session-inbox-monitor-hermes-mapping -> done: added to hermes/mapping.yaml
pending section, mode:pending + intended {auto, productivity} (mirrors the
session-handoff sibling). Reason cites the settings.json mutation, the OS
process kills, and the Windows-PowerShell hook needing a Linux port for Hermes.
Schema version untouched (schema, not content). YAML validated (32 skills).
session-inbox-monitor-install -> done: install.ps1 -Names session-inbox-monitor,
byte-identical (diff 0), v0.2.1; activation confirmed live this session (harness
picked the skill into available-skills with full description, no /reload-plugins).

Closes session-inbox-monitor-stophook-utf8-fix. Cyrillic message bodies arrived
as mojibake when force-delivered via the Stop-hook block reason.
Root cause: ~/.claude/hooks/stop-dispatcher.ps1 reads bodies with -Encoding UTF8
(fine) but did NOT set [Console]::OutputEncoding, so ConvertTo-Json to stdout
under a harness-spawned redirected pipe (WinPS 5.1) emitted in OEM cp866.
Fix applied to the machine-local hook (not in git): set
[Console]::OutputEncoding/$OutputEncoding = UTF8 at the top. In-situ RED->GREEN
verified through the real Stop-hook path: a Cyrillic pangram that previously came
back as mojibake now delivers clean; no-loop holds.
Repo changes: SKILL.md Failure modes documents the encoding contract for inbox
writers (no-BOM UTF-8 LF; WriteAllText, not Set-Content -Encoding utf8 which BOMs
under 5.1); bump 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1 PATCH. stop-dispatcher.ps1 multi-machine
propagation is the workshop setup's concern (notified).

session-inbox-monitor-stophook-blockfix-proof -> done. Live proof: planted a
self-test message in .claude-inbox/, ended the turn, and the Stop hook force-
re-invoked the session with the message as a decision:block reason (no user
Enter). No-loop confirmed (inbox empty after delivery, message in .read/). The
live Monitor also paged the same file end-to-end.
Finding (orthogonal to the block mechanism, independently confirmed by workshop):
Cyrillic message bodies arrive as mojibake on inject. On-disk file is clean
UTF-8; stop-dispatcher.ps1 reads with -Encoding UTF8 (line 44) but does NOT set
[Console]::OutputEncoding, so ConvertTo-Json to stdout under harness-spawn
(WinPS 5.1, redirected pipe) encodes as OEM cp866. Start-Process repro does not
reproduce (inherits UTF-8) -> harness-spawn-specific, in-situ verify only.

Core content task of the session-inbox-monitor line. Two deliverables:
1. SessionStart hook `skills/session-inbox-monitor/hooks/inbox-monitor.ps1`
(versioned for multi-machine rollout; deployed to ~/.claude/hooks/ and
registered in ~/.claude/settings.json SessionStart):
- sweep: Get-CimInstance | Stop-Process orphaned monitors of THIS inbox,
matched by sentinel CLAUDE_INBOX_MONITOR + inbox path (a /clear leaves
the poll process alive -> re-raise without sweep stacks duplicates);
- inject: hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext with the exact persistent
Monitor command (Monitor tool, not background Bash);
- opt-in gate: fires only on .claude-inbox/ dir or CLAUDE.md trigger line.
ASCII-only (em-dash -> mojibake under WinPS 5.1 without BOM, fixed).
2. SKILL.md body filled (When to use / Inputs / Steps / Deployment /
Failure modes / Side effects / What NOT to do); bump 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 MINOR.
Headless: no hook-level signal exists (verified via claude-code-guide) ->
agent-side best-effort skip, default errs toward raising (false-skip in
interactive loses the feature; false-raise in headless is a harmless no-op).
Live-verified: inject -> valid JSON; sweep -> killed a planted orphan (PASS);
real Monitor tool spawns a bash process carrying the sentinel (sweep will
find real orphans); settings.json stays valid. Sweep over-match edge and
multi-session-per-project limit documented honestly in Failure modes.
Closes [session-inbox-monitor-sessionstart-hook].

