- Rewrite SKILL.md with inline instructions to spawn g3 --agent scout directly
- Extend read_file to handle embedded skill paths (<embedded:name>/SKILL.md)
- Remove scripts field from EmbeddedSkill struct (no longer needed)
- Delete extraction.rs module (was only for script extraction)
- Delete g3-research bash script
- Remove obsolete Async Research Tool section from workspace memory
Skills are now fully portable - they work when g3 is installed as a
binary without access to source files. Agents can read embedded skill
content via read_file with the special <embedded:...> path syntax.
- Remove is_embedded_skill() from discovery.rs (unused)
- Remove get_embedded_skills_map() from embedded.rs (unused)
- Remove associated tests for deleted functions
- Inline path check in test_repo_overrides_embedded test
This eliminates dead code warnings and reduces module surface area
without changing any behavior.
Agent: fowler
Replaces the built-in research/research_status tools with a portable
skill-based approach:
- Add embedded skills infrastructure (skills compiled into binary)
- Add repo-local skills/ directory support (highest priority)
- Create research skill with SKILL.md and g3-research shell script
- Script extraction to .g3/bin/ with version tracking
- Filesystem-based handoff via .g3/research/<id>/status.json
- Remove PendingResearchManager and all research tool code
- Update system prompt to reference skill instead of tool
Benefits:
- No special tool infrastructure needed (just shell + read_file)
- Context-efficient (reports stay on disk until needed)
- Crash-resilient (state persisted to filesystem)
- Portable (skill can be overridden per-workspace)
Breaking change: research tool calls now return a deprecation message
pointing to the research skill.
Implements the Agent Skills specification (https://agentskills.io) for
portable skill packages that give the agent new capabilities.
Changes:
- Add skills module with SKILL.md parser (YAML frontmatter + markdown body)
- Implement skill discovery from ~/.g3/skills/, config extra_paths, and .g3/skills/
- Generate <available_skills> XML for system prompt injection
- Add SkillsConfig to g3-config with enabled flag and extra_paths
- Wire skills discovery into CLI startup
- Add 29 unit tests for parser, discovery, and prompt generation
- Update README with Agent Skills documentation
Skill locations (priority order):
1. ~/.g3/skills/ (global)
2. Config extra_paths
3. .g3/skills/ (workspace, highest priority)
At startup, g3 scans skill directories and injects a summary into the
system prompt. When the agent needs a skill, it reads the full SKILL.md
using the read_file tool.
