## How to detect user-created skills
A skill is **personal** if it satisfies AT LEAST ONE of these signals (in priority order):
The install convention (`link.sh`) IS the discriminator — no content heuristics:
1. **Explicit marker** — frontmatter contains `owner: user` (preferred — unambiguous, future-proof)
2. **Agent-reference heuristic** — SKILL.md body references an agent file from `~/.claude/agents/` on a non-comment line
3. **Allowlist** — skill name is in the explicit allowlist below (for self-contained personal skills that do not delegate)
Allowlist of self-contained personal skills (no agent delegation): `skills-perso`.
Framework / gstack skills always FAIL all three signals — that is how they are excluded.
1. **External/framework skills are symlinks** (gstack, npx skills, third-party) → excluded.
2. **Personal skills are real directories** containing a `SKILL.md` → included.
3. **Machine-generated skills** (e.g. `find-docs`, written by `install-plugins.sh`)
are real dirs but gitignored in the config repo → excluded via `git check-ignore`.
Run this command to get the list of personal skills:
```bash
ALLOWLIST="skills-perso"
SKILLS_DIR=$(readlink -f ~/.claude/skills) # resolves into the config repo when wired by link.sh
is_personal() {
local skill_file="$1" skill_name="$2"
# Signal 1: explicit marker
if grep -qE '^owner:[[:space:]]*user\b' "$skill_file" 2>/dev/null; then
return 0

6. At the end, show the total count of personal skills (and mention how many framework skills were excluded).

## Known limits of the detection heuristic
- **False positive (rare):** agent references buried in fenced code blocks
(` ``` ... ``` `) match Signal 2 even though they are not active delegations.
Mitigation: skill author adds `owner: user` (Signal 1) — explicit always wins.
- **False negative:** personal skills that delegate to agents under non-standard
paths (e.g. `~/.config/myagents/`, `agents-shared/`) won't match Signal 2.
Mitigation: same — add `owner: user` to frontmatter.
- **Frontmatter malformed / missing:** `is_personal()` returns false (skill
silently excluded). The "0 personal skills detected" diagnostic catches the
zero case but not partial misses.
- **False positive:** a framework skill COPIED (not symlinked) into
`~/.claude/skills/` reads as personal. Mitigation: keep externals symlinked —
`link.sh` does; re-run it if an install went sideways.
- **Machine-generated dirs** are caught only when `~/.claude/skills` resolves
into a git repo whose `.gitignore` marks them; outside that layout they are
listed as personal. The stderr `excluded:` count makes an implausible split
visible (e.g. `excluded: 0` on a tree known to hold gstack symlinks).
- **Description extract edge cases:** plain multi-line YAML (no `|`/`>`) is
read as first line only. For users of `description: |` block scalars this is
intended; otherwise inspect raw `SKILL.md` if a description looks truncated.
- **Override:** to force-include a framework skill, fork it into `~/.claude/skills/`
and add `owner: user`. The fork is then yours to maintain.
- **Override:** to adopt a framework skill as your own, fork it into a real
directory under `~/.claude/skills/` (drop the symlink). The fork is then
yours to maintain and is listed as personal.
