skill packages what an agent can do into versioned, auditable capabilities. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md contract (trigger, inputs, outputs, verification) plus optional scripts and assets; agents load skills by name and every consequential run leaves evidence.

What lives here

• The skill library: author/audit pairs for the task workflow (context maps, edge-case matrices, implementation plans, code review, coverage gate, observability injection, backlog state updates) - the working parts of ship-tasks.
• Contracts: modules/skill/contracts/ holds normative references, including the task STATUS-REFERENCE (the 10-state lifecycle and the two required human-acceptance gates).
• The Rust host (modules/skill/crates/host): loads, validates, and executes skill definitions.
• Golden sets: modules/skill/.awh/ seals a baseline of the skill suite; the awh gate reruns it out-of-band so a regression can never self-certify.

How skills reach other repos

npx cs install vendors the author/audit skills into every initialised project under .cyberos/cuo/skills/, and the Claude plugin (payload marketplace) exposes /install, /create-tasks, /status, /version, /uninstall, /help, and the ship-tasks skill. The same skill bodies drive the workflow everywhere - there is no repo-specific fork.
