Pull request overview

Updates contributor/agent guidance in AGENTS.md to improve how skill execution is documented and kept up-to-date as gaps are discovered.

Changes:

  • Adds an “Always” boundary instructing agents to update skill documentation when they find deviations, missing info, unclear guidance, or better approaches mid-execution.

- Follow workflow phases in order
- Batch edits; keep sbt runs scoped to one project
- Update AGENTS.md if you find errors or gaps
- In the middle of executing a skill, if you discover a deviation from the skill's instructions, encounter missing information or unclear guidance, or discover a better approach than what was written, update that skill file to reflect what you learned.

This bullet introduces the term “skill” / “skill file”, but AGENTS.md doesn’t define what a skill is or where its file lives. To avoid ambiguity for new contributors, consider adding a short clarification (e.g., that skills are the .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md files) and wrapping the long sentence for readability.

Suggested change
- In the middle of executing a skill, if you discover a deviation from the skill's instructions, encounter missing information or unclear guidance, or discover a better approach than what was written, update that skill file to reflect what you learned.
- In the middle of executing a skill (a `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` file), if you discover a deviation from the
skill's instructions, encounter missing information or unclear guidance, or discover a better approach than what was written,
update that skill file to reflect what you learned.
