Matt PocockandClaude Opus 5.5 f0588cd3ae Add SCOPE.md, issue forms, and out-of-scope records
- SCOPE.md: the two-part bar (observed failure + fits the philosophy),
  frozen misc/, no new skills, links to every .out-of-scope file
- .out-of-scope: native-question-tool, harness-name-collisions,
  new-skills, frozen-misc-skills; tracker rule now names GitHub, GitLab
  and local markdown explicitly and rejects Jira (#258, #1137)
- docs/agents/triage-labels.md + Agent skills block in CLAUDE.md
- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE: bug and idea forms, blank issues off,
  questions routed to Discussions
- README + install block: plugin updates lag the official marketplace
  pin; add a "stuck on an old version?" escape hatch

New skill proposals and contributions

This repo does not take proposals or contributions for new skills, including ones that arrive with a ready branch or a fork.

Why this is out of scope

The catalog is the set of skills I use myself every day, and it's deliberately small. Every skill is permanent maintenance surface: it has to stay in step with the others, with the docs pages, with ask-matt's routing map, and with the plugin manifest. The shorter and fewer the skills, the cheaper they are to keep correct.

The rule I apply to my own ideas applies here too: if you can compose the behaviour from existing skills, it doesn't get a new skill. Most proposals are a specific workflow built out of grilling, to-spec, to-tickets, implement and friends, and that composition belongs in your own prompts or your own skills.

You're very welcome to publish a skill yourself. skills.sh makes that straightforward, and nothing here needs to know about it.

This covers new skills only. A concrete failure in an existing skill is judged against the bar in SCOPE.md like any other issue.
