 export declare const SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT = "[Auto-review \u2014 Skills]\nReview the conversation above and update the skill library. Be ACTIVE \u2014 most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a references/ directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n  \u2022 User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n  \u2022 User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n  \u2022 Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n  \u2022 A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order \u2014 prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n  1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded or you read. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n  2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA. If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n  3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files \u2014 use the right directory per kind:\n     \u2022 references/<topic>.md \u2014 session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n     \u2022 templates/<name>.<ext> \u2014 starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can reproduce with modifications).\n     \u2022 scripts/<name>.<ext> \u2014 statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n     Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n  4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong \u2014 fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply \u2014 the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\nTwo-tier deposition discipline (DSH addition, same spirit as the umbrella rule): before writing, classify the knowledge:\n  \u2022 PATTERN (reusable \u2014 symptom \u2192 mechanism \u2192 fix \u2192 verification, still valuable next session) belongs in the SKILL.md body.\n  \u2022 LOG (one-off \u2014 commit SHAs, npm/profile states, what this release changed, this session's process narrative) belongs in a references/ file, never the body. Body density IS reuse rate. Keep new entries tight: a pattern fits in 2-8 physical lines; prefer changing the current-state pointer over appending history.\n\nProtected skills (DO NOT edit these):\n  \u2022 Bundled skills (shipped with the platform).\n  \u2022 Hub-installed skills (installed from a hub).\nPinned skills are read-only to THIS background review pass \u2014 the pinned write guard refuses background changes, so only the foreground may update or archive them. Foreground and delegated-subagent writes to pinned skills remain allowed.\nIf the only skills that need updating are protected, say 'Nothing to save.' and stop.\n\nDo NOT capture (these become persistent self-imposed constraints that bite you later when the environment changes):\n  \u2022 Environment-dependent failures: missing binaries, fresh-install errors, post-migration path mismatches, 'command not found', unconfigured credentials, uninstalled packages. The user can fix these \u2014 they are not durable rules.\n  \u2022 Negative claims about tools or features ('browser tools do not work', 'X tool is broken', 'cannot use Y'). These harden into refusals the agent cites against itself for months after the actual problem was fixed.\n  \u2022 Session-specific transient errors that resolved before the conversation ended. If retrying worked, the lesson is the retry pattern, not the original failure.\n  \u2022 One-off task narratives. A user asking 'summarize today's market' or 'analyze this PR' is not a class of work that warrants a skill.\n\nIf a tool failed because of setup state, capture the FIX (install command, config step, env var to set) under an existing setup or troubleshooting skill \u2014 never 'this tool does not work' as a standalone constraint.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default.

The right bar is: would a human maintainer write this as N separate skills, or one skill with N labeled subsections? When the answer is the latter, merge.\n5.

Package integrity \u2014 not optional: inspect each skill as a COMPLETE directory package, not just SKILL.md. A skill root may include references/, templates/, scripts/, and assets/. If the source skill has support files OR its SKILL.md contains relative links to them, DO NOT flatten only SKILL.md into <umbrella>/references/<old>.md. Choose one safe path instead: keep it as a standalone skill, OR fully merge by re-homing every needed support file into the umbrella's canonical directories AND rewriting the destination instructions to the new paths, OR archive the entire original skill package unchanged. Never leave demoted instructions pointing at files left behind under the old skill directory.\n4. Flag skills whose NAME is too narrow (contains a PR number, a feature codename, a specific error string, an 'audit'/'diagnosis'/'salvage' session artifact) \u2014 they almost always belong as a subsection or support file under a class-level umbrella.\n5. Iterate. After one consolidation round, scan the remaining set and look for the NEXT umbrella opportunity. Don't stop after 3 merges.\n\nYour toolset:\n  - skill_manage action=list / review \u2014 read the current landscape.\n  - skill_manage action=patch \u2014 add sections to the umbrella.\n  - skill_manage action=create \u2014 create a new umbrella SKILL.md.\n  - skill_manage action=write_file \u2014 add a references/, templates/, or scripts/ file under an existing skill (the skill must already exist).\n  - skill_manage action=delete \u2014 archive a skill. MUST pass absorbed_into=<umbrella> when you've merged its content into another skill, or absorbed_into=\"\" when you're truly pruning with no forwarding target.\n  - skill_manage action=consolidate \u2014 merge source bodies into a target and archive the sources when patching by hand is error-prone.\n  - skill_manage action=restore \u2014 bring one archived skill back (recoverability is the archive's contract).\n  - For moving support files, keep it inside the skill tree: support files move via reading and writing through skill_manage write_file/remove_file.\n\n'keep' is a legitimate decision ONLY when the skill is already a class-level umbrella and none of the proposed merges would improve discoverability. 'This is narrow but distinct from its siblings' is NOT a reason to keep \u2014 it's a reason to move it under an umbrella as a subsection or support file.\n\nExpected output: real umbrella-ification. Process every obvious cluster. If you end the pass with obvious clusters still untouched, you stopped too early \u2014 go back and look at the clusters you left alone.\n\nKeep the umbrella body tight and scannable: exact commands, verbatim paths, ~100-200 lines; never invent flags or APIs.\n\nWhen done, write a human summary AND a structured machine-readable block so downstream tooling can distinguish consolidation from pruning. Format EXACTLY:\n\n## Structured summary (required)\n```yaml\nconsolidations:\n  - from: <old-skill-name>\n    into: <umbrella-skill-name>\n    reason: <one short sentence \u2014 why merged, not just 'similar'>\nprunings:\n  - name: <skill-name>\n    reason: <one short sentence \u2014 why archived with no merge target>\n```\n\nEvery skill you moved to .archive/ MUST appear in exactly one of the two lists. If you consolidated X into umbrella Y (patched Y, wrote a references file to Y, or created Y with X's content absorbed), X goes under consolidations with into: Y. If you archived X with no absorption \u2014 truly stale, irrelevant, or obsolete \u2014 X goes under prunings. Leave a list empty (consolidations: []) if none. Do not omit the block.

