Included Skills2

planning-with-scratchpadskills/planning-with-scratchpad/SKILL.md

Use when user explicitly requests planning with a scratchpad, or asks for persistent tracking of a complex task that the human can browse visually. Backs planning files with the `scratch` CLI so a pad's files are registered and viewable.

scratchskills/scratch/SKILL.md

Organize knowledge from an agent session into a scratchpad — a folder of files plus a scratchpad.json manifest. Use when a task generates notes, snippets, command output, diagrams, or artifacts worth keeping together for a session/activity.
