The previous note said a fresh clone gets the skill back from `make
plugin` without naming the command, and I picked the wrong one when the
files actually went missing. There are two, and only one restores the
skill:
- `graphify install --platform claude` copies SKILL.md, references/
and .graphify_version. Touches nothing else. This is the recovery
command, verified: the skill came back at 0.9.61 and the four
guarded configs were byte-identical afterwards.
- `graphify claude install` writes the CLAUDE.md section and the
.claude/settings.json PreToolUse hooks, rewrites both of those
guarded configs (EVAL-020, reproduced today), and does NOT copy the
skill.
LRN-154 records why the files vanished in the first place. `git rm
--cached` keeps the working file, but `gitflow finish` checks out the
target branch, where it is still tracked, so git restores it and the
merge then deletes it from disk. .gitignore does not protect it; it only
stops a re-add. The file survives the commit and dies at the merge, which
reads as unrelated.
