-# Gentle Agent Extension Skill
-
-This skill teaches how to extend Gentle AI and Gentle Pi through the `gentle-agent-extensions` project using declarative files only — no code changes to the extension itself.
-
-## Activation Contract
-
-**Use this skill when:**
-- Creating a new custom agent for Gentle Pi
-- Adding an overlay to an existing agent or the orchestrator
-- Defining routing rules for when a custom agent should be delegated to
-- Creating a new project skill for use within gentle-agent-extensions
-- Modifying or removing any of the above
-
-**Do NOT use this skill for:**
-- One-off tasks that don't extend the agent system
-- Modifying the gentle-agent-extensions extension code directly
-- Changing Gentle AI or Gentle Pi official repositories
-
-## Hard Rules
-
-| Rule | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| **No official file modification** | Never modify files managed by Gentle Pi (`~/.pi/agent/agents/`, `~/.pi/agent/subagents/`, `subagents.json`, `.atl/skill-registry.md`) |
-| **No duplicate registries** | Do not create parallel agent registries or skill indexes. Use native discovery. |
-| **Declarative only** | New capabilities added via files in `agents/`, `overlays/`, `routing/`, `skills/` — not by editing extension code |
-| **Extension code is stable** | Changes to `extensions/gentle-agent-extensions.ts` are exceptional and require architectural justification |
-| **Manifest ownership** | Only files listed in `.manifest.json` are project-owned. Sync never touches unlisted files. |
-| **Idempotent sync** | Running `sync.sh` repeatedly with same config produces no changes |
-| **Profile awareness** | Respect installation profile (pi, gentle-shell, gentle-shell-linked) — different agent homes |
-
-## Decision Gates
-
-### Choosing the Right Extension Mechanism
-
-| Need | Mechanism | Location |
-|------|-----------|----------|
-| New autonomous capability with own prompt | **New Agent** | `agents/{name}.md` |
-| Modify behavior of existing agent/orchestrator | **Overlay** | `overlays/{target}.overlay.md` |
-| Define when orchestrator delegates to agent | **Routing** | `routing/{agent}.md` |
-| Reusable workflow/decision logic for agents | **Skill** | `skills/{name}/SKILL.md` |
-| External tool/API integration via MCP | **MCP Server** | `mcp/{name}.mcp.json` |
-| New programmatic capability not possible declaratively | **Extension Code** | `extensions/` (rare, justify) |
-
-### Agent vs Overlay vs Skill
-
-| Situation | Action |
-|-----------|--------|
-| Capability needs its own model/tools/mode | Create Agent + Routing + Skill |
-| Existing agent needs extra instructions | Create Overlay targeting that agent |
-| Orchestrator needs global routing rules | Create Overlay targeting `orchestrator` |
-| Delegation logic is reusable across tasks | Create Skill with Activation Contract |
-| Simple one-time instruction addition | Use Overlay (simpler than Agent) |
-
-## Execution Steps
-
-### Procedure A: Add a New Agent
-
-1. **Define identity and purpose**
-   - Choose unique name (kebab-case, e.g., `code-reviewer`)
-   - Write one-line description of when to use it
-   - Determine model, thinking level, mode, tools needed
-
-2. **Create agent definition**
-   ```bash
-   # Create agent file
-   cat > agents/code-reviewer.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   name: code-reviewer
-   description: "Reviews code changes for correctness, style, and security"
-   model: anthropic/claude-opus-4
-   thinking: high
-   mode: task
-   tools: [read, write, edit, bash, grep]
-   ---
-   
-   # Code Reviewer Agent
-   
-   You are a senior code reviewer. Review the changes...
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-3. **Create routing instructions** (if semantic delegation needed)
-   ```bash
-   cat > routing/code-reviewer.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   agent: code-reviewer
-   triggers:
-     - "review this code"
-     - "code review"
-     - "check my changes"
-   conditions:
-     - "User explicitly requests code review"
-     - "PR/MR is ready for review"
-   delegation: subagent_run
-   ---
-   
-   # Routing for code-reviewer
-   
-   ## When to Use
-   Delegate when user asks for code review or changes need review.
-   
-   ## How to Delegate
-   Use subagent_run with agent="code-reviewer", mode="task"
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-4. **Create associated skill** (for semantic activation)
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p skills/code-reviewer
-   cat > skills/code-reviewer/SKILL.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   name: code-reviewer
-   description: "Trigger: code review, review code, check changes. Delegates to code-reviewer agent for code review tasks."
-   license: Apache-2.0
-   metadata:
-     author: gentleman-programming
-     version: "1.0"
-   ---
-   
-   # Code Reviewer Skill
-   
-   ## Activation Contract
-   Use when user requests code review or changes need review.
