Summary

Anthropic's review of the Claude plugin flagged that the Mintlify skill tells agents to follow live-fetched mint instructions output over the bundled skill when they differ. They'd like the reviewed, bundled text to stay authoritative and the CLI output to serve as reference.

This changes that sentence in agent-context/context/skills/mintlify/SKILL.md:

When it differs from this file, follow this file; use mint instructions for details this file doesn't cover.

skill.md is regenerated with npm run build:site-skill. npm run check passes.

The canonical skill feeds all four plugins (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Kiro) and the docs site's skill.md, so the change applies everywhere when the sync PRs go out.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change to agent skill precedence; no runtime or application logic affected.

Overview
Flips agent guidance when bundled skill text and live mint instructions output disagree: agents should follow this skill file and only use mint instructions to fill gaps the skill does not cover.

The wording is updated in the canonical agent-context/context/skills/mintlify/SKILL.md and propagated to the generated skill.md (e.g. via npm run build:site-skill), so bundled Mintlify agent skills stay the reviewed source of truth across plugin and site copies.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 2dc76e2. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Anthropic's plugin review asked that the reviewed skill text win when it
conflicts with live-fetched CLI output, with mint instructions kept as
reference for details the skill doesn't cover.

This PR changes the Mintlify skill but no mint instructions topic. Agents read both, so check whether the matching topic in mint-instructions/ needs the same change. If not, ignore this comment.
