: a worked, real example of
  the github-* skills end to end — the run they were generalized from.
- README.md: a Skills index table + links to the taxonomy note and case study.
- CLAUDE.md / LOG.md: register write-skill and log the change.
