What a person can now do

A person who installs builder sees seven skills, and each one is a stage of the work or the frame around it: builder, shape, plan, build, review, ship, security. A new session shows the soul and asks nothing.

Why

Six skills were never used: budget, canon, fleet, harness, intake, reach. Tenet 4 says: delete what nobody uses. They cost every user context and install size, and they cost the maintainer tests and evals.

What goes

• The six skills, their fixtures and their results.
• The commands reach, budget, mcpmerge and ledger. The binary keeps hook, security and version.
• The recommendation engine, onboarding, the send rules and the parity eval.
• Net: 141 files, 723 lines added, 8402 removed.

What changes in what stays

• The session-start hook prints the soul, the action map of the harness and the builder root. A state file from 3.0.0 is left alone and causes no error.
• ship checks commit signing itself, and checks gh when the remote is on github.com. When a check fails, it stops and names the fix.
• "A send rule or the person's yes" is now "the person's yes". Each send needs a yes in the session.
• tests/removed_test.go fails when a file that stays tells anyone to use a removed thing.
• CHANGELOG.md lists what went. Release 3.0.0 is the last one that has it.

Breaking for each person who invokes a removed skill or command.

Proven

• go test ./... passes, and bash tests/test_hook.sh passes, also with a 3.0.0 ledger file present.
• bash scripts/validate.sh prints "all checks passed" (scrub skipped: no denylist), and bash tests/test_validate.sh exits 0.
• ls skills prints seven folders. A fresh build prints usage: builder <hook|security|version> ....

Not proven

• No paid eval has run. The ship, builder and flow-gates fixtures have not been run again after this change.
• No eval covers "gh is missing and the remote is on GitHub". The ship fixture has no remote, so it grades the signing stop only.
• Nobody has read the hook output of a real new session with this binary installed.
