From 84d5b577d333340e23c9214ebd7b7bb474670c90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Blumencranz <96924014+j15z@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 17:32:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(copilot): gate user skills to explicit slash-attach MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Stop the mothership from adopting a workspace user-skill on its own: - Remove the load_user_skill tool and its three payload callers (chat payload, mothership execute route, inbox executor); delete lib/mothership/skills.ts + its test. Skills no longer autoload as the agent's own instructions. - Rename the workspace "## Skills" inventory to "## Agent Block Skills — NOT FOR YOU" with a one-line guardrail so a skill's description (e.g. "respond like a pirate") is not treated as an instruction. Skills reach the model as behavior only via explicit /-attach.
