Kevin Veen-BirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 3c2f6c44b5 refactor(skills): cap every SKILL.md at 600 words and cut agent messages
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.

Worktrees

Inventory

Per worktree: size (du -sh), dirty state (git status --short), whether its branch is pushed, and whether its HEAD is already contained in an integration line: the default branch and every branch the project merges features into (ask the operator or the project's memory which ones). With pkgmgr installed, pkgmgr branch gc --json --sizes --merged-into <line> (one per line) measures all of it; its merged-clean items go to the kvb-git-branch-gc skill.

A clean worktree whose HEAD is in an integration line is medium risk: its ignored files (node_modules, build output, evidence) are lost, no commit.

Removal

Remove a worktree the way it was made: a slot worktree through the project's teardown target (e.g. make worktree-down), run outside the sandbox; a plain sidetree through git worktree remove without --force, which refuses a dirty tree.
