 # Changelog
 
+## v0.5.1 — 2026-07-28
+
+Full-repo consistency pass: every file read against every other, contradictions
+fixed rather than annotated.
+
+### Fixed
+- **The Cursor rule claimed "no external links" while carrying four.** The actual
+  rule — the one the validator enforces — is *no **relative** links*, because the
+  `.mdc` gets copied into foreign projects. Stated correctly now.
+- **The canon demanded a README section this repo deliberately doesn't have.**
+  `README.md (EN + closing RU section)` in the layout and "RU section" in the
+  Retrofit audit contradicted the v0.4.0 decision to ship an English-only README.
+  Canon now says English-first, with Russian where it actually changes behaviour
+  (trigger phrases) and an optional RU section for RU-facing projects.
+- **The entry-point command contradicted its own design rule.** The canon says a
+  `/<name>` command must "detect mode, never ask"; `/make-skill` with no argument
+  asked what to build. It now inspects the working directory (`SKILL.md`,
+  `.claude-plugin/`, `plugins/*/skills/*/`) and runs the Retrofit audit, asking
+  only when there is nothing to detect.
+- **The release workflow could ship a broken skill.** Its npx smoke test asserted
+  `SKILL.md` and the command but not `references/*.md`, so a release missing them
+  would pass while every reference link dangled. Now asserted, matching the
+  validate workflow.
+- Version-sync arity was stated as four in the body while the validator enforced
+  a fifth point (`SKILL.md` `metadata.version`) when present — documented in the
+  hard rule, the audit checklist, the Cursor rule, and the validator comment.
+- The v0.1.0 promote spec still stated three contracts that did not survive
+  contact (bare npm name, `templates/SKILL.md`, "no references split needed").
+  Marked executed, with a Superseded table pointing at what actually shipped.
+- Layout trees disagreed across SKILL.md, the Cursor rule, and README
+  (`release.yml`, `scripts/`, `assets/`, `references/`) — reconciled.
+
+### Changed
+- **Descriptions refreshed everywhere they exist** — skill front-matter (772/1024
+  chars), `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, `package.json`, the slash command,
+  and the Cursor rule now name spec conformance, auditing, and MCP/A2A, and carry
+  the new trigger pair *"does this skill match the spec" / "соответствует ли
+  скилл стандарту"*. Keywords gained `agent-skills`, `mcp`, `a2a`, `spec`.
+- README: standard-conformance and protocol-boundary bullets in "What this gives
+  you"; the Use section documents no-argument auto-detect.
+- `templates/README.md` documents the spec-aware skeleton, the
+  never-name-it-`SKILL.md` rule, and where `references/`/`scripts/`/`assets/` go.
+
+## v0.5.0 — 2026-07-28
+
+Audited the canon against the **Agent Skills open standard**
+(<https://agentskills.io/specification>, `agentskills/agentskills`). The canon
+was compatible but silent on most of the spec: it never stated the `name`
+charset rules, capped the wrong thing (whole front-matter instead of
+`description`), never mentioned `license` / `compatibility` / `metadata` /
+`allowed-tools`, `scripts/` / `assets/`, or the progressive-disclosure budgets.
+
+### Added
+- `references/agent-skills-spec.md` — the full standard as a conformance
+  reference: field table with limits, `name` charset rules, directory layout,
+  the <500-line / <5000-token budgets, the description trigger-eval loop
+  (20 queries × 3 runs, 60/40 train/validation split), body patterns, and an
+  audit checklist. Marks explicitly where the house canon *extends* the spec.
+- `references/mcp.md` — MCP for skill authors: skill vs MCP server, the
+  host/client/server model, lifecycle and capability negotiation, server
+  primitives with exact methods (`tools/list`, `tools/call`,
+  `resources/templates/list`, `prompts/get`, …), client primitives
+  (`sampling/createMessage`, `elicitation/create`, roots), stdio vs Streamable
+  HTTP, the consent/untrusted-output security rules, and the gotchas
+  (host-prefixed tool names, dynamic tool lists, interactive OAuth).
+- `references/a2a.md` — A2A for skill authors: A2A vs MCP, the Agent Card at
+  `/.well-known/agent-card.json`, Task/Message/Part/Artifact, the task
+  lifecycle, the 1.0 method mapping across JSON-RPC/gRPC/REST, streaming vs
+  webhook push, security, and the **v0.x→1.0 wire drift** (`message/send` →
+  `SendMessage`, lowercase states → `TASK_STATE_*`) that silently breaks
+  integrations.
+- `references/distribution.md` — the distribution matrix and npm publishing
+  traps, moved out of the body (progressive disclosure) so `SKILL.md` stays
+  inside the spec's budget.
+- SKILL.md: a **Spec floor** block in the authoring rules, a
+  **Protocol-connected skills (MCP / A2A)** section, a load-on-demand reference
+  index with a raw-URL fallback, and audit items 1 and 10 in the Retrofit
+  checklist.
+
+### Changed
+- **Validator now enforces the spec, not just house rules:** `name` charset /
+  ≤64 / == directory, `description` ≤1024 (the correct field — the old check
+  capped the whole front-matter block), `compatibility` ≤500, `metadata` as an
+  all-string map, `allowed-tools` as a string, rejection of any front-matter key
+  outside the standard, `SKILL.md` < 500 lines, `references/` one level deep with
+  every file reachable from the body, and no relative link escaping the skill
+  directory. Front-matter is now parsed (YAML subset incl. folded blocks and
+  nested maps) instead of regex-sniffed.
+- Optional 5th version-sync point: if `SKILL.md` carries `metadata.version`, it
+  must match the manifests.
+- `templates/SKILL.template.md` is spec-aware: optional front-matter fields
+  documented inline, budgets stated, plus References and Gotchas sections.
+- Cursor rule carries the spec floor and the MCP/A2A rules inline (no relative
+  links — it gets copied into foreign projects).
+
+### Testing
+- CI gained a four-case negative self-test for the spec rules (bad `name`
+  charset, over-long `description`, unknown front-matter key, orphaned reference
+  file) — each must fail the validator.
+- The installer functional test now asserts all four `references/*.md` land in
+  the install target; a channel that drops them ships broken relative links.
+- The first negative self-test used `sed -i` GNU-style, so it only ran on CI and
+  errored on any macOS/BSD dry run. Rewritten in `python3` like its siblings —
+  the whole workflow is now runnable locally.
+
+## v0.4.1 — 2026-07-28
+
+### Fixed
+- The `validate` workflow had been **red since v0.3.0**: its negative self-test
+  deleted `templates/SKILL.md`, a file renamed to `templates/SKILL.template.md`
+  three releases earlier. Deleting a non-existent file is a no-op, the validator
+  correctly passed, and the step reported that as an error — so the check proved
+  nothing while looking like it failed.
+
+### Added
+- A second negative self-test: stripping the Russian trigger aliases out of the
+  description must fail the validator.
+
+## v0.4.0 — 2026-07-28
+
+### Changed
+- Description restructured English-first: each Russian trigger is now paired
+  with its English equivalent (`"publish a skill" / "опубликуй скилл"`) rather
+  than trailing the English list.
+- README is English-only, with a plain statement of what the skill gives you and
+  an author/links block.
+
+## v0.3.1 — 2026-07-25
+
+- Gotcha: **npm reports auth failures as `404` on publish.** A `PUT … 404` for a
+  package that `npm view` resolves means an expired token, not a missing package —
+  check `npm whoami` (E401 → `npm login`) before debugging the name. Cost two
+  debugging rounds.
+
+## v0.3.0 — 2026-07-25
+
+Review pass — a live shipping defect plus canon corrections that the repo itself
+was violating.
+
+- **FIX (shipping defect): `templates/SKILL.md` was distributed as a real skill.**
+  The skills CLI discovers EVERY `SKILL.md` in a repo, so the skeleton was listed
+  and installed on every agent as a placeholder skill literally named
+  `<skill-name>` (`npx skills add ssheleg/make-skill --list` → "Found 2 skills").
+  Renamed to `templates/SKILL.template.md`; the validator now **rejects any
+  `SKILL.md` outside `plugins/*/skills/*/`** so it cannot recur.
+- **Canon: shared contracts must live INSIDE the skill dir.** The skills CLI
+  ships only the skill's own directory, so a sibling `skills/references/`
+  (linked `../references/…`) reaches Claude Code plugins but arrives broken on
+  every other agent. Layout, authoring rules and the retrofit checklist updated;
+  new gotcha documents both this and the stray-SKILL.md trap.
+- **Validator hardened** (it now enforces what the canon preaches): description
+  must start "Use when …", must carry Russian triggers, frontmatter < 1024 chars,
+  no relative links inside `.mdc`, no stray `SKILL.md`. Each rule has a negative
+  test.
+- **Docs:** README no longer suggests the skills CLI for Claude Code (it shadows
+  the plugin); release checklist quotes the validator's real output.

