## Working agreement
- Do not delete or overwrite user data. Avoid destructive commands.
- Hyphens for all file naming (agents, skills, commands).
- `model: inherit` removed from agents — only declare when overriding (e.g., `model: haiku`).
- Agents reference skills (one-directional); skills stay generic and portable.
