Read the collection as a graph of human entry points, reusable disciplines and project conventions rather than a hidden orchestration engine.
Compare managed distribution, editable copies and source inspection by ownership and verification needs, without inventing a universal agent-workflow winner.
Choose a distribution model, verify the installed revision and avoid using the repository maintainer’s destructive linking script as a general installer.
Set up repository conventions, choose an explicit first workflow and distinguish the pinned TDD instructions from the broader README summary.
Design a local read-only explorer for promoted inventory, invocation metadata and version drift; distinguish a proposed learning tool from an upstream roadmap.
Understand what mattpocock/skills actually distributes, why its 25 promoted skills differ from its full repository, and where the agent host still controls execution.
Separate model context from human navigation and update work; use a controlled evaluation instead of claiming token savings from shorter instructions.
Review instruction changes as behavior changes, constrain issue-tracker actions and distinguish triage state policy from an enforced authorization system.
Trace sync-plugin-version.mjs through no-op, read-only check, guarded update and nested-field failure using six executed disposable fixtures.
