* refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 skills to optional, github six-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR+nano-pdf, channel-gated teams pipeline

Maintainer-directed shipped-skills curation (skills index 1,900 -> ~1,400
tok/call on desktop; every session pays the index, so this is a per-call
diet on all installs):

- optional-skills moves (installable via skills hub, history preserved):
  creative comfyui/ascii-art/excalidraw/pretext/sketch/touchdesigner-mcp;
  ALL of mlops (huggingface-hub, llama-cpp, serving-llms-vllm,
  weights-and-biases, evaluating-llms-harness — subcategory structure
  kept); research-paper-writing (55 supporting files, 17.3K-tok load);
  openhue; blogwatcher (first taught the cronjob monitor-field watch
  pattern + web_extract instead of pre-cron manual workflows)
- DELETED session-librarian (Aug-12 'inspired by Perplexity Computer'
  port, never maintainer-intended; session_search covers discovery)
- github: six skills (auth, issues, pr-workflow, issue-to-pr,
  code-review, repo-management) merged into ONE software-development/
  github skill — routing body + complete per-workflow references;
  benbarclay authorship credited; codebase-inspection rides along;
  discipline pins from test_github_issue_to_pr_skill.py preserved
  against the reference body in the new test_github_skill.py
- pdf absorbs ocr-and-documents + nano-pdf as references/ + scripts
  (extract_pymupdf, extract_marker converted to the argparse house
  standard its contract test enforces)
- NEW session_platforms frontmatter gate (metadata.hermes): hides a
  skill from the index on gateway channels it is not for; fail-open on
  unknown platform; teams-meeting-pipeline gated to [teams, cron]
- blocked-page-recovery: research -> new web category; trigger-first
  description ('Use when a fetch fails: 403/429, paywall, WAF, bot
  wall.') so the model actually reaches for it on blocked fetches
- docs regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (195 pages); related_skills
  swept repo-wide; tests: 1672 passed (2 openclaw failures pre-existing
  on clean main, Windows-local)

* chore: ignore .skills_prompt_snapshot.json (local index cache, accidentally committed)

GitHub

Work GitHub end to end with the gh CLI (REST fallback where noted): auth, issues, the PR lifecycle, issue-to-PR delivery, code review, and repo management. This skill consolidates six former skills; each workflow lives complete in its reference file — ALWAYS read the matching reference before starting that workflow, the body below only routes.

Routing

Task Read first
Auth broken / new machine / token or SSH setup / gh login references/auth.md
Create, triage, label, assign, close issues references/issues.md
Branch, commit, open PR, watch CI, merge references/pr-workflow.md
Carry an ISSUE to a verified PR (full delivery loop) references/issue-to-pr.md
Review someone's PR: diffs, inline comments, verdict references/code-review.md
Clone/create/fork repos, remotes, releases references/repo-management.md

Supporting assets: scripts/gh-env.sh + scripts/git-credential-token.py (auth helpers), templates/ (PR bodies, bug report, feature request), references/ci-troubleshooting.md, references/conventional-commits.md, references/github-api-cheatsheet.md, references/review-output-template.md.

Core discipline (applies to every workflow)

  • Preflight once per session: gh auth status — if it fails, go to references/auth.md before anything else.
  • Prefer gh over raw REST; drop to gh api only for endpoints the porcelain lacks (the cheatsheet lists them).
  • Never report CI green without checking gh pr checks yourself; never claim merged without verifying state,mergedAt.
  • Read full context before writing: gh issue view --comments / gh pr view --comments — decisions live in threads, not titles.
  • Sweep for duplicates before creating anything: gh pr list --search / gh issue list --search.

Verification

  • The workflow's own reference file defines done for that task.
  • Cross-cutting: every claim about remote state (CI, merge, release, issue state) is backed by a fresh gh read, never memory.
