+### Skill aliases
+
+`skillAliases` remaps a skill name across **every** loaded workflow (built-in + user + project) with one declarative config entry — no workflow redeclaration. It's a config-file-only envelope field (packs reject it), applied at load time so preview, the JSONL audit, and the runtime skill preflight all see the final skill; the runner is untouched.
+
+```ts
+// config.ts — alias-only is valid (no `workflows` needed)
+export default { skillAliases: { commit: "attributed-commit" } };
+
+// or alongside workflows + default
+export default {
+  workflows: [ /* … */ ],
+  default: "ship",
+  skillAliases: { commit: "attributed-commit", "code-review": "strict-review" },
+};
+```
+
+The key is the **skill** name (`stage.skill ?? <stage key>`), not the stage id. One hop only (no transitive chains); `run`/`prompt` stages are skipped; aliases merge project-over-user per key. `/wf` shows a `Skill aliases in effect: …` banner; an alias matching no dispatched skill warns at load time (no-op); a bad target reuses the existing runtime "skill not found" preflight. Use it to point a bundled skill (say `commit`) at your own variant (`attributed-commit`) everywhere, upgrade-safe.

+`skillAliases` remaps a skill name everywhere — across built-in, user, and project workflows — with one declarative config entry. It lives in the config-file envelope (packs can't set it) and is applied at load time, so `/wf` preview, the JSONL audit, and the runtime skill-registry preflight all see the final skill:

+
+Every dispatching stage whose effective skill (`stage.skill ?? <stage key>`) matches an alias key is remapped to the target — note the key is the **skill** name, not the stage id. The mapping is one hop only (no transitive chains), skips `run`/`prompt` stages (they don't dispatch a `/skill:`), and merges **project over user** per key. An alias-only config (no `workflows`) is valid. `/wf` shows a `Skill aliases in effect: commit → attributed-commit` banner; an alias key that matches no dispatched skill in any workflow surfaces a load-time warning (a harmless no-op). A bad alias **target** (a skill that doesn't exist) is caught by the existing runtime "skill not found" preflight.
