Per blueprint/skill-project.md: the old single-namespace, hand-maintained
index is gone, replaced by a read-only, two-scope tree whose index is a
runtime function of its content.
- skills/ index generated at runtime (crates/skald-core/src/skills/:
inventory, install, validate, watch), injected through the new
<!-- SKILLS_LIST --> placeholder in AGENT.md (agents/common/skills.md);
meta.json inject_skills flag removed. 11 chat/task agents carry the
include, the 4 system agents do not.
- Two trees, both read-only in both directions: skills/shared/{id} (the
group's) and skills/{username}/{id} (one member's own, on the stable
userid). The root is closed too: UserFs::SkillMounts + RouteError (alias
probe, plain-denied paths, no home fallback) and a per-user
.skills-root/{userid} container mount with the two scope mounts nested
inside, plus the fifth self-heal axis (skills_mounted).
- Agent verbs: skill_register/skill_delete (Config group, global scope
behind the new skill.manage capability), fetch_repo for public repos,
list_items(type="skills"); reads are plain read_file on the printed
path. Seeded @fs_read skills/* allow.
- Freshness: a digest-gated watcher on the two trees emits
SystemEvent::SkillsChanged, whose subscriber rebuilds the frozen prompt
prefix via Skald::invalidate_prompt_prefix; in-process writers invalidate
directly.
- The build ships no skills: the three bundled skills (ics2json,
mcp-builder, skill-creator) and skills/index.md are removed, skills/ is
instance data (gitignored, not packaged, no longer pruned by update.sh).
- Docs: skills.md, agents.md, shared-folders.md added; docs/index.md and
agents/README.md updated.
scripts/ held the pre-marketplace MCP servers (gmail, gcal, gmaps, ssh, weather,
google_trends, whatsapp, serpapi_flights). Nothing referenced them any more:
connectors are admin-curated and installed into connectors/ from the
marketplace, and ci/package.sh never shipped scripts/ in the first place — so on
every installed box requirements.txt was pulling google-auth, googlemaps,
paramiko, trendspyg and friends for files that did not exist there.
requirements.txt now states what it is actually for: the two TTS plugins, which
spawn a bare `python3` on an embedded server script and so have no dependency
reconciler of their own. A connector's deps stay with the connector —
`ensure_installed` puts them in .pydeps/node_modules inside the user's
container, `ensure_installed_host` beside the files for a global one.
The venv itself stays load-bearing for those two plugins and for the host pip
that installs a global connector's deps, so the run/install/update scripts keep
creating it — but their "Python MCP servers will be unavailable" warning was
naming the one thing that no longer depends on it, and now says what really
breaks.
CONNECTOR_MANIFEST_GUIDE.md moves to the repo root: it was the one thing in
scripts/ still referenced (CLAUDE.md), and being under a gitignored directory it
had never been committed at all.
