+  denied.** The guide's closing paragraph — run `resurface` when you start work
+  in a folder, run `rules` before you change a file — was withheld from every
+  tool that has a session hook, which is the two most people use, and turning
+  hooks off removed the callbacks without putting the instructions back. The

+### Agent guidance

+- The guide no longer claims a host always loads a skill from its description.
+  A host short on room lists some by name alone, so an agent is told to read
+  `<tool-home>/skills/memgineering-<name>/SKILL.md` when it cannot see what one
+  covers. Restart your agent session after upgrading to pick this up.
