The attempt-mode guide predates crates/explain and stopped at the ROI
report. It now names the post-verdict step: run just explain on every
rejection before forming the next hypothesis — below-bar, null, and
regression are three different next moves the verdict string alone does
not distinguish. Advisory framing preserved (quote the record, not the
inferences). Mirror regenerated.
Verify mode needs nothing: consumer repos have no ledger, and its
read-it-honestly table already encodes the same narrative doctrine.

The SKILL.md Agent Skills standard (agentskills.io) is now read natively by
Codex, Copilot, VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, opencode, Goose, Amp, Zed,
Factory, and ZeroClaw — so the portable move is not per-harness adapter
files (forked content that drifts) but one canonical skill placed where
each harness actually looks.
- Spec-compliant frontmatter: license, compatibility (the Linux-only
measurement story, stated up front), version/author/tags top-level
(ZeroClaw's runtime reads those; the spec ignores unknown fields).
reference/ renamed to references/ per the spec's conventional layout.
- .agents/skills/peltier/ mirror: the cross-tool convergence path (Codex,
Zed, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, opencode, Goose, Amp). Byte-identical
to the .claude canonical, enforced by CI — drift between the two copies
is a red build, not a footnote.
- AGENTS.md at the repo root for the ~20 harnesses that read it (Claude
Code does not; CLAUDE.md remains its file). Deliberately thin: it points
at CLAUDE.md and the skill instead of restating rules.
- scripts/install-skill.sh: stamps a consumer repo at both discovery paths
(--layout claude|agents|both), or emits a script-less --zeroclaw-variant.
ZeroClaw's skill security policy blocks script files by default
(skills.allow_scripts off) — its audit rejected the full skill and passes
the variant, verified against the real zeroclaw binary. The variant loses
nothing: preflight.sh still exists exactly once, in the peltier checkout
the skill already requires, and SKILL.md now documents running it from
there. Re-implementing preflight inline is named as a refusal condition.
- CI (skill-preflight): frontmatter upgraded to a full Agent Skills spec
conformance check on BOTH copies (name rules, dir match, description and
body limits, metadata string-map), plus mirror equality and a functional
installer test (both layouts identical to canonical, variant carries no
scripts/, nonexistent target refused).
