vitya afb1d1eb96 feat(using-tasks): done-task archival rule, fix STATUS.md bloat (v1.3.0)
MINOR bump 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0. Adds a done-task archival rule: when >=10
green done blocks pile up in STATUS.md (checked at Session start step 7
and Task completion step 7), move them verbatim to
.tasks/archive/YYYY-MM.md (append, monthly file, one-time header,
committed on its own), leaving only active/paused/ready/blocked on the
board. This is the root-cause fix for the recurring "huge STATUS.md"
complaint -- orientation still reads the local board, but the board is
kept small so the read stays cheap.

Deliberately did NOT follow the task's literal instruction to swap
Read STATUS.md for tasks_get_status in the orientation flow: that rests
on a factual error. tasks_get_status returns ONE task's live status by a
known slug and cannot enumerate the board; tasks_aggregate is
cross-project + cache-based and does not index ready/done (its docs say
read STATUS.md directly for the current project). So no projects-meta
tool replaces the orientation board-read. The skill now warns against
both tools for board enumeration and points tasks_get_status at its real
single-task use.

Concept page concepts/using-tasks-status-archival.md + index + log
document the deviation for the paired review task. TDD N/A (markdown
policy). hermes/mapping + install untouched (separate baseline tasks).

Joint workshop and storage for Claude skills.

About

A shared workspace where Claude and I author, debug, and ship skills together:

  • skills/ — editable sources (markdown + assets), the source of truth
  • dist/ — built .skill archives for Claude, committed to the repo
  • hermes/ — Hermes-rollout config: mapping.yaml and any mode: manual overrides under hermes/skills/
  • dist-hermes/ — pre-converted Hermes-flavour skill tree, committed (regenerated by scripts/build-hermes.py)
  • scripts/ — utilities: build.sh (source → .skill), install.sh (source → ~/.claude/skills/), build-hermes.py (source → dist-hermes/)
  • .wiki/, .tasks/ — working notes and the task board

Quick start

Install skills on a fresh machine

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone <repo> claude-skills
cd claude-skills
bash scripts/install.sh           # copies every skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/
# or only specific ones:
bash scripts/install.sh caveman wiki-maintainer

Linux / macOS (bash):

git clone <repo> claude-skills
cd claude-skills
bash scripts/install.sh           # copies every skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/
# or only specific ones:
bash scripts/install.sh caveman wiki-maintainer

The install target can be overridden with CLAUDE_SKILLS_DIR=/path bash scripts/install.sh.

install.sh works on Windows under git-bash. A native install.ps1 is on the task board but not yet implemented.

Using skills in projects

Once the skills are installed, the easiest way to wire them into a new (or existing) project is the project-bootstrap skill. Tell the agent "bootstrap" or "set everything up" from the project's folder and it will, in one pass:

  • initialize git (if missing) and write a sane .gitignore
  • create a starter README.md
  • lay out .wiki/ per the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern (delegated to setup-wiki)
  • lay out .tasks/ with the canonical task board (delegated to setup-tasks)
  • write CLAUDE.md with skill triggers (use superpowers, use project wiki, use task management system, check across all projects, we're on Windows)
  • record the skill versions used in .wiki/concepts/bootstrap-manifest.md so cross-project layout drift stays debuggable
  • check whether the official superpowers@claude-plugins-official plugin is installed and, if not, print the install command — the use superpowers trigger is a no-op without it

Two modes, picked automatically: init for an empty folder, upgrade for an existing project (the skill only fills the gaps and never overwrites without explicit confirmation). On upgrade, CLAUDE.md is merged idempotently — only canonical trigger lines that aren't already present are appended after explicit confirm, so re-running project-bootstrap after a template change picks up the new triggers without duplicating the old ones.

Edit a skill

# 1. Edit skills/<name>/SKILL.md (or its assets).
# 2. Push the changes into the live skill folder:
bash scripts/install.sh <name>
# 3. Rebuild the archive (optional, but handy before a commit):
bash scripts/build.sh <name>

Build .skill archives

bash scripts/build.sh                 # all skills
bash scripts/build.sh caveman         # one skill

build.sh uses zip when it's available (Linux/macOS) or delegates to scripts/build.ps1 via PowerShell (Windows without zip). On Windows you can also run powershell scripts/build.ps1 directly.

Build for Hermes

The same skills/ are rolled out to Hermes Agent (Nous Research) on factory Linux machines. The converter reads hermes/mapping.yaml (per-skill mode / category / replace-rules / skip-list) and writes a Hermes-formatted skill tree to dist-hermes/, which is committed to the repo.

python scripts/build-hermes.py        # regenerate dist-hermes/ from mapping

Every skill in skills/ must have an explicit entry in mapping.yaml (auto / manual / skip / pending); the build fails on unmapped skills. Skip and pending entries land in dist-hermes/SKIPPED.md with reasons. Full design rationale lives in .wiki/concepts/hermes-skills-rollout-design.md.
