+# Versioning

+SkillBoard has several versioned surfaces. They should not all move at the same
+pace, and not every skill file belongs in central version control.
+
 This document defines the public alpha policy for releases, config compatibility,
 source profiles, and the generated lockfile.
-
-## Status
-
-Current package version: `0.1.1`
-
-Current config schema version:
-
-```yaml
-version: 1
-```
-
-The project is a public alpha. Breaking changes are allowed before `1.0.0`, but
-they must be documented in release notes and should include a migration note when
-they affect user config.
-
-## Versioned Surfaces
-
-SkillBoard versions these surfaces deliberately:
-
-- CLI package version: the npm package and command behavior.
-- Config schema version: the top-level `version` field in
-  `skillboard.config.yaml`.
-- Source profile format: YAML files under `profiles/` and project-specific
-  `.skillboard/profiles/`.
-- Workflow contracts: workflow names, required capabilities, active skill pools,
-  required outputs, and harness choices.
-- Capability contracts: canonical skill, alternatives, and default policy for a
-  capability.
-- Exported skill entries: shared or vendor skills governed by SkillBoard.
-- Install-unit entries: plugin, marketplace, package, harness, MCP, hook, agent,
-  and LSP sources.

+- CLI package version: the npm package and command behavior.

-SkillBoard does not try to centrally version every prompt or helper skill. A
-workflow-internal private skill can remain inside that workflow package until it
-becomes shared, auto-invokable, vendor-provided, or cross-workflow.
-
-## Release Versioning
-
-The package follows SemVer with a stricter alpha convention:
-
-- Patch: bug fixes, docs, new tests, safer validation, and non-breaking profile
-  additions.
-- Minor: new commands, new config fields with safe defaults, new report sections,
-  new built-in source profiles, and new policy checks that are warnings first.
-- Major: post-`1.0.0` breaking CLI, config, or policy behavior.
-
-Before `1.0.0`, breaking changes may happen in minor releases, but the changelog
-must call them out clearly.

 Suggested tags:
 
 - `v0.1.0-alpha`: first public GitHub alpha.
-- `v0.2.0-alpha`: source inventory refresh, doctor/status, source pin refresh,
+- `v0.2.1`: ask-after skill routing, README benefit-first positioning,
+  source inventory refresh, doctor/status, source pin refresh,
   installer/config detection, resilient detector warnings, and richer dry-run
   plans.
 - `v0.3.0-alpha`: signed remote source verification hardening and migration
   workflow.
 - `v1.0.0`: config schema and core CLI behavior are stable enough for external
   workflows to rely on.
-
-## Config Schema Version
-
-The top-level `version` field is the schema version, not the package version.
-
-Rules:
-
-- `version: 1` is the only supported schema today.
-- Missing `version` is treated as `1` for early compatibility.
-- Unsupported future versions must fail fast rather than silently parsing with
-  older semantics.
-- New fields should default to the safest behavior.
-- New automatic invocation behavior must be opt-in.
-- New policy checks should start as warnings unless they protect an important
-  safety boundary.
-
-Breaking schema changes need a migration note. A future `skillboard migrate`
-command can automate those changes, but it is not implemented yet.
-
-## Source Profile Versioning
-
-Source profiles are data, not hardcoded adapter branches. Built-in profiles live
-under `profiles/`; project profiles can live under `.skillboard/profiles/`.
-
-Profile compatibility rules:
-
-- Adding a new built-in profile is a patch or minor change.
-- Changing a built-in profile's namespace, target path prefix, default status,
-  default invocation, or default exposure is a breaking profile behavior change.
-- External profiles should not grant `global-auto` unless they also mark the
-  imported skills as `global-meta`.
-- External repository skills should normally import as `vendor`, `candidate`, or
-  `quarantined`, with `manual-only` or `router-only` invocation.
-- Harness/plugin bundle profiles should use `unit-managed` for child skills when
-  the parent bundle owns commands, hooks, MCP servers, or config mutation.
-
-Profile imports can be reviewed as fragments or merged directly:
-
-```bash
-skillboard import \
-  --profile github.mattpocock.skills \
-  --source-root /path/to/source \
-  --out .skillboard/reports/import-fragment.yaml
-```

-## Workflow And Capability Versioning
-
-The primary unit of compatibility is the workflow, not an individual skill.

-Version these centrally:
-
-- workflow name and intent;
-- harness and fallback harness assumptions;
-- required capabilities;
-- active, blocked, and manual-only skill pools;
-- required outputs;
-- exported skill contracts used by more than one workflow;
-- policy decisions that allow automatic invocation.
-
-Avoid central versioning for:
-
-- one-off prompts;
-- workflow-internal helper skills;
-- private skills used by only one workflow;
-- temporary templates that are not auto-invokable;
-- implementation details inside a harness bundle.
-
-When a workflow changes its required outputs, required capabilities, or
-workflow-auto skill set, treat it as a compatibility change even if no file paths
-changed.
