Conversation
Tighten the prose in 35 skill, reference, and playbook files without dropping any rule. Total size drops by about 10% in bytes and 9% in words. /architect now asks for the architectural explanation that /how produces, not a traced model that /how never makes. Bump pstack to 0.15.16.

…hes (#31) * Re-port the files whose text predates pstack 0.15.20 The last two hand syncs left upstream text from before pstack 0.15.20 in 21 files. These are the 15 files cursor/plugins#538 distilled, onyo-mode (cursor/plugins#538, cursor/plugins#575), opening-a-pr (cursor/plugins#538), babysit (cursor/plugins#571), worktree-cleanup (cursor/plugins#571, cursor/plugins#574), create-verification-skill (cursor/plugins#573), and README's onyo-agent paragraph (cursor/plugins#575). Each file now starts from the pinned upstream text, with ostack's harness port, defaults, and Projects edits applied again on top.

It applies the harness map, removes disable-model-invocation from skills outside KEEP_FLAG, and applies the file's patch in sync/patches. Every patch hunk is marked with its audit code ([A] harness port, [B] user default, [C] Projects workflow, [D] ostack's own change), so later work can find and remove one kind of change by grepping. check fails when a file differs from that result. refresh rewrites a patch after a hand edit and keeps the markers of hunks the edit didn't touch. bump merges ostack's changes onto a new upstream commit with git merge-file and lists the conflicts. sync/README.md explains each step.

Its sync job fails when a generated file no longer matches upstream plus its patch. Its hooks job runs hooks/onyo-mode.test.sh.

Summary
Tightens the prose in 35 pstack skill, reference, and playbook files. Every rule stays. Only the text that carries it gets shorter.
Across the touched Markdown files, size drops from 169,348 to 153,004 bytes (-9.7%) and from 26,177 to 23,829 words (-9.0%, counted with
wc -w).Changes
principle-*skills.howprescribes, buthowproduces an architectural explanation. It now asks for that. The rest of the skill is compressed.Model defaults (Opus at
xhigh, Grok atxhigh-fast), panel makeup,/poteto-help, and/setup-pstackdo not change.Test plan
node scripts/validate-plugins.mjspasses.principle-*skill folder under the new naming rule (24 of 24).
