Drop CI-generated mirrors that self-applied caveman to this repo when
opened in Cursor/Windsurf/Cline/Copilot. The installer never read them
(bin/install.js consumes only hooks/, rules/, tools/, agents/, skills/,
mcp-servers/, plugins/caveman/), so removing them just declutters the
root. Devs who want self-application can opt in via npx caveman --only
<agent>.
Removed:
- .cursor/skills/, .cursor/rules/caveman.mdc
- .windsurf/skills/, .windsurf/rules/caveman.md
- .clinerules/caveman.md
- .github/copilot-instructions.md
- caveman/SKILL.md (and empty caveman/ parent)
Updated .github/workflows/sync-skill.yml: drop the cp + mkdir lines and
git add paths for those mirrors, drop the entire "Sync auto-activation
rules" step, and drop rules/caveman-activate.md from the paths: trigger
since the workflow no longer consumes it. plugins/caveman/, cavecrew,
compress, and caveman.skill ZIP sync steps are preserved.
Updated CONTRIBUTING.md note to reflect the smaller auto-synced set.

- Move caveman-compress/ source (SKILL.md, scripts/, README.md, SECURITY.md) to skills/caveman-compress/.
- Delete skills/compress/ — the CI-generated rename mirror that caused dual-source confusion.
- Move plugins/caveman/skills/compress/ to plugins/caveman/skills/caveman-compress/. Plugin keeps the consolidated name; CI no longer rewrites the frontmatter.
- Replace the two sed-heavy CI sync steps with one verbatim cp -r from source to plugin.
- Update verify_repo.py, test_compress_safety.py, test_validate_inline.py, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, and the workflow paths to reference the new location.
- Use Path.resolve().parents[N] for the benchmark.py repo-root walk now that the directory depth changed.

The caveman.skill ZIP is regenerated by CI on every push and lived at
the repo root, where users mistook it for an editable source. Moving it
to dist/ makes its build-product nature obvious while keeping it
tracked so GitHub release links and npm packaging keep working.
Updates:
- git mv caveman.skill -> dist/caveman.skill
- .github/workflows/sync-skill.yml rebuild step now writes to dist/
- .gitignore ignores dist/* but allows dist/caveman.skill
- package.json files array includes dist/caveman.skill for npm pack
- CONTRIBUTING.md and tests/verify_repo.py path references updated

install.sh:
- detect_match: replace `awk -v RS='||'` (rejected by macOS BSD awk:
"illegal primary in regular expression") with bash parameter expansion.
Compound detection specs were silently failing, so cursor / windsurf /
continue / and 28 other compound-spec providers were never detected.
- --with-mcp-shrink: flip default OFF + probe `npm view caveman-shrink`
before registering. Was registering a config that 404s on first spawn.
install.ps1: mirror the MCP-shrink default flip + npm probe.
tests: update statusline tests for default-on suffix behavior. Add a
regression for fresh installs where the suffix file is absent.
Add npm-pkg-fix formatting to package.json.
cavecrew: promote agents/cavecrew-*.md to top-level canonical, refine
subagent contracts (sharper output formats, terminal refusal
lines, model: haiku for read-only roles). CI workflow syncs
agents/ + skills/cavecrew/ into plugins/caveman/.
docs: README & CLAUDE.md align with new opt-in MCP-shrink policy.

Gemini CLI fails to load skills through symlinks. Replace symlinks
in skills/compress/ with actual file copies and update CI to keep
them in sync. Remove redundant root compress/ directory.
Symlinks in plugins/caveman/skills/compress/ were checked out as plain
text path stubs on Windows (core.symlinks=false), causing Codex to reject
SKILL.md as missing YAML frontmatter. Replace with verbatim copies of
source files and add CI sync step to keep them in sync.
Closes#92

Add .windsurf/skills/caveman SKILL.md and update the sync workflow to copy and commit the new file. Expand README install docs with agent-specific install instructions and standalone hook usage; update AGENTS.md and GEMINI.md to use the new caveman-compress path. Add Windows PowerShell installers (hooks/install.ps1 and hooks/uninstall.ps1) and enhance shell installers (hooks/install.sh, hooks/uninstall.sh) to support --force, plugin detection, clearer statusline wiring messages, and idempotent JSON merging/removal of hook entries. Provides uninstall guidance for other agents and improves overall install/uninstall robustness.
Add project-level Cursor skill discovery support by introducing
`.cursor/skills/caveman/SKILL.md` as a copy of the canonical
`skills/caveman/SKILL.md`, without changing skill behavior.
Update the sync workflow to keep the new Cursor copy aligned with the
canonical source alongside existing synced targets, and include it in the
CI commit step. Also update CONTRIBUTING notes to document that this new
path is auto-synced and should not be edited directly.
Update .github/workflows/sync-skill.yml to add a pre-change step that configures git user/email and runs git pull --rebase origin main before copying files, reducing risk of merge conflicts. Also rename the commit step to "Commit and push if changed" and remove redundant git config and pull from that step so it only commits and pushes the updated files.
Update GitHub Actions workflow to add concurrency controls, checkout the main ref, simplify ZIP creation (zip directly from skills/), and pull --rebase before committing; commit message now includes [skip ci]. Also update README to add an "Intensity Levels" nav link. Clarify skills/caveman/SKILL.md: document explicit /caveman lite|full|ultra triggers, expand the description of dropped filler/pleasantries/hedging, and apply small formatting tweaks.
Add GitHub issue templates for bug reports and feature requests tailored to the caveman persona, and add CONTRIBUTING.md describing how to propose changes to skills/caveman/SKILL.md (fork, edit, PR with before/after examples and rationale). These files help standardize contributions and make it easier for maintainers to review small, focused changes; also points contributors to ‘good first issue’ tasks.