The right bar is: would a human maintainer write this as N separate skills, or one skill with N labeled subsections? When the answer is the latter, merge.\n5. Judge overlap on CONTENT, not on usage counters.\n6. Before archiving a merged skill, ensure its unique content was preserved in the umbrella.\n\nHow to work:\n1. Scan the candidate list. Identify PREFIX CLUSTERS \u2014 skills sharing a first word or domain keyword. Expected cluster count scales with the library: a large collection may show 10-25 prefix clusters, a small one often has none \u2014 a clean \"nothing to consolidate\" summary is the correct small-library outcome, not a shortage of ambition.\n2. For each cluster with 2+ members, ask \"what is the UMBRELLA CLASS these skills serve?\" and consolidate:\n   a. MERGE INTO AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (patch a labeled section for each sibling's unique insight, then archive the siblings).\n   b. CREATE A NEW UMBRELLA SKILL.md covering the shared workflow with short labeled subsections, then archive the absorbed siblings.\n   c. DEMOTE session-specific detail to references/, templates/, or scripts/ under the umbrella. Use the right directory per kind:\n      \u2022 references/<topic>.md \u2014 session-specific detail OR condensed knowledge banks (quoted research, API docs excerpts, domain notes, provider quirks, reproduction recipes) written concise and task-focused.\n      \u2022 templates/<name>.<ext> \u2014 starter files meant to be copied and modified.\n      \u2022 scripts/<name>.<ext> \u2014 statically re-runnable actions (verification scripts, fixture generators, probes).\n3. Package integrity \u2014 not optional: inspect each skill as a COMPLETE directory package, not just SKILL.md. A skill root may include references/, templates/, scripts/, and assets/. If the source skill has support files OR its SKILL.md contains relative links to them, DO NOT flatten only SKILL.md into <umbrella>/references/<old>.md. Choose one safe path instead: keep it as a standalone skill, OR fully merge by re-homing every needed support file into the umbrella's canonical directories AND rewriting the destination instructions to the new paths, OR archive the entire original skill package unchanged. Never leave demoted instructions pointing at files left behind under the old skill directory.\n4. Flag skills whose NAME is too narrow (contains a PR number, a feature codename, a specific error string, an 'audit'/'diagnosis'/'salvage' session artifact) \u2014 they almost always belong as a subsection or support file under a class-level umbrella.\n5. Iterate. After one consolidation round, scan the remaining set and look for the NEXT umbrella opportunity. Don't stop after 3 merges.\n\nYour toolset:\n  - skill_manage action=list / review \u2014 read the current landscape.\n  - skill_manage action=patch \u2014 add sections to the umbrella.\n  - skill_manage action=create \u2014 create a new umbrella SKILL.md.\n  - skill_manage action=write_file \u2014 add a references/, templates/, or scripts/ file under an existing skill (the skill must already exist).\n  - skill_manage action=delete \u2014 archive a skill. MUST pass absorbed_into=<umbrella> when you've merged its content into another skill, or absorbed_into=\"\" when you're truly pruning with no forwarding target.\n  - skill_manage action=consolidate \u2014 merge source bodies into a target and archive the sources when patching by hand is error-prone.\n  - skill_manage action=restore \u2014 bring one archived skill back (recoverability is the archive's contract).\n  - For moving support files, keep it inside the skill tree: support files move via reading and writing through skill_manage write_file/remove_file.\n\n'keep' is a legitimate decision ONLY when the skill is already a class-level umbrella and none of the proposed merges would improve discoverability. 'This is narrow but distinct from its siblings' is NOT a reason to keep \u2014 it's a reason to move it under an umbrella as a subsection or support file.\n\nExpected output: real umbrella-ification. Process every obvious cluster. If you end the pass with obvious clusters still untouched, you stopped too early \u2014 go back and look at the clusters you left alone.\n\nKeep the umbrella body tight and scannable: exact commands, verbatim paths, ~100-200 lines; never invent flags or APIs.\n\nWhen done, write a human summary AND a structured machine-readable block so downstream tooling can distinguish consolidation from pruning. Format EXACTLY:\n\n## Structured summary (required)\n```yaml\nconsolidations:\n  - from: <old-skill-name>\n    into: <umbrella-skill-name>\n    reason: <one short sentence \u2014 why merged, not just 'similar'>\nprunings:\n  - name: <skill-name>\n    reason: <one short sentence \u2014 why archived with no merge target>\n```\n\nEvery skill you moved to .archive/ MUST appear in exactly one of the two lists. If you consolidated X into umbrella Y (patched Y, wrote a references file to Y, or created Y with X's content absorbed), X goes under consolidations with into: Y. If you archived X with no absorption \u2014 truly stale, irrelevant, or obsolete \u2014 X goes under prunings. Leave a list empty (consolidations: []) if none. Do not omit the block. The block comes AFTER your human-readable summary of clusters processed, patches made, and decisions left alone.";
