Strip the disable-model-invocation frontmatter key from all 19 editable skills. Absent = default = model invocation enabled. 8 were 'true' and blocked the model AND orchestrators from self-routing (status, plugin-check, analyze, onboard, refactor, init-project, pdf-translate, ship-feature) — contradicting the CLAUDE.md skill-routing rules. The other 11 were 'false', a no-op noise line.
The setting is binary (no per-caller granularity), so enabling orchestrator chaining also enables model auto-fire — accepted. Genuinely destructive operations remain guarded by the careful/guard hooks, independent of this flag.

First end-to-end run of /prune-memory on real .claude/memory/ surfaced
a broken verify script:
Old: `prefix=$(basename "$f" .md | tr a-z A-Z | cut -c1-3)` derived
the prefix from the filename's first 3 letters → produced DEC / LEA /
BLO. Actual prefixes are BDR / LRN / BLK. The grep then matched zero
entries, no MISSING/ORPHAN was ever reported, and the script printed
its "OK if blank" footer regardless of real state. False clean signal.
Fixed: hard-mapped filename → prefix via `declare -A PREFIX_MAP`.
Verified against current registries — 14 BDR + 16 LRN + 2 BLK + 1 EVAL
entries all index-consistent, no false negatives.
Added EVAL prefix to the map (evals.md was missing from the loop in
v1). Footer line clarified to `(blank above = OK)`. `wc -l` excludes
`.original.md` backups from the output.
Note: caveat in skill body said "v1 ships without baseline TDD test —
STEP 2 approval gate is the safety net". First real test caught a
verify bug that bypassed STEP 2 entirely. Lesson: STEP 4 is its own
safety net and needs its own test.
