+You help the developer address code or documentation review feedback on a **SkillOps** pull request.
+
+Rules:
+1. **Minimal Scope:** Change only what is required to resolve the review feedback. Do not perform unrelated refactors.
+2. **Preserve Standards:** Keep all tracked files in `en-US`, verify `npm run lint && npm test`, and update the corresponding `pt-BR` mirror inside `DOCS-DEV/` if present locally.
+3. **Review Gate:** Never run `git commit` or `git push` automatically. After applying the file edits, present the diff summary and proposed **Conventional Commit** message (`fix(...)` or `docs(...)`) to the developer for approval.

+2. Compare them against their counterparts inside `DOCS-DEV/`.
+3. Verify that:
+   - Every tracked file is written strictly in **English (`en-US`)**.
+   - Every mirrored file in `DOCS-DEV/` is written strictly in **Portuguese (`pt-BR`)** and reflects the latest architecture (`npx skillops@latest`), governance rules, and ADRs.
+   - `DOCS-DEV/` remains listed in `.gitignore` and is never staged in Git.

+## Quick Start (`npx skillops-cli@latest`)
+
+Run **SkillOps** in any repository with zero global installation or API keys (or install globally via `npm install -g skillops-cli` to use the `skillops` command directly):
+
+```bash
+# 1. Inspect the Top 20 supported AI coding agents & auto-detect active harnesses in your repo
+npx skillops-cli@latest harnesses
+
+# 2. Audit your repository's Startup Token Tax across all 20 AI coding agents & 13 MCP formats
+npx skillops-cli@latest tokens
+
+# 3. Audit a catalog for semantic routing collisions & 3-level progressive disclosure compliance
+npx skillops-cli@latest audit --catalog catalog --strict --require-layout
+
+# 4. Fingerprint a target repository and transpile an optimal bundle across auto-detected or all 20 AI runtimes
+npx skillops-cli@latest sync --repo . --targets auto
+
+# 5. Automatically register the SkillOps JSON-RPC 2.0 stdio MCP server across MCP-capable IDEs & agents
+npx skillops-cli@latest mcp-setup --repo . --targets auto
+
+# 6. Run 100% offline deterministic with_skill vs without_skill TDD evaluations
+npx skillops-cli@latest eval --catalog catalog --strict

+
+## Why SkillOps Exists (The 2026 Agent Harness & Token Economy Crisis)
+
+As AI-native engineering teams scale their agent customizations across the **Top 20 AI Coding Agents, IDEs, and CLI Harnesses** (**Claude Code**, **Antigravity / Gemini CLI**, **Cursor**, **OpenAI Codex CLI**, **GitHub Copilot**, **Windsurf**, **Cline**, **Roo Code**, **Kilo Code**, **Zed AI**, **Continue.dev**, **Aider**, **OpenHands**, **Sourcegraph Amp**, **OpenCode**, **Block Goose**, **AWS Kiro**, **Trae IDE**, **JetBrains Junie**, and **Amazon Q Developer**), two critical failure modes documented in 2026 empirical AI systems research break production workflows:
+
+1. **Implicit Routing Collapse (*Lost in Implicit Routing*, `arXiv:2610.18522`):**  
+   Dumping 50–100+ skills with overlapping natural-language descriptions into an agent's workspace causes **semantic routing recall to collapse from `73.6%` to `27.4%`**, while burning **8,000–15,000+ context tokens** before the developer writes a single prompt.
+2. **Skill-Induced Regressions & Startup Token Tax (*Agent Skills Can Be Harmful*, `arXiv:2608.11888`):**  
+   Static, prose-heavy `SKILL.md` files without deterministic verification scripts or comparative `with_skill` vs. `without_skill` benchmarks frequently **degrade pass rates** on complex engineering tasks while inflating token overhead by **30%–200%**.
+
+**SkillOps** is a **100% Zero-API, Offline-First Skill Engineering & Token Economy Platform** built in strict **Node.js 20+ / TypeScript** (`zod` + `yaml` — zero API keys or HTTP servers required) that solves both problems:
+- **Pillar 1 — The `npx skillops@latest` Core Engine (`src/`):** A pure local CLI and JSON-RPC 2.0 `stdio` MCP Server that analyzes repository Startup Token Tax across all 20 AI harnesses (`skillops tokens`), lints 3-level progressive disclosure budgets and pairwise semantic collisions (`skillops audit`), fingerprints repositories to compile optimal `<= 12` skill + subagent bundles (`skillops route`), transpiles artifacts across all 20 runtimes (`skillops sync` / `skillops add`), configures local MCP servers idempotently (`skillops mcp-setup`), and runs deterministic AST & subprocess `with_skill` vs. `without_skill` benchmarks (`skillops eval`).
+- **Pillar 2 — The Benchmark-Verified Catalog (`catalog/`):** **Hybrid Executable Skills** and **Context-Isolated Subagents**, where every skill pairs a concise `<= 250`-line `SKILL.md` with a zero-hallucination **Python 3.12+ CLI tool (`scripts/*.py --json`)** and a **TDD evaluation suite (`evals/evals.json` + `evals/benchmark.json`)**.

