AGENTS.md instructed agents to query the remote GitHub Agent Finder API to discover skills, but all skills in this repository are local under .github/skills/.

Changes

  • Replace the Agent Finder / ARD search instructions in the "Lazy Skill Loading Policy" section with an explicit prohibition on remote skill discovery services.
  • Direct discovery to listing/searching .github/skills/*/SKILL.md locally.
  • Retain the existing skill-fusion guidance (read only the needed sections rather than whole skills).

Updates the agent workflow guidance to require local-only skill discovery and explicitly prohibit using GitHub Agent Finder or other remote skill discovery services.

Changes:

  • Adds an explicit rule that all skills must be discovered locally under .github/skills/.
  • Replaces remote Agent Finder API instructions with local file-based discovery steps.
  • Rewords the discovery section to align with the new local-only policy.

Comment thread AGENTS.md
Use skills only when the task requires specialized guidance. Do not pre-load every skill.

When the relevant skill is not obvious, first discover candidates and then load only the minimal guidance needed:
All skills are local to this repository under `.github/skills/`. **NEVER** use GitHub Agent Finder (`agentfinder.github.com`) or any other remote skill discovery service to look for skills.
