Problem
pact-plugin/skills/orchestration/SKILL.md is currently 610 lines, well past the ~292-line per-file post-compaction restoration budget per memory 444 (4-tier durability model investigation, PR #444 / commit 8621cc7). Content past line ~292 may not restore after compaction, creating eviction risk for critical operating instructions.
This is a hygiene issue independent of any specific feature work — the budget overrun is structural and worsens with every additive edit to the orchestration skill body.
Action
Identify candidate sections to extract into separate skills:
- Agent dispatch templates →
skills/pact-agent-dispatch (or expand existing dispatch-related skill)
- Teachback review flow → expand
skills/pact-teachback
- Phase-by-phase principles → consolidate elsewhere (own skill or inlined into command files)
- Agent tracking task lifecycle table → could move to a smaller skill or be replaced with a cross-ref
Restore skills/orchestration/SKILL.md to comfortably within the ~292-line budget so that the full operating reference reliably restores after compaction.
Discovered during
#591 plan-mode session 2026-04-29 (plan at docs/plans/inbox-monitor-wake-plan.md). Preparer's R3 risk surfaced the budget overrun while researching the wake-mechanism placement; user explicitly requested this be filed as a separate hygiene issue regardless of #591 outcome.
Acceptance criteria
Related memories
444 — 4-tier durability model investigation; defines the ~292-line per-file restoration budget.
Canonical Task() dispatch is mirrored inline at every consumer site (PR #457) — load-bearing cross-ref discipline.
