An A/B of 30 sessions per version on claude-opus-5-5 passed 30/30 before and 30/30 after (29/30 with no skill), with 10% fewer tokens per session. Adapted from nicobailon/skill-diet at 5f41df1 (MIT; NOTICE.md). Plan approved by Garry, 2026-10-27: "A1, B1, C1 D1 E1" and "Rec". + +### Added +- **`/write-skill`**: three modes. New writes a skill from a request; change adds a lesson by editing the line it belongs to rather than appending a paragraph; diet produces a free report first (size bill, drift findings, suggested level moves), then eval tasks written before any cut, then the cut and a before, after and no-skill eval. It works on your own skill folders, never edits an installed gstack skill in place (it points at the checkout's template or a copy you own), and asks for a `Skill-Size: → bytes` line in the commit. Not `/skillify`, which codifies a browser scrape. +- **`gstack-skill-bill [--json]`**: bytes and estimated tokens for a skill's description, template, render and on-demand files, the last `Skill-Diet:` commit and the growth since, `DUE` past 10%, and `baseline: unknown` on shallow or non-git folders. In a gstack checkout it also names the skill's eval task file and checks it against the contract (`EVAL TASKS:`, `EVAL_TASKS_INVALID`). Errors carry stable codes and a fix line (`SKILL_NOT_FOUND` with the closest names, `SKILL_AMBIGUOUS`, `SKILL_MD_MISSING`, `RENDER_STALE`). +- **Skill-to-bin drift ratchet** (`scripts/skill-bin-drift.ts`, `test/skill-bin-drift.test.ts`): every gstack bin call in templates, carved sections and the Claude-host render must name a bin that exists and flags its parser accepts, or the free suite fails with `DRIFT_UNKNOWN_BIN` or `DRIFT_UNKNOWN_FLAG` at file:line. Today: 1,751 calls to 105 bins, one allowlisted false positive, and an allowlist that can only shrink. It also lists bins with permissive parsers or no usage text as the help backlog. +- **`docs/designs/SKILL_EVAL_CONTRACT.md`**: the interface the shared skill eval implements (arms, task format, verdict file, exit codes, the per-task verdict policy). Task files live at `test/fixtures/skill-evals//tasks.json`, and a free test holds them to the format. +- **`gstack-learnings-search --stats`** replaces the stats program /learn used to carry inline, and both learnings bins answer `--help`. + +### Changed +- **/learn** reads as one mode table over the learnings bins, with the prune rules kept. Prune asks remove, keep or update for each flagged entry, and only a request that already names the action counts as the answer. +- **Budgets:** the skill catalog cap rises from 1,359 to 1,393 bytes for the `/write-skill` row; the always-on context ceiling from 7,880 to 7,985 tokens; /learn's eager ceiling drops from 2,931 to 2,124. + +### Fixed +- **`gstack-learnings-search --cross-project`** no longer drops every project when the state root path contains the current project's slug. +- **The learnings bins refuse bad input.** An unknown flag, a flag without its value, or a `--limit` that is not a positive integer exits 2 with the valid flags named, before any state is read or written; before, unknown flags were silently skipped.
