* refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 skills to optional, github six-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR+nano-pdf, channel-gated teams pipeline
Maintainer-directed shipped-skills curation (skills index 1,900 -> ~1,400
tok/call on desktop; every session pays the index, so this is a per-call
diet on all installs):
- optional-skills moves (installable via skills hub, history preserved):
creative comfyui/ascii-art/excalidraw/pretext/sketch/touchdesigner-mcp;
ALL of mlops (huggingface-hub, llama-cpp, serving-llms-vllm,
weights-and-biases, evaluating-llms-harness — subcategory structure
kept); research-paper-writing (55 supporting files, 17.3K-tok load);
openhue; blogwatcher (first taught the cronjob monitor-field watch
pattern + web_extract instead of pre-cron manual workflows)
- DELETED session-librarian (Aug-12 'inspired by Perplexity Computer'
port, never maintainer-intended; session_search covers discovery)
- github: six skills (auth, issues, pr-workflow, issue-to-pr,
code-review, repo-management) merged into ONE software-development/
github skill — routing body + complete per-workflow references;
benbarclay authorship credited; codebase-inspection rides along;
discipline pins from test_github_issue_to_pr_skill.py preserved
against the reference body in the new test_github_skill.py
- pdf absorbs ocr-and-documents + nano-pdf as references/ + scripts
(extract_pymupdf, extract_marker converted to the argparse house
standard its contract test enforces)
- NEW session_platforms frontmatter gate (metadata.hermes): hides a
skill from the index on gateway channels it is not for; fail-open on
unknown platform; teams-meeting-pipeline gated to [teams, cron]
- blocked-page-recovery: research -> new web category; trigger-first
description ('Use when a fetch fails: 403/429, paywall, WAF, bot
wall.') so the model actually reaches for it on blocked fetches
- docs regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (195 pages); related_skills
swept repo-wide; tests: 1672 passed (2 openclaw failures pre-existing
on clean main, Windows-local)
* chore: ignore .skills_prompt_snapshot.json (local index cache, accidentally committed)
The bundled plan skill's auto-generated slash command fell off the capped
Telegram/Discord command menus for most installs (skills are the only tier
trimmed at the platform caps, alphabetically — 'plan' sat past the cutoff at
index 57 of 82 bundled skills). Converting it to a first-class CommandDef
gives it a guaranteed core-tier menu slot on every platform.
- agent/plan_prompt.py: build_plan_prompt() — plan-mode rules + authoring
craft distilled from the retired skill; prompt-injection pattern like
/learn and /init (no engine, no model-tool footprint, cache-safe).
- CLI: _handle_plan_command mixin handler (pending-input injection).
- Gateway: /plan branch rewrites event.text and falls through (role
alternation preserved).
- TUI: command.dispatch branch ('plan' was already in
_PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS).
- Removed skills/software-development/plan/ + docs pages (EN + zh-Hans),
catalog rows, sidebar entry, related_skills references.
- PROTECTED_BUILTIN_SKILLS is now empty (mechanism kept); dependent
curator/usage tests moved to monkeypatched sentinels.
Salvages #67292 by @webtecnica (credit: first /plan command submission,
issue #67264); reworked from inline planning prompt to the prompt-injection
pattern with workspace-saved plans. Closes#67264, closes#36821 (empty
/plan infers task from conversation context).
Reverts the plan-interrogation rename from #97831 per maintainer decision —
the skill keeps its original grill-me name. The content upgrade (design-tree
frontier-rounds interview mechanic from mattpocock/skills' grilling) stays.
Docs page, catalog row, and sidebar entry renamed back.
Renames the optional grill-me skill to the more descriptive plan-interrogation
and upgrades it with the design-tree frontier-rounds mechanic from
mattpocock/skills' MIT-licensed 'grilling' skill: batch all currently-askable
questions per round in dependency order, agent finds facts itself, decisions
stay with the user. Docs page, catalog row, and sidebar entry renamed.
Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — plan-interview is an
on-request capability, not a weekly daily-driver for most users.