+Modern AI coding harnesses (Claude Code, Antigravity/Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenAI Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Zed AI, Continue.dev, Aider, OpenHands, Sourcegraph Amp, OpenCode, Block Goose, AWS Kiro, Trae IDE, JetBrains Junie, and Amazon Q Developer) rely on `SKILL.md` modules, scoped rule files, and specialized subagents to guide agent behavior. Empirical research revealed two critical failure modes in community skill libraries:

+1. **Implicit Routing Collapse (*Lost in Implicit Routing*, `arXiv:2610.18522`):**
+   - Loading dozens of overlapping or poorly differentiated skill descriptions into a workspace drops implicit skill selection recall from **73.6% down to 27.4%**, and in **51.6% of tasks** the agent loads **zero skills**.
+   - **SkillOps Contract Rule:** Every skill description must obey strict trigger boundaries and pass pairwise semantic cosine-similarity auditing (`cosine_similarity < 0.72` across any active bundle).
+2. **Skill-Induced Regressions & Startup Token Tax Bloat (*Agent Skills Can Be Harmful*, `arXiv:2608.11888`):**
+   - Verbose prose instructions without deterministic scripts induce functional regressions or inflate token consumption by **4× to 15×** when they force the LLM to perform deterministic checks manually.
+   - **SkillOps Contract Rule:** Every catalog skill in `catalog/` must be a **Hybrid Executable Skill**—pairing a concise `SKILL.md` (`<= 250 lines`) with deterministic Python 3.12+ CLI tools (`scripts/*.py --json`) and a verifiable TDD evaluation suite (`evals/evals.json`). Heavy multi-file exploration is delegated to **Context-Isolated Subagents** (`catalog/subagents/` or `.github/agents/`) capped at `<= 400` output tokens.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Three-Level Progressive Disclosure & Subagent Token Budget Contract
+
+To protect context windows across single-agent and multi-agent runs, every skill and subagent governed by **SkillOps** enforces strict progressive disclosure budgets:
+
+| Disclosure Tier | Artifact | When Loaded into LLM Context | Maximum Token / Size Budget | Enforcement Tool |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Always-On Root Instructions** | `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` | **Always loaded** at session start | `<= 600 tokens` per file; `<= 2,500 tokens` total repo Startup Token Tax | `npx skillops tokens --strict` |
+| **Level 1: Routing Metadata** | YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`, `routing_signals`) | **Always loaded** at session start (for active bundle skills) | `40–110 words` (`<= 160 tokens` per skill; `<= 1,500 tokens` per bundle) | `npx skillops audit --strict` |
+| **Level 2: Core Workflow (`SKILL.md` Body)** | Markdown instructions in `SKILL.md` | **Loaded on demand** only when the skill triggers | `<= 250 lines` (`<= 1,800 tokens`) | `npx skillops audit --strict` |
+| **Level 3: Bundled Execution & References** | `scripts/*.py` (executed via CLI/MCP) & `references/*.md` | **Never preloaded**; scripts run out-of-context and return compact JSON | `0` startup tokens (scripts emit `<= 4 KB` JSON summary) | `npx skillops audit` & `npx skillops mcp` |
+| **Context-Isolated Subagent** | `AGENT.md` / `.agent.md` | Runs in an **isolated child context window** | System prompt `<= 1,000 tokens`; compressed output `<= 400 tokens`; no `["*"]` wildcard tools | `npx skillops audit --strict` (`INV-SKILL-04`) |
+

