 # SkillBoard Control Plane
 
-Your responsibility is to answer skill availability questions from SkillBoard, translate user intent into current action ids, ask for one confirmation only before policy-changing actions, apply one current action, reread the post-apply brief, and run the guard automatically before invocation.
-
-## Product Goal
-
-- SkillBoard is a permissive AI skill routing layer, not a pre-task settings checklist.
-- Keep installed skills broadly available by default; use SkillBoard to resolve overlap when several skills could steer the same task.
-- Read \`docs/ai-skill-routing-goal.md\` before changing routing, brief, bridge, policy, or workflow UX.
-- Preserve the loop: observe → route → work → explain briefly → ask after → remember policy.
-- SkillBoard does not rewrite \`SKILL.md\` bodies to personalize behavior; record usage policy for when to use, prefer, reference, avoid, or block skills.
-
-## Availability
-
-- Use SkillBoard as the source of truth for project-local policy and workflow priority; installed \`SKILL.md\` files are candidates, not enough to resolve overlap by themselves.
-- Read the current brief before answering: \`skillboard brief --json --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\`. If the workflow is known, include \`--workflow <name>\`; add \`--include-actions\` when the user wants you to mediate a change.
-- For ordinary user requests, work normally unless skill choice is ambiguous, several skills overlap, workflow priority matters, or the user explicitly asks for a SkillBoard or skill decision. In those cases, read \`skillboard brief --intent <request> --json --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\`. Include \`--workflow <name>\` when known. Read \`assistant_guidance.route\`; use \`recommended_skill\`, \`fallback_skills\`, \`route_candidates\`, \`overlap_resolution\`, \`policy_memory\`, \`post_use_policy_suggestion\`, and \`guard_command\` instead of guessing from raw skill text. Inspect \`overlap_resolution\` and \`route_candidates\` when several skills match so allowed overlap, denied candidates, and selected fallbacks are clear. If \`policy_memory\` is present, mention after completion that remembered or configured policy selected this skill even though other allowed skills were available. If \`post_use_policy_suggestion\` is present, work first with the allowed routed skill, then ask after completion whether to remember the suggested policy. If no skill matches, ask a clarifying question before choosing a skill.
-- If the user explicitly requests a specific already-allowed skill, honor that request after guard use instead of rerouting away solely because another skill also matches.
-- Treat the brief sections headed "What your AI can use now", "Needs your decision", and "Blocked for safety" as the availability summary; do not infer availability from \`SKILL.md\` bodies.
-- Treat "Needs your decision" as a one-time decision queue, not a persistent blocked state. "Blocked for safety" means the skill/source/workflow is hard-blocked until policy or provenance changes.
-- Use \`skillboard can-use <skill-id> --workflow <name> --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills --json\` for machine-readable agent decisions.
-
-## Intent to Action
-
-- Translate user intent into current action ids from the current brief, not saved output.
-- For action cards, read \`skillboard brief --json --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills --include-actions\`, pick one current action id, ask the user for one confirmation, then run \`skillboard apply-action <action-id> --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills --yes --json\`. Include \`--workflow <name>\` when a workflow is selected.
-- After \`skillboard apply-action <action-id> ... --yes --json\`, reread the returned post-apply brief before answering the next availability question or applying another action. \`apply-action\` re-resolves current actions; do not apply cached or stale action ids, do not apply multiple actions, and do not run raw action-card shell text as the primary apply path.
-- For an already-allowed skill, do not ask for another approval. Run \`skillboard guard use <skill-id> --workflow <name> --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\` automatically. Say at the start: "I will use <skill-id> for this request." Say at completion: "I used <skill-id> for this request." Treat this disclosure as an audit trace, not a permission prompt. Ask the user only if the guard denies use or a policy-changing action is needed.
-
-## Operations
-
-- Source trust: run \`skillboard audit sources --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\` before trusting newly imported external skill sources; after review, use \`skillboard review install-unit <unit-id> --trust-level reviewed --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\`. Unreviewed runtime sources are a one-time review decision, not a default block recommendation; after review, activate only the needed quarantined skills as manual-only workflow skills and use ask-after policy suggestions for future preferences.
-- Health: run \`skillboard doctor --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills\` or \`skillboard status --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills --json\`; add \`--strict\` when review-needed safe mode should fail automation.
-- Hook action cards: prefer \`skillboard apply-action <action-id> --yes --json\`. The underlying manual preview is \`skillboard hook install --workflow <name> --config skillboard.config.yaml --skills skills --out .skillboard/hooks/<name>-guard.sh --dry-run --json\`; inspect \`planned.preview.shell\` before materializing an executable guard hook outside the action-card control loop. Generated hooks pin the install-time SkillBoard command, config, skills root, and workflow; set those values with hook install options such as \`--skillboard-bin\`, not runtime environment overrides.
-- Inventory/import growth: run \`skillboard inventory refresh --dry-run --config skillboard.config.yaml\` after installing local skill packs, plugins, workflow bundles, or harnesses; run \`skillboard import --profile <id-or-path> --source-root <repo> --out .skillboard/reports/import-fragment.yaml\` after installing a new skill repository, then review the fragment before merging it into \`skillboard.config.yaml\`.
-- Prefer workflow-scoped skills over global skill invocation. Only \`global-meta\` skills may be treated as globally available.
+SkillBoard keeps one user-level policy. A valid installed skill defaults to
+enabled and agent-local. Users may opt individual skills into cross-agent
+sharing. Optional preference ranks enabled skills installed for the current
+agent and never changes availability or copies files.
+
+## Route and use
+
+- Work normally unless skills overlap or the user asks
+  for a skill decision.
+- Read \`skillboard brief --intent <request> --agent <agent> --json\`.
+- Use the recommended enabled, installed skill and ordered fallbacks. Honor an
+  explicit user choice when the guard allows it.
+- Run \`skillboard guard use <skill-id> --agent <agent> --json\` immediately
+  before use.
+- Do not ask for another approval when guard allows use. Briefly disclose the
+  selected skill as an audit trace.
+- If the routed brief suggests policy memory, finish the work first, then ask
+  once whether to remember that intent preference. Do not prompt before use.
+
+## Change policy
+
+- Policy changes only enable/disable a skill, share/unshare one skill, or
+  remember optional ranking preference.
+- Read a fresh brief with \`--include-actions\`, choose one current action id, ask
+  for one confirmation, then run \`skillboard apply-action <action-id> --yes
+  --json\`.
+- Reread the returned post-apply brief. Never reuse cached action ids or apply
+  multiple actions from one confirmation.
+- If inventory no longer observes a permanently removed unshared skill, use its
+  current forget action after confirmation. Forget removes policy only and never
+  deletes skill files.
+
+## Compatibility and boundaries
+
+- If the brief reports stale version 1 policy, do not mutate it. Preview
+  \`skillboard migrate v2 --config skillboard.config.yaml --json\`, then obtain
+  confirmation before applying with \`--yes --json\`. Rollback uses
+  \`--rollback <backup> --json\`.
+- Source and provenance observations are optional audit metadata and never
+  determine availability.
+- Runtime and action authorization are outside SkillBoard's scope. Follow the
+  agent or harness permission boundary for commands, hooks, MCP servers,
+  external writes, destructive actions, network access, and secrets.
