-Invoke the skill with Pi's `/skill:name` command, or supervise it with `/goal /skill:name task`. The goal extension resolves the command against Pi's registry, persists its source, and expands the skill on kickoff and continuation (including after session resume). A bound command that disappears or changes source pauses the goal. `/goal /template task` also re-expands prompt templates on continuation; `/goal /extension-command task` dispatches the extension command once, then continues with ordinary goal supervision to avoid repeating side effects. Plain-language goals work as before. This command binding requires Pi 0.84.4 or later. Legacy slash-shaped goals without a binding pause on resume rather than running without the skill. `/workflow` shows a coordinator skill owner; call `release_workflow` after the workflow's completion audit, or use `/workflow clear` to release ownership manually. `release_workflow` also pauses an active Goal bound to that coordinator, preserving its objective and incomplete status. Reinvoke the skill explicitly before `/goal resume`; automatic continuation cannot reacquire ownership. Unrelated ordinary Goals are unchanged. Completing an active goal also releases ownership.
+Invoke the skill with Pi's `/skill:name` command, or supervise it with `/goal /skill:name task`. The goal extension resolves the command against Pi's registry, persists its source, and expands the skill on kickoff and continuation (including after session resume).

Plain-language goals work as before. This command binding requires Pi 0.84.4 or later. Legacy slash-shaped goals without a binding pause on resume rather than running without the skill. `/workflow` shows a coordinator skill owner. When the workflow is done, complete the goal (`update_goal`), which also releases ownership. When it hands back unfinished work, call `release_workflow`, or use `/workflow clear` to release ownership manually. `release_workflow` also pauses an active Goal bound to that coordinator as a handback, preserving its objective and incomplete status. Resuming that Goal (`/goal resume`, `alt+g`, or, with conversational resume on, the user's go-ahead such as "continue") rebinds the coordinator it was created with, provided the skill is still registered at its original source; automatic continuation and synthetic input never reacquire ownership. Unrelated ordinary Goals are unchanged.
 
 A skill that is only an alias of a coordinator declares the target instead of a role:
