/caveman:compress writes a human-readable backup as <file>.original.md
before overwriting. Backups are recoverable via git history (the
pre-compression state lives in the previous commit), so committing
them duplicates content and bloats the repo.
Globbing on *.original.md catches all compressed registries plus
CLAUDE.original.md.

Wires JuliusBrussee/caveman into the always-on tier alongside
security-guidance and superpowers. Caveman compresses Claude's output
tokens (~75%) by speaking like a caveman while keeping technical
substance. Three layers:
1. Plugin (caveman@caveman, marketplace JuliusBrussee/caveman)
— adds /caveman, /caveman-commit, /caveman-review, /caveman-stats,
/caveman-help, /cavecrew, /compress + 3 cavecrew agents +
SessionStart/UserPromptSubmit hooks from the plugin path.
2. Standalone hooks (statusline + stats badge) deployed by
caveman's own hooks/install.sh into ~/.claude/hooks/. Paths in
settings.json normalized to ~/.claude/hooks/... so this user's
home dir doesn't leak across machines.
3. caveman-shrink MCP proxy — NOT auto-registered. The bare proxy
fails health checks because it requires an upstream MCP server
to wrap. install-plugins.sh STEP 5.5 prints a snippet showing how
to register a wrapped entry (e.g. caveman-shrink-fs) when the user
decides which upstream to compress.
New helper enable_plugin() for explicit always-on activation —
'claude plugin install' only copies into cache, doesn't write
enabledPlugins. Idempotent via Python json check.
doctor.sh adds detect_caveman / detect_caveman_hooks / detect_caveman_shrink
checks plus a 300t passive-cost adder. update-all.sh refreshes hook
files via the upstream installer's --force mode.
.gitignore covers caveman runtime files materialized into hooks/
because ~/.claude/hooks is symlinked to this repo.

Previous rule (.claude/) ignored everything under .claude/, making
the new governance files invisible to git. Switches to a wildcard
pattern with explicit negations: tasks/memory/audits/settings.json
become trackable; settings.local.json and agent-memory/ stay
per-machine. Commits existing .claude/settings.json which now falls
under the tracked scope.
Verified with git check-ignore:
- .claude/memory/decisions.md → exit 1 (not ignored) ✓
- .claude/tasks/TODO.md → exit 1 (not ignored) ✓
- .claude/settings.local.json → exit 0 (ignored) ✓
- .claude/agent-memory/ → exit 0 (ignored) ✓

Add `magic` to the unified toggle-external.sh helper alongside gstack,
emil-design-eng, darwin-skill, find-skills. MCPs are toggled via
`claude mcp add|remove` instead of symlink moves.
API key loaded from $REPO/.env (gitignored) via .env.example template.
install-plugins.sh step 8.7 forces magic MCP off after each install run
so the MCP doesn't load into every session unless explicitly enabled.
Toggle: bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable|disable|status magic

gstack 0.17.0 added 5 skills that land in skills/ via gstack ./setup
(benchmark-models, context-restore, context-save, make-pdf, plan-tune).
The older gstack skills are already ignored here — extend the list so
these don't show up as untracked after `make update`.

`claude plugin enable|disable` only toggles marketplace plugins.
Tools living as symlinks (gstack per-skill entries, emil-design-eng,
darwin-skill, find-skills) had no lever — users had to edit symlinks
by hand. The new script moves symlinks in/out of skills-disabled/
so Claude Code stops or starts scanning them.
Also removes the legacy global `skills/gstack` symlink that shadowed
per-skill entries with a duplicate top-level "gstack" skill (same
description as "browse"). gstack detection in detect-plugins.sh now
probes an individual skill instead.
plugin-advisor reads the new script's `list` command when gathering
state and emits its `enable|disable` commands in recommendations.

`claude plugin update` rejects a bare plugin name when multiple
marketplaces are registered — the CLI demands `name@marketplace`.
update-all.sh stripped the suffix via `${_p%%@*}`, causing every
marketplace plugin update to fail with "Plugin not found". Fixed
by passing the unmodified spec from `claude plugin list`.
Also adds install + update paths for external skills distributed
through the `npx skills` CLI (vercel-labs/skills):
- alchaincyf/darwin-skill
- alchaincyf/find-skills
These land in ~/.agents/skills/ and are now symlinked into
$REPO/skills/ via link.sh using absolute paths — the previous
relative `../../.agents/...` targets resolved incorrectly when
the repo is cloned below $HOME (as ~/Documents/claude/), leaving
dangling symlinks.

These 37 symlinks point to skills-external/gstack/ and are recreated
automatically by the gstack setup during install-plugins.sh. They
should not be versioned. Added all patterns to .gitignore.

Track all gstack-provided skill symlinks (autoplan, browse, qa, etc.)
and the graphify skill. Add .claude/, graphify-out/, .ctx7-cache/ to
gitignore to exclude local/generated files from the repo.
