feat(using-system-snapshot): new skill v0.1.0

Thin read-only skill wrapping the single meta_system_snapshot MCP call
(poller status + local docker + cached cross-project task summary).
Replaces the scatter of tasklist / docker ps / manual meta_status.

Core rule: no claim about poller / local-docker / task-load state
without calling the tool in the current turn. Output = three lines,
one per section (docker lists only problem containers; tasks gives
Sigma active/blocked + busiest 2-3 projects). Liveness split documented
(poller+docker live, tasks from cache). Scope boundaries: deep single-
container diagnosis -> using-vds-ops / docker logs; precise per-task work
-> using-projects-meta. Read-only, no per-session grant.

Output shape verified by a live snapshot call 2026-06-09.
Wiki: concepts/using-system-snapshot-design.md + index + log.
TDD N/A (markdown policy artifact); behavioral smoke-test = paired
skill-using-system-snapshot-review task.

# using-system-snapshot skill design
New policy+technique skill (v0.1.0) wrapping the single MCP call
`mcp__projects-meta__meta_system_snapshot`. Replaces the old scatter of
`tasklist` + `docker ps` + a manual `meta_status` read with one round-trip for
session-start ops orientation.
## Why a skill
The failure mode it guards: an agent asserts "the poller is running" / "all
containers are up" / "you have N active tasks" from memory or a stale earlier
snapshot, without re-checking. The skill makes the rule explicit — **no claim
about poller / local-docker / task-load state without calling the tool in the
current turn**. Mirrors the read-only, no-grant posture of [[using-vds-ops]].
## Tool output shape (verified live 2026-06-09)
Three keys:
- `poller`: `{ running: bool, projects: "<owner/repo …>" }`**live**.
- `docker`: `[{ name, status }]`**local** machine containers (includes
`agents-task-runner-*`), NOT the VDS. Status strings like `Up 4 hours`,
`Up 26 hours (healthy)`; problems show as `Restarting` / `Exited` /
`(unhealthy)` / `Created` / `Paused`. **live**.
- `tasks`: `{ "<owner>/<repo>": { active, blocked } }` — **from the
projects-meta cache**, so approximate.
## Design decisions
- **Output = three lines, one per section** (per task spec). Docker line reports
`N/N up` when all healthy, else lists only the bad containers; tasks line gives
Σ active / Σ blocked + the busiest 23 projects. Never dump raw JSON.
- **Liveness split made explicit.** Poller + docker are read at call time; task
counts come from the cache. The skill tells the agent to flag task-count
staleness and defer precise per-task work to [[projects-meta-skills]]
(`using-projects-meta` Step 0 freshness gate, or local `.tasks/` on disk).
- **Scope boundaries.** Deep single-container diagnosis (logs/inspect/stats) is
explicitly out — that's [[using-vds-ops]] for the VDS or `docker logs`
locally. The snapshot only carries name + status.
- **Read-only, no per-session grant** — same as [[using-vds-ops]]. The tool
takes no args; no preview/confirm dance (unlike the projects-meta mutations).
## Prerequisites
Needs `mcp__projects-meta__meta_system_snapshot` (shipped by `projects-meta-mcp`;
the `meta-system-snapshot` capability lives in `OpeItcLoc03/common`). If the tool
is absent, the server isn't registered → `setup-projects-meta`.
## TDD note
Markdown policy artifact — no code/test surface (consistent with sibling skill
tasks). Behavioral trigger smoke-test is the paired `skill-using-system-snapshot-review`
task, not this implementation task.
