Included Skills2

better-harnessskills/better-harness/SKILL.md

Use when /better-harness reviews the outer coding-agent Harness for lifecycle controls, repeated work, project feedback, agent assets, session outcomes, repair planning, durable reports, finding-bound fixes, or manual direct fixes. Invoke only via slash command.

intent-correlation-analysisskills/intent-correlation-analysis/SKILL.md

Analyze a bounded IntentCorrelationPacketV1 and propose reviewable links among user inputs, execution slices, change units, commits, artifacts, and validation outcomes. Use when reconstructing why an observed coding-agent change exists or when Studio needs evidence-backed Intent correlation. Do not use for raw transcript summaries, deterministic file-operation collection, or autonomous confirmation of inferred Intent.