+## What this gives you
+
+The moment you catch yourself re-explaining the same workflow to your agent, you
+want a skill. Then the packaging eats your evening: front-matter limits, four
+files that must carry the identical version, plugin ids that only work in full
+`name@name` form, a CLI that silently installs a second copy shadowing the one
+you just fixed.
+
+- **Turns a workflow you keep repeating into something installable** — for
+  yourself, your team, or the public.
+- **Keeps you inside the open standard** — the `name` charset, the 1024-char
+  `description` cap, the <500-line / <5000-token body budget. The validator
+  fails on each, so a skill that installs on Claude Code also installs
+  everywhere else.
+- **Ships the scaffolding that keeps it alive:** repo layout, a validator, CI
+  with negative self-tests. A skill that fails loudly beats one that quietly
+  stops firing.
+- **Knows where a skill ends and a protocol begins** — when to write an MCP
+  server instead, how to consume one safely, and what changes when the other
+  side is another agent over A2A.
+- **Covers every distribution channel** — Claude Code plugin, 70+ agents via the
+  vercel `skills` CLI, `npx`, Cursor rules — and the one-channel-per-agent rule
+  that stops them from shadowing each other.
+- **Encodes the gotchas that each cost a debugging round**, so your first
+  publish works instead of your fourth.

 the task and any path in `$ARGUMENTS`, announce it, then follow the skill exactly:
 
 - new skill only for this user's agents → **Create (personal)**
 - new skill others install → **Create (distributable)** → First publish end-to-end
-- existing skill/repo below the standard → **Retrofit** (audit → fix → release)
+- existing skill/repo below the standard, or "does this match the spec?" →
+  **Retrofit** (audit → fix → release)
 - a personal skill that should become installable → **Promote**
 
 Task: $ARGUMENTS
 
-If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, ask in one line what to create / retrofit / publish
-before starting.
+If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, **detect instead of asking**: inspect the current
+directory — a `SKILL.md`, `.claude-plugin/`, or `plugins/*/skills/*/` present →
+run the Retrofit audit and report the gap table plus exactly ONE next action.
+Only when there is nothing to detect, ask in one line what to create.
