External PRs here have consistently arrived lint-clean, typechecking, and
green on their own tests, then stalled on the same handful of causes: a
capability advertised in the description but unreachable in code, assertions
written against the implementation rather than the requirement, destructive
migrations that cannot resume after an interruption, concepts reinvented next
to an existing one, transcript content treated as trusted, and verification
run against a head that a later merge invalidated.
Generic style rules would not have caught any of those, so CONTRIBUTING.md
states them directly, alongside hard per-area constraints for the
renderer/Electron, provider adapter, schema migration, main process, and
indexing/daemon boundaries. The PR template mirrors those as collapsible
per-area checklists so a renderer change is not asked about tokenizer
migrations, and gives deliberately-out-of-scope work its own place above the
fold rather than leaving it as a caveat inside a shipped diff.
README points at the document and repeats the four rules worth knowing before
reading it.
Add @obelisk-apps/cli with the existing build, search, query, and attune contract plus official skill installation.
Separate the docs-only skill artifact, bootstrap installer, release layout, cross-platform CI, and package-level regression coverage.
Keep message navigation and progress state synchronized, and preserve
sequential split-flap count updates with a bounded queue.
Publish the Obelisk skill under skills/obelisk for npx skills, sharing
the same staging layout between CI and local releases with regression coverage.
Add a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the readable, non-bundled skill
artifact (`npm run build:skill`) and force-pushes it to the dedicated
tommy0103/obelisk-skill public repo whenever the main branch is updated.
The skill repo is a pure derivative — no manual commits, no PRs; the source
of truth stays in tommy0103/obelisk.
- .github/workflows/publish-skill.yml: checkout → npm ci → build:skill →
clone skill repo → replace content → commit + force push. Auth via
SKILL_REPO_DEPLOY_KEY (SSH deploy key with write access to obelisk-skill).
- packaging/skill-README.md: the README placed in the skill repo (install
instructions + link back to source + "auto-published, don't PR here").
- packaging/skill-LICENSE: MIT license for the skill artifact (relicensed
from the AGPL-3.0 source by the copyright holder).
- packaging/publish-skill.sh: local convenience script for manual publish.
- packaging/skill-package.json: license field updated to MIT.
- README.md: install command updated to tommy0103/obelisk-skill.
- package.json: add publish:skill script.
The skill repo is MIT-licensed for zero adoption friction (local tool, no
library API, no derivative works expected); the source repo stays AGPL-3.0.

Restructure the README around the dual nature of Obelisk: agent-first
skill for querying session history, plus Electron desktop app for
browsing sessions, memories, activity, and recap cards. Trim verbose
implementation details and add app screenshot.