Live clean-session run (this session did NOT install the skill). Probe
confirmed subagents inherit the REAL installed registry (task-loop present,
description verbatim = SKILL.md) — upgrade over dev-time simulated proxy.
Trigger-discrimination: positives 6/6 -> task-loop; negatives clean
(delegate-task, using-tasks after deconfound, configure-poller -> none with
explicit task-loop exclusion); task-loop false-positive 0/3.
Behavioral (skill body loaded) 4/4: consult-gate human-only -> STOP before
close; session_break -> SESSION BOUNDARY + STOP; empty -> stop+report no poll;
long-watch -> single ScheduleWakeup >=1200s, not CronCreate.
Finding (informational, non-blocking): session_break is the fragile gate — its
STOP semantics live only in the body (step 6), invert to soft-checkpoint when
reasoning from description alone; correct with body loaded. No fix needed
(rule triple-stated; using-tasks is REQUIRED SUB-SKILL). No follow-up filed.
All 3 task-loop deployment baselines (install / hermes-mapping / test-trigger)
now closed.

task-loop orchestrates the projects-meta board cycle (tasks_claim_next /
tasks_close / tasks_update / tasks_heartbeat) and may arm a long ScheduleWakeup —
critical-infra-adjacent, so it lands in the behavioral-audit pending tier, not auto.
Promotion to auto gated on task-loop-test-trigger. Schema version untouched.
Closes [task-loop-hermes-mapping] (baseline 2/3).

install.ps1 -Names task-loop → ~/.claude/skills/task-loop/SKILL.md (diff-identical to
source, v0.1.0). Post-/reload-plugins task-loop appears in available-skills with full
description (YAML parsed, RU/EN triggers present). Unblocks task-loop-test-trigger
(🔵→⚪ ready, needs clean session for live behavioral run).

Skill-review checkpoint for meta-host-routing v0.3.0 (non-implementer).
Behavioral smoke-test 8/8 via clean-context subagents: 5/5 positive
trigger phrases (RU+EN) route to meta-host-routing, 3/3 negatives routed
away (using-projects-meta / delegate-task[Skip-clause] / using-tasks).
Zero false positives. Steps verified against live infra: yt-tools resolves
to dedicated host OpeItcLoc03/meta-yt-tools (projects-meta tracks it),
.common grep returns hits, excludesFile + ~/.config/git/ignore + auth.toml
present. Failure modes -> STOP+ask; What-NOT-to-do accurate. No blocking
findings on the skill.
Observation (not a skill defect): the review-task acceptance criterion
'resolves .common' is stale — skill v0.3.0 and reality route yt-tools to
the dedicated meta-yt-tools host; .common now holds only the done-archive.
Caveat: -install and -hermes-mapping baselines remain open (skill not in
~/.claude/skills nor hermes/mapping.yaml); this review covers content +
trigger discrimination only, not live-harness activation.

Public reference for the on-disk .tasks/STATUS.md block format the autonomous
poller parses: header regex, status emoji, and the **Weight:** / **Notify:** /
**Requirements:** fields. Ships with factory where the internal wiki and MCP
source can't reach. Distinct from delegate-task (MCP-tool delegation) and
using-tasks (board mechanics).
Authored via superpowers:writing-skills TDD:
- RED: 3 baseline subagents w/o skill — 2/3 used ###/bullet headers the parser
cannot recognize as a task, 2/3 omitted **Weight:** (invented risk/tier/
claimable-by), 2/3 put notify in prose, 1/3 used 🟢 for a ready task.
- GREEN: 2 fresh subagents w/ skill — both parser-valid, incl. correct
**Weight:** needs-human for the critical-infra scenario.
- REFACTOR: no new format loopholes.
Ground truth verified vs live source (status-md.ts parser, claim.ts gate,
fleet-router.js routing): missing Weight finds no backend tier -> poller parks
to blocked, so Weight is operatively required for pickup.
Closes [create-task-format-for-poller-skill]. Install to ~/.claude/skills +
hermes mapping deferred as follow-up.

needs-human keep-or-drop on the markitdown MCP tool + cross-cutting edit to
user-global ~/.claude.json. Verified live state (mcpServers.markitdown present,
container respawned, image 1.52GB) then called consult before mutating; returned
status:halt (consult_policy=human-only). Checkpointed without guessing past the
halt: board block → blocked, added per-task file with resume brief + decision
trail. No config/containers/image touched.

Reviewed the MCP→CLI rewrite of skills/using-markitdown/SKILL.md.
Acceptance (3/3) + 2 bonus checks, all green:
- No mcp__markitdown__ in SKILL.md (grep 0; only 2 negative "Docker"
mentions explaining the old mount caveat no longer applies).
- CLI examples correct: markitdown 0.1.6 on PATH; -o/-x/-m/stdin flags
match `markitdown --help` verbatim.
- Version bumped 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 (PATCH).
- dist/using-markitdown.skill consistent (v1.0.1, no mcp refs).
Informational finding (non-blocking): at review time `docker ps` shows a
markitdown-mcp:latest container respawned from the out-of-scope
mcpServers.markitdown registration in ~/.claude.json. The impl removed the
existing containers correctly and flagged this respawn in the concept page.
Filed follow-up [using-markitdown-mcp-deregister] (needs-human: keep-or-drop
decision on the MCP registration).
