description: >

Propose description rewrites to resolve skill collisions. Given a collision pair

from a gardener audit, reads both skills' descriptions, generates before/after

rewrites with negative discriminators, and writes a proposal Markdown the user

applies manually. Uses current Claude prompting discipline: positive imperatives,

motivation clauses, scope explicit. Use when the user asks to fix a collision,

rewrite a description, disambiguate two skills, or mentions resolving a

gardener-flagged pair.

arguments:

- name: pair

description: "Collision pair as `skill-a,skill-b` (e.g., 'research,internal-research') or a single skill name to rewrite against siblings."

required: true

context: fork

user_facing: true

Rewrite descriptions

Given a collision pair, produce a concrete description rewrite proposal for each side. The output is a Markdown file with before/after blocks the user copies into the SKILL.md files manually.

Inputs

{{ pair }} — either skill-a,skill-b or a single skill name. If single, read plugin-gardener/audit/ for the latest collisions.md and pick the top unresolved collision involving that skill.

How it works

Resolve each skill path. Read both SKILL.md files and capture the current description + optional when_to_use.
Apply the rewriting patterns in references/rewriting-patterns.md. Every rewrite must:

Keep each description under 1,024 characters (hard Anthropic cap).
Combined description + when_to_use under 1,536 characters (skill listing cap).
Add a negative discriminator on each side that points at the other: Do NOT use when the user mentions [sibling-domain-term].
Use third-person voice, positive imperatives, one motivation clause where non-obvious.
Preserve the Use when the user asks to … clause structure if it was already there.

Write plugin-gardener/audit/ad-hoc/rewrite-<skill-a>-vs-<skill-b>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md using templates/proposal-skeleton.md.
Present the proposal inline so the user can copy-paste without opening the file.

What this does not do

Edit SKILL.md.
Commit changes.
Regenerate SKILL.md bodies. Description-only changes; the skill content is untouched.

The user applies the rewrite manually. After applying, invoke /audit-skill <name> on both sides to confirm the collision is resolved.
