A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Capture non-obvious buy-vs-build decisions as Architecture Decision Records so the reasoning — and the trigger to revisit it — survives the pull request.
Record an ADR when a decision is non-obvious or hard to reverse:
Skip it for obvious, trivial, easily reversible choices. An ADR is a few sentences, not an essay — it mirrors the one-line decision note the rule already produces, just durable and reviewable.
ADRs live in docs/decisions/, numbered sequentially as NNNN-title.md. Use the next free number. Either run the helper:
node scripts/record-decision.js \
--title "Use Server-Sent Events for the live feed" \
--rung native-platform \
--decision "Stream updates with SSE over HTTP." \
--rejected "WebSockets, because the feed is one-way and full-duplex is unused." \
--revisit "the feed needs bidirectional messaging."…or, if no helper is available, create docs/decisions/NNNN-title.md by hand with this shape:
