-## Skill Development
+## Hook Curation
 
-When main agent asks to build/create skills, use the **skill-development** skill which follows the 6-step process:
-1. Understand with concrete examples
-2. Plan reusable contents
-3. Create structure (references/, examples/, scripts/)
-4. Write SKILL.md in imperative form
-5. Validate with `.claude/skills/skill-development/scripts/validate-skill.sh`
-6. Iterate based on usage
+Hook system uses Shell/Python scripts with claude-envoy. Read adjacent hook files for implementation consistency.
 
-## Agent Development
+## Envoy Curation
 
-When main agent asks to build/create agents, use the **specialist-builder** skill which includes:
-- `<example>` block format for triggering
-- System prompt design patterns (Analysis, Generation, Validation, Orchestration)
-- Validation script: `.claude/skills/specialist-builder/scripts/validate-agent.sh`
+Envoy replaces MCP servers for external tool access. Self-documenting via help commands. Foundational to agentic workflow - maintain and stay current.
 
-## Command Development
+## XML Directive Patterns
 
-When main agent asks to create slash commands, use the **command-development** skill which covers:
-- Command locations and file format
-- YAML frontmatter fields
-- Dynamic arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2)
-- File references (@) and bash execution (exclamation-backtick syntax)
+All `.claude/` artifacts MUST use XML directive structure for LLM parseability and consistency.

-When main agent asks about hooks, use the **hook-development** skill which covers:

+## Heal Workflow
+
+When user reports something broken or suboptimal in .claude/ artifacts:
+
+1. **Detect** - Identify the issue from user complaint
+2. **Reflect** - Analyze what went wrong and why
+3. **Propose** - Show before/after diff with explanation:
+   ```
+   Current: [problematic pattern]
+   Should be: [corrected pattern]
+   Why: [reason this matters]
+   ```
+4. **Confirm** - Get user approval before applying fix
+
+Never apply fixes without explicit approval. Show complete diff for transparency.
+
+## Audit Pattern
+
+When auditing `.claude/` artifacts:
+1. Read reference docs FIRST (claude-code-patterns skill)
+2. Use actual patterns from refs, not memory
+3. Apply contextual judgment (simple vs complex)
+
+### XML Validation Checklist
+
+Per artifact, verify:
+- [ ] `<objective>` present, 1-2 sentences
+- [ ] `<quick_start>` present, 1-4 steps
+- [ ] `<success_criteria>` present, bullet list
+- [ ] `<constraints>` present, behavioral boundaries
