+ *
+ * Scanner note (MANDATORY — do not regress)
+ * -----------------------------------------
+ * This file is held scanner-clean by construction:
+ *   - NO `process.env` reads. The home / workspace path arrives as a
+ *     parameter from the caller, so the env-harvesting rule (env + net

+/**
+ * skill-register — mirror the bundled SKILL.md + skill.json into the
+ * OpenClaw workspace skills directory on plugin load so the skill is
+ * auto-discovered without a separate `openclaw skills install` step.
+ *
+ * Why this file exists
+ * --------------------
+ * Historically `openclaw plugins install @totalreclaw/totalreclaw`
+ * installed only the plugin code; the SKILL.md instructions had to be
+ * installed via a second `openclaw skills install totalreclaw` command
+ * that agents frequently skipped — leaving the agent without the
+ * pairing / recall playbook. With the skill files copied into
+ * `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/totalreclaw/` at register() time, the
+ * workspace skill scanner picks them up on the next gateway load, so a
+ * single `openclaw plugins install` is enough for both plugin + skill.
+ *
+ * Scanner note (MANDATORY — do not regress)
+ * -----------------------------------------
+ * This file is held scanner-clean by construction:
+ *   - NO `process.env` reads. The home / workspace path arrives as a
+ *     parameter from the caller, so the env-harvesting rule (env + net
+ *     in the same file) can never fire here.
+ *   - NO outbound-network primitives or trigger words. Disk-only. The
+ *     potential-exfiltration rule (disk read + net in the same file)
+ *     therefore cannot fire either.
+ * Do NOT add network-capable imports or trigger-word comments to this
+ * file — see `../scripts/check-scanner.mjs` for the exact rule set.