-   
-   ## Hard Rules
-   - Only delegate via subagent_run to code-reviewer agent
-   - Pass specific files/changes to review in task description
-   
-   ## Decision Gates
-   | Situation | Action |
-   |-----------|--------|
-   | User says "review" | Delegate to code-reviewer |
-   | General coding task | Do NOT delegate |
-   
-   ## Execution Steps
-   1. Identify files/changes to review
-   2. Call subagent_run with agent=code-reviewer
-   3. Return review results to user
-   
-   ## Output Contract
-   - Review findings with severity levels
-   - Suggested fixes
-   
-   ## References
-   - agents/code-reviewer.md
-   - routing/code-reviewer.md
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-5. **Run sync**
-   ```bash
-   scripts/sync.sh
-   ```
-
-6. **Verify**
-   - Run `scripts/doctor.sh` — should pass
-   - Start Pi, run `/gentle-extensions:status` — agent listed
-   - Test delegation: ask Pi to "review this code" — should invoke agent
-
-7. **Update tests and docs**
-   - Add test fixture if new pattern
-   - Update README if new capability type
-
-### Procedure B: Add an Overlay
-
-1. **Identify target**
-   - Agent name (e.g., `gentle-ai-worker`) or `orchestrator`
-
-2. **Create overlay file**
-   ```bash
-   cat > overlays/gentle-ai-worker.overlay.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   target: gentle-ai-worker
-   priority: 100
-   mode: append
-   ---
-   
-   # Overlay for gentle-ai-worker
-   
-   ## Additional Instructions
-   
-   When writing tests, always use the project's test utilities.
-   Prefer table-driven tests over individual test cases.
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-3. **Validate target exists**
-   - Run `scripts/doctor.sh` — warns if target unknown
-   - Target can be global agent, project agent, or `orchestrator`
-
-4. **Run sync**
-   ```bash
-   scripts/sync.sh
-   ```
-
-5. **Verify**
-   - Start Pi, invoke target agent
-   - Check overlay instructions appear in agent's prompt (via `/gentle-extensions:status` or debug)
-
-6. **Document**
-   - Note overlay purpose in PR/docs
-
-## Output Contract
-
-After executing either procedure, the following must be true:
-
-| Output | Verification |
-|--------|--------------|
-| Agent file in `agents/` | `ls agents/{name}.md` |
-| Routing file in `routing/` | `ls routing/{name}.md` |
-| Skill dir in `skills/` | `ls skills/{name}/SKILL.md` |
-| Overlay file in `overlays/` | `ls overlays/{target}.overlay.md` |
-| Sync completes without errors | `scripts/sync.sh` exits 0 |
-| Doctor passes | `scripts/doctor.sh` exits 0 |
-| Agent discoverable by Gentle Pi | `/gentle-extensions:status` shows agent |
-| Overlay applied at runtime | Target agent receives additional instructions |
-| Skill indexed by registry | `/skill-registry:refresh` includes skill |
-| No official files modified | `git status ~/.pi/agent` clean |
-| Manifest updated | `.manifest.json` lists new files |
-
-## Procedure C: Add an MCP Server
-
-1. **Define the MCP server**
-   - Choose unique name (kebab-case, e.g., `github`)
-   - Write one-line description of what it provides
-   - Determine transport: `stdio` (command + args) or `http` (URL)
-   - Identify required environment variables (use `${VAR}` syntax)
-   - Choose tool exposure: `codemode` (default), `direct`, `deferred`, `hidden`
-   - List capabilities: `tools`, `resources`
-   - Note any agent dependencies
-   - Document authentication requirements
-
-2. **Create MCP definition file**
-   ```bash
-   cat > mcp/github.mcp.json <<'EOF'
-   {
-     "name": "github",
-     "description": "GitHub API access for issues, PRs, repos",
-     "transport": "http",
-     "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
-     "env": {
-       "GITHUB_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
-     },
-     "exposure": "deferred",
-     "toolExposure": {
-       "search_code": "direct",
-       "get_*": "codemode",
-       "delete_*": "hidden"
-     },
-     "enabled": true,
-     "timeout": 60,
-     "capabilities": ["tools"],
-     "agentDependencies": ["code-reviewer", "repo-manager"],
-     "auth": {
-       "type": "bearer",
-       "envVar": "GITHUB_TOKEN",
-       "description": "GitHub personal access token"
-     }
-   }
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-3. **Create or update agent routing with MCP dependencies**
-   ```bash
-   cat > routing/code-reviewer.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   agent: code-reviewer
-   triggers:
-     - "review this code"
-     - "code review"
-   mcpDependencies:
-     - github
-     - filesystem
-   delegation: subagent_run
-   ---
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-4. **Run sync**
-   ```bash
-   scripts/sync.sh
-   ```
-
-5. **Verify**
-   - Run `scripts/doctor.sh` — should pass
-   - Start Pi, run `/gentle-extensions:status` — MCP server listed
-   - Check `/mcp` in Pi — server connected
-   - Test delegation: ask Pi to use the MCP tools
-
-6. **Document**
-   - Note MCP server purpose and dependencies in PR/docs
-
-### Procedure D: Add MCP Dependencies to an Existing Agent
-
-1. **Update agent routing file** to include `mcpDependencies`:
-   ```bash
-   cat > routing/my-agent.md <<'EOF'
-   ---
-   agent: my-agent
-   triggers:
-     - "search code"
-     - "find files"
-   mcpDependencies:
-     - github
-     - filesystem
-   delegation: subagent_run
-   ---
-   EOF
-   ```
-
-2. **Run sync** and verify
-   ```bash
-   scripts/sync.sh
-   scripts/doctor.sh
-   ```
-
-3. **Test** - The orchestrator will see available MCP servers and their capabilities.
-
