Teknium c49fa88b80 refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 to optional, github 6-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR, channel-gated teams pipeline (index −26%) (#98539)
* 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)

# Codebase Inspection with pygount
Analyze repositories for lines of code, language breakdown, file counts, and code-vs-comment ratios using `pygount`.
## When to Use
- User asks for LOC (lines of code) count
- User wants a language breakdown of a repo
- User asks about codebase size or composition
- User wants code-vs-comment ratios
- General "how big is this repo" questions
## Prerequisites
```bash
pip install --break-system-packages pygount 2>/dev/null || pip install pygount
```
## 1. Basic Summary (Most Common)
Get a full language breakdown with file counts, code lines, and comment lines:
```bash
cd /path/to/repo
pygount --format=summary \
--folders-to-skip=".git,node_modules,venv,.venv,__pycache__,.cache,dist,build,.next,.tox,.eggs,*.egg-info" \
.
```
**IMPORTANT:** Always use `--folders-to-skip` to exclude dependency/build directories, otherwise pygount will crawl them and take a very long time or hang.
## 2. Common Folder Exclusions
Adjust based on the project type:
```bash
# Python projects
--folders-to-skip=".git,venv,.venv,__pycache__,.cache,dist,build,.tox,.eggs,.mypy_cache"
# JavaScript/TypeScript projects
--folders-to-skip=".git,node_modules,dist,build,.next,.cache,.turbo,coverage"
# General catch-all
--folders-to-skip=".git,node_modules,venv,.venv,__pycache__,.cache,dist,build,.next,.tox,vendor,third_party"
```
## 3. Filter by Specific Language
```bash
# Only count Python files
pygount --suffix=py --format=summary .
# Only count Python and YAML
pygount --suffix=py,yaml,yml --format=summary .
```
## 4. Detailed File-by-File Output
```bash
# Default format shows per-file breakdown
pygount --folders-to-skip=".git,node_modules,venv" .
# Sort by code lines (pipe through sort)
pygount --folders-to-skip=".git,node_modules,venv" . | sort -t$'\t' -k1 -nr | head -20
```
## 5. Output Formats
```bash
# Summary table (default recommendation)
pygount --format=summary .
# JSON output for programmatic use
pygount --format=json .
# Pipe-friendly: Language, file count, code, docs, empty, string
pygount --format=summary . 2>/dev/null
```
## 6. Interpreting Results
The summary table columns:
- **Language** — detected programming language
- **Files** — number of files of that language
- **Code** — lines of actual code (executable/declarative)
- **Comment** — lines that are comments or documentation
- **%** — percentage of total
Special pseudo-languages:
- `__empty__` — empty files
- `__binary__` — binary files (images, compiled, etc.)
- `__generated__` — auto-generated files (detected heuristically)
- `__duplicate__` — files with identical content
- `__unknown__` — unrecognized file types
## Pitfalls
1. **Always exclude .git, node_modules, venv** — without `--folders-to-skip`, pygount will crawl everything and may take minutes or hang on large dependency trees.
2. **Markdown shows 0 code lines** — pygount classifies all Markdown content as comments, not code. This is expected behavior.
3. **JSON files show low code counts** — pygount may count JSON lines conservatively. For accurate JSON line counts, use `wc -l` directly.
4. **Large monorepos** — for very large repos, consider using `--suffix` to target specific languages rather than scanning everything.
