Matt Pocock 7efc3d2a38 misc: demote to a non-promoted bucket
misc/ skills are no longer installable via the plugin or listed in the
top-level README — they join personal/ as kept-but-unshipped. Only
engineering/ and productivity/ are promoted now.

- Drop the Misc section from the top-level README.
- Reclassify misc/ as non-promoted in CLAUDE.md (README/plugin rule,
  bucket-README grouping rule, docs-page rule) and the writing-docs guide.
- Note the non-promoted status in the misc bucket README.

plugin.json already omitted misc, so no manifest change was needed.
No SKILL.md context pointer referenced a misc skill, so nothing else
had to move.

Skills are organized into bucket folders under skills/:

  • engineering/ — daily code work
  • productivity/ — daily non-code workflow tools
  • misc/ — kept around but rarely used, not promoted
  • personal/ — tied to my own setup, not promoted
  • in-progress/ — drafts not yet ready to ship
  • deprecated/ — no longer used

Every skill in engineering/ or productivity/ (the promoted buckets) must have a reference in the top-level README.md and an entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. Skills in misc/, personal/, in-progress/, and deprecated/ must not appear in either.

Each skill entry in the top-level README.md must link the skill name to its SKILL.md.

Each bucket folder has a README.md that lists every skill in the bucket with a one-line description, with the skill name linked to its SKILL.md. The promoted buckets' README.mds and the top-level README.md group entries into User-invoked and Model-invoked; non-promoted bucket README.mds (misc/, personal/) use a flat list.

Skills in engineering/ and productivity/ also have a human-facing docs page at docs/<bucket>/<skill-name>.md (the docs tree mirrors those two bucket folders under skills/). The published URL is https://aihero.dev/skills-<skill-name> regardless of bucket — the docs path is repo organisation only. When you add, rename, or change the behaviour of a skill in engineering/ or productivity/, create or re-sync its docs page following .agents/writing-docs.md. Skills in the non-promoted buckets (misc/, personal/, in-progress/, deprecated/) get no docs page.

Every SKILL.md is either user-invoked (disable-model-invocation: true, reachable only by the human) or model-invoked (model- or user-reachable). See .agents/invocation.md.

To (re)link every skill into the local harness skill directories (~/.claude/skills, ~/.agents/skills), run scripts/link-skills.sh. Each entry is a symlink into this repo, so a git pull keeps installed skills current; re-run the script after adding, removing, or renaming a skill.
