The skill listing stood at 1498 of 1500 words; the trimmed descriptions bring it to 1420, so the new kvb-check-ansible description fits without pushing others out.

One pass before every commit or stage request: step 1 deletes added comments (docstrings and headers included), step 2 forbids defaults with defaults.py and defaults.md, step 3 applies the kvb-check-principles lenses, now with KISS/YAGNI, fail fast and coupling, to the touched units. commit-no-verify and commit-next run it; references, the test path and the README map follow. defaults.py rewords two texts that MEDUSA flagged as SQL injection and env exposure signatures.

Every skill that posted to news.py now uses radio.py post, every SendMessage to a peer who must act becomes radio.py send direct --wake (which prints the SendMessage fallback for sessions without a listener), and every request for the chair's grant becomes queue.py hold. kvb-check-gate wraps gate.py run in queue.py hold; the operator sweep is one broadcast without a wake.

Every loaded SKILL.md and every listed description is paid on every turn of every session, and every delivered message costs its recipient a full turn. scripts/budget.py gains SKILL_WORDS = 600, enforced by test_lock, and test_naming forbids a skill naming its own slash command; 53 descriptions and 10 body lines drop it. The 18 longest skills move details into 31 side files read only in their situation (organize's capacity, succession, peers, offices, relay and lineage; cleanup's docker, worktrees, execute and ask; code-tune, changelog, triage, dream, split and others), so all SKILL.md files shrink from 33866 to 26291 words without dropping a rule; an independent review of HEAD against the new text found no loss in 60 of 64 skills and three weakenings, now restored (WSJF re-estimates after an objective change, cleanup's volume checklist, essence's absolute dates).
The kvb-org-organize Peer protocol sends status that asks nothing to the news board, answers nothing that asks nothing, keeps messages terse, and lets light runs admit themselves in the operator's wording; the skills follow it (operator reads the register, relax and wakeup reply through the news, evening collects them there, wsjf asks only for missing estimates, cleanup and triage batch their questions). Skills that explore code ask the codebase-memory-mcp graph first, subagent briefs scale with the stakes and cap their answers, and the skills that need the full register or council tables call show --wide or list --long.

kvb-skill-compile finds the steps of a skill whose result follows from its inputs alone (fixed command sequences, parsing, counting, thresholds, format checks, bookkeeping) and turns them into tested scripts in the repository that owns the skill: skills/<skill>/scripts/ with a test under tests/ in the skills repository, that repository's own convention elsewhere, and an upstream proposal for third-party skills. The prose shrinks to the call. Wired into kvb-skill-tune (finding and shape option), kvb-skill-dream step 7, kvb-skill-auto, kvb-skill-transcend and kvb-skill-essence. Four descriptions are trimmed to stay inside the 1300-word listing budget.