+---
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Schema 2: Deterministic Python Script Contract (`scripts/*.py`)
+
+Every Python tool bundled inside `catalog/<track>/<skill-name>/scripts/*.py` must adhere to a uniform Agent-Computer Interface (`ScriptOutputSchema` in [`src/models.ts`](./src/models.ts)):
+
+1. **Zero Heavy Third-Party Dependencies:** Use Python 3.12+ standard library (`ast`, `pathlib`, `json`, `argparse`, `re`, `sqlite3`, `tokenize`) so scripts run instantaneously in any environment.
+2. **Mandatory `--json` Flag:** Every script must support `--json` and emit a deterministic JSON payload to `stdout`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "skill": "ast-blast-radius",
+  "script": "analyze_call_graph.py",
+  "status": "ok",
+  "target": "src/auditor/collision.ts:auditCatalog",
+  "summary": {
+    "direct_callers": 3,
+    "transitive_dependents": 7,
+    "risk_level": "medium"
+  },
+  "findings": []
+}
+```
+
+3. **Deterministic Exit Codes:**
+   - `0`: Execution succeeded and all checks/invariants passed.
+   - `1`: Execution succeeded and detected actionable findings/violations.
+   - `2`: Invalid CLI arguments or target path not found.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Schema 3: TDD Evaluation & Benchmark Contract (`evals/evals.json` & `benchmark.json`)
+
+Validated by `EvalSuiteSchema` and `BenchmarkReportSchema` (Zod v3 in [`src/models.ts`](./src/models.ts)) and executed offline via `npx skillops@latest eval`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Functional Invariants (EARS Specification) & CLI Exit Codes
+
+The **SkillOps** TypeScript NPX engine enforces the following **EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax)** invariants across CLI, CI, and MCP interfaces:
+
+- **`INV-SKILL-01` (Ubiquitous — Progressive Disclosure Budget):** The SkillOps auditor **shall** enforce that every catalog skill keeps its YAML `description` between `40` and `110` words (`<= 160 tokens`) and its `SKILL.md` body at or below `250` lines (`<= 1,800 tokens`).
+- **`INV-SKILL-02` (Event-Driven — Semantic Collision Guardrail):** **When** `npx skillops audit` evaluates a skill directory, the system **shall** flag any pair of skills whose descriptions exceed the semantic cosine-similarity threshold (`>= 0.58` warning, `>= 0.72` high-risk, `>= 0.85` blocking error).
+- **`INV-SKILL-03` (Event-Driven — Context-Aware Bundle Cap):** **When** `npx skillops route` or `npx skillops sync` compiles a skill bundle for a target repository, the system **shall** select at most `12` collision-free skills (`<= 1,500` total Level 1 tokens) matching the repository's `RepoProfile`.
+- **`INV-SKILL-04` (Ubiquitous — Context-Isolated Subagent Contract):** Every subagent governed by SkillOps **shall** declare an explicit least-privilege `tools` allowlist (never `["*"]`), keep its system prompt `<= 1,000 tokens`, and cap `max_output_tokens <= 400`.
+- **`INV-SKILL-05` (Unwanted Behavior — Harmful or Redundant Skill Detection):** **If** a skill's `with_skill` pass rate in `npx skillops eval` fails to improve over `without_skill` by at least `+15%` (or inflates token usage by `> 25%` without improving pass rate), **then** the evaluation engine **shall** mark the skill verdict as `REJECTED_REGRESSION`.
+
+### Standard CLI Exit Codes (`ExitCode` in `src/models.ts`)
+- `0` (`SUCCESS`): All checks, routing, sync, or evaluations passed.
+- `1` (`ERROR`): General execution or drift error.
+- `2` (`COLLISION_ERROR`): Pairwise semantic collision detected (`--strict`).
+- `3` (`BUDGET_OR_CONTRACT_ERROR`): Progressive disclosure token budget or Startup Token Tax violation (`--strict`).
+- `4` (`EVAL_REGRESSION_ERROR`): Skill evaluation failed `INV-SKILL-05` (`--strict`).
+- `5` (`SECURITY_BOUNDARY_ERROR`): Invalid or unsafe target path.

+# Agent Harness Auditor (`agent-harness-auditor`)
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+Invoke this skill when designing, auditing, or troubleshooting an **AI Agent Harness** (skill libraries, subagent topologies, tool-calling loops) to eliminate **Implicit Routing Collapse (`arXiv:2610.18522`)** and **Skill-Induced Failures (`arXiv:2608.11888`)**.
+
+## Mandatory Execution Workflow
+
+1. **Execute the Harness Linter Script First:**
+   Run the deterministic Python linter against the target agent directory or catalog:
+   ```bash
+   python catalog/ai-engineering/agent-harness-auditor/scripts/harness_linter.py --path catalog --json
+   ```
+2. **Prevent Implicit Routing Collapse (`arXiv:2610.18522`):**
+   - Cap active workspace skills at `<= 12` per repository profile (`npx skillops route`).
+   - Require every skill manifest to declare explicit `routing_signals.negative_triggers` so the router knows when **not** to activate a skill.
+   - Maintain pairwise TF-IDF cosine similarity `< 0.58` across all active L1 descriptions.
+3. **Harden Subagent Isolation & Tool Scoping (`arXiv:2608.11888`):**
+   - Never grant wildcard `tools: ["*"]` to a subagent; enforce least-privilege tool arrays (`Read`, `Grep`, `Glob` for scouts/auditors).
+   - Require `context_isolation: true` and `max_output_tokens <= 400` on every subagent manifest.
+4. **Verify Harness Compliance:**
+   Re-run `harness_linter.py --path catalog --json` and `npx skillops audit --catalog catalog --strict` to confirm zero violations.
