Skills Plugin DOX

Purpose

Own current-chat skill loading, hidden skill configuration, and profile-level visibility policy.

hooks.py owns skill config normalization.
api/skills_catalog.py owns skill catalog access and loading selected skills into chat history.
webui/ owns skill settings UI and store.
default_config.yaml, plugin.yaml, README.md, and LICENSE own defaults, metadata, docs, and license.

Skills selected in webui/ load into the current chat history only; do not store them as scope defaults.
Loaded skills are append-only from the user UI because their instructions live in chat history.
Store configured skills in normalized portable paths.
Hidden skills affect catalog/search/load visibility but must not remove loaded skill history.
A profile visibility policy has an explicit future-skill default. It limits discovery and new loading without pinning skills or removing history-loaded instructions.
Chat visibility overrides may reverse legacy hidden_skills, but cannot re-enable a skill blocked by profile policy.

Coordinate skill loading changes with skills_tool, loaded-skill history reattachment, and settings UI.

Run skill runtime/catalog tests or smoke-test active, hidden, global, project, and chat-scope behavior after changes.
