Completes the Windows-gating coverage for the built-in skills/ tree. Every
bundled SKILL.md now carries an explicit platforms: declaration so the
loader (agent.skill_utils.skill_matches_platform) can skip-load skills
that don't fit the current OS.
74 skills declared cross-platform (platforms: [linux, macos, windows]):
Creative (16): ascii-art, ascii-video, architecture-diagram, baoyu-comic,
baoyu-infographic, claude-design, creative-ideation, design-md,
excalidraw, humanizer, manim-video, p5js, pixel-art,
popular-web-designs, pretext, sketch, songwriting-and-ai-music,
touchdesigner-mcp
Autonomous agents: claude-code, codex, hermes-agent, opencode
Data/devops: jupyter-live-kernel, kanban-orchestrator, kanban-worker,
webhook-subscriptions, dogfood, codebase-inspection
GitHub: github-auth, github-code-review, github-issues,
github-pr-workflow, github-repo-management
Media: gif-search, heartmula, songsee, spotify, youtube-content
MCP / email / gaming / notes / smart-home: native-mcp, himalaya,
pokemon-player, obsidian, openhue
mlops (non-broken): weights-and-biases, huggingface-hub, llama-cpp,
outlines, segment-anything-model, dspy, trl-fine-tuning
Productivity: airtable, google-workspace, linear, maps, nano-pdf,
notion, ocr-and-documents, powerpoint
Red-teaming / research: godmode, arxiv, blogwatcher, llm-wiki,
polymarket
Software-dev: debugging-hermes-tui-commands, hermes-agent-skill-authoring,
node-inspect-debugger, plan, requesting-code-review, spike,
subagent-driven-development, systematic-debugging,
test-driven-development, writing-plans

5 skills gated from Windows (platforms: [linux, macos]):
mlops/inference/vllm (serving-llms-vllm)
vLLM is officially Linux-only; Windows requires WSL.
mlops/training/axolotl
Axolotl's flash-attn + deepspeed + bitsandbytes stack is Linux-first.
mlops/training/unsloth
Requires Triton + xformers + flash-attn — Linux only in practice.
mlops/models/audiocraft (audiocraft-audio-generation)
torchaudio ffmpeg backend + encodec dependencies are Linux-first.
mlops/inference/obliteratus
Research abliteration workflow; relies on Linux-focused pytorch
kernels and MLX — no first-class Windows path.
Same strict-over-lenient policy as the optional-skills sweep: when the
underlying tool's Windows support is rough, missing, or WSL-only, gate the
skill. Easier to un-gate after verified Windows support lands than to leak
partial support that manifests as mid-task failures.
Combined with prior commits in this branch, every bundled SKILL.md
(skills/ + optional-skills/) now has a platforms: declaration.
Target: every skill's description fits in a one-line gateway menu and
leads with trigger keywords an agent would match on. Drops filler like
'Use this skill to', 'A skill for', 'This skill provides'.
Before: max description length was 791 chars (architecture-diagram),
74 of 81 built-in skills were >60 chars.
After: max 60, mean 54, all 81 built-in skills <=60.
Rewritten with double-quoted YAML scalars to preserve Chinese/arrow
glyphs (baoyu-comic, yuanbao, youtube-content).
Expands the claude-code skill with content from official docs and community
cheat sheets that was missing from v2.0:
Slash commands: /cost, /btw, /plan, /loop, /batch, /security-review,
/resume, /effort (with auto level), /mcp, /release-notes, /voice details
Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+P (model), Alt+T (thinking), Alt+O (fast mode),
Ctrl+V (paste image), Ctrl+O (transcript), Ctrl+G (external editor)
Ultrathink keyword for max reasoning on a specific turn
Rules directory: .claude/rules/*.md and ~/.claude/rules/*.md
Auto-memory: ~/.claude/projects/<proj>/memory/ (25KB/200 lines limit)
Environment variables: CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL, MAX_THINKING_TOKENS,
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER, CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB
MCP limits: 2KB tool desc cap, maxResultSizeChars 500K, transport types
Reorganized slash commands into Session/Development/Configuration groups
Reorganized keyboard shortcuts into Controls/Toggles/Multiline groups
Major rewrite of the claude-code orchestration skill from 94 to 460 lines.
Based on official docs research, community guides, and live experimentation.
Key additions:
- Two orchestration modes: Print mode (-p) vs Interactive PTY via tmux
- Detailed PTY dialog handling (trust + permissions bypass patterns)
- Print mode deep dive: JSON output, piped input, session resumption,
--json-schema, --bare mode for CI
- Complete flag reference (20+ flags organized by category)
- Interactive session patterns with tmux send-keys/capture-pane
- Claude's slash commands and keyboard shortcuts reference
- CLAUDE.md, hooks, custom subagents, MCP, custom commands docs
- Cost/performance tips (effort levels, budget caps, context mgmt)
- 10 specific pitfalls discovered through live testing
- 10 rules for Hermes agents orchestrating Claude Code
