Summary

This refactor addresses issues where skills that should invoke other skills often skip those invocations. The changes make skill delegation mandatory and impossible to miss.

Changes

Stronger delegation patterns

  • Add "Skill Dependencies (MANDATORY)" tables at top of run-tutorial and validate skills
  • Use explicit >>> STOP. INVOKE /skill NOW. checkpoint blocks (5 total)
  • Replace passive "Use Skill tool with..." language with imperative commands

Reduced verbosity

Skill Before After Change
run-tutorial 408 lines 214 lines -48%
validate 249 lines 194 lines -22%
find-todos 131 lines 123 lines -6%
test-example 121 lines 114 lines -6%

New reference files

  • run-tutorial/references/acceptable-differences.md: What to flag vs ignore in output comparisons
  • run-tutorial/references/pr-workflow.md: PR creation workflow (extracted from Phase 4)
  • shared/repo-conventions.md: Directory mapping used by 4 skills

New skill

  • check-inline-code: Review inline code formatting (cherry-picked from feature branch)

Preserved content

All critical assertions and checks are preserved:

Test plan

  • Run /validate on a lesson and verify it invokes /check-highlights and /check-inline-code
  • Run /run-tutorial and verify it invokes /validate, /docker-setup, and /test-example at appropriate checkpoints

Refactor Claude skills for better delegation and reduced verbosity
1fd10ad 
This refactor addresses issues where skills that should invoke other
skills often skip those invocations. Key changes:

**Stronger delegation patterns:**
- Add "Skill Dependencies (MANDATORY)" tables at top of skills
- Use explicit ">>> STOP. INVOKE /skill NOW." checkpoint blocks
- Replace passive "Use Skill tool with..." language with imperative commands

**Reduced verbosity:**
- run-tutorial: 408 → 214 lines (-48%)
- validate: 249 → 194 lines (-22%)
- Extract detailed content to reference files

**New reference files:**
- run-tutorial/references/acceptable-differences.md: What to flag vs ignore
- run-tutorial/references/pr-workflow.md: PR creation workflow
- shared/repo-conventions.md: Directory mapping used by multiple skills

All critical assertions and checks are preserved, either inline or in
reference files. Writing style checks from PR #774 are maintained.

Add check-inline-code skill
3e7725d 
Cherry-picked from 2e20c89 (PR #781).

Review inline code in markdown files for proper formatting and syntax
highlighting. Checks for missing backticks on CLI flags, filenames, and
code elements, and verifies appropriate use of inline syntax highlighting.

@pinin4fjords @claude
Exclude .claude/skills/ from prettier formatting
310e00c 
Skills files use compact markdown tables for readability in the context
window. Prettier reformats these tables which reduces scannability.
