Summary

  • Removed duplicated "Temporarily Active Hooks" section from SKILL.md (50 lines)
  • Updated patterns.md reference to "10 proven patterns including temporarily active and configuration-driven hooks"
  • Word count reduced from 2,125 → 1,979 words (now within 1,500-2,000 target)

Problem

Fixes #65

The "Temporarily Active Hooks" section in SKILL.md duplicates content from references/patterns.md (Pattern 9: Temporarily Active Hooks and Pattern 10: Configuration-Driven Hooks), violating the skill-development best practice of keeping SKILL.md lean through progressive disclosure.

Solution

Removed the duplicated section and enhanced the reference to patterns.md to explicitly mention the temporarily active and configuration-driven hook patterns.

Alternatives Considered

  • Keep both with cross-reference: Rejected because it still violates the single-source principle
  • Move patterns.md content to SKILL.md: Rejected because patterns.md has more comprehensive examples

Changes

  • plugins/plugin-dev/skills/hook-development/SKILL.md: Removed lines 531-578, updated patterns.md reference

Testing

  • Markdownlint passes
  • Word count verified (2,125 → 1,979)
  • Content verified in patterns.md (Pattern 9 & 10)

…ction

Remove the "Temporarily Active Hooks" section from SKILL.md as it
duplicates content already in references/patterns.md (Pattern 9 and
Pattern 10). This follows the skill-development best practice of
keeping SKILL.md lean by moving detailed content to references files.

Word count reduced from 2,125 to 1,979 words, now within the
1,500-2,000 word target for progressive disclosure.

Summary

Looks good! This PR successfully removes duplicated content while maintaining complete documentation through progressive disclosure.

What's Good

Perfect application of progressive disclosure pattern: The removed section (lines 531-578) duplicated Pattern 9 and Pattern 10 from references/patterns.md. Keeping detailed examples in reference files and a lean SKILL.md is exactly the right approach.

Word count now in target range: Reduced from 2,125 → 1,979 words, within the 1,500-2,000 word target specified in the skill-development guidelines.

Enhanced reference pointer: The updated line 635 now explicitly mentions "10 proven patterns including temporarily active and configuration-driven hooks" - this helps readers discover the detailed content.

Markdown quality: Markdownlint passes with no errors.

Content verified: I confirmed that references/patterns.md contains:

  • Pattern 9: Temporarily Active Hooks (lines 261-299)
  • Pattern 10: Configuration-Driven Hooks (lines 300-347)

Both patterns provide more comprehensive examples than what was removed from SKILL.md, making the reference file the better home for this content.

Checklist Verification

From the PR description:

  • ✅ Markdownlint passes
  • ✅ Word count verified (2,125 → 1,979)
  • ✅ Content verified in patterns.md (Pattern 9 & 10)

Review Against Plugin Component Criteria

Skills structure (SKILL.md):

  • ✅ YAML frontmatter present with name and description
  • ✅ Strong trigger phrases in description
  • ✅ Progressive disclosure maintained (detailed content in references/)
  • ✅ Word count within target range

This change improves the skill by:

  1. Eliminating redundancy between SKILL.md and reference files
  2. Following the single-source principle
  3. Making SKILL.md more scannable as an overview

Recommendation: Approve and merge. This is a clean documentation improvement that follows best practices.
