Session Overview

Sam pasted the v1.1.0 text of the sa-copywrite-design skill (frontmatter notes 14 rule adjudications by Sam, dated 2026-06-11) and said "please update." Goal: propagate v1.1.0 to every place the skill lives, with rollback, and reconcile against the rest of the library. Importance: Medium. Core task: DONE. Three decisions pending (below).

What Was Accomplished

  1. Located every copy. Cowork-installed cache: NOT installed (new to Cowork). Local: Documents/Projects/Skills/sa-copywrite-design/ (canonical local, pre-v1.1, 796 lines, no version metadata) and Documents/Perplexity Skills/sa-copywrite-design/ (mirror). Backups from 2026-06-08 and Codex exports from 2026-06-09 exist and were left untouched.
  2. Deployed v1.1.0 SKILL.md to BOTH library copies. The references/ folder (14 files, incl. advanced-components.md and inline-snippets.html that the skill text cites) was preserved untouched in both.
  3. Packaged Downloads/sa-copywrite-design.skill (zip: SKILL.md + references/, 17 files) so Sam can one-click install into Cowork. Agents cannot modify Cowork-installed skills from a session; install/uninstall is Sam-only via the .skill card or Settings > Capabilities.
  4. Mechanical fixes applied to the pasted text (no rule changes): quoted the YAML updated value (a colon inside the unquoted scalar broke YAML parsing, verified with a parser before and after); Mamy corrected to Many in section 25; closed the backtick on the GET STARTED submit button in section 10; closed unterminated bold markers on the Sticky sidebars and Italic headers/Straight quotes lines in the Do Not Use list. YAML now parses clean: name sa-copywrite-design, version 1.1.0.
  5. Rollback: Documents/Projects/_reports/skill-backups/sa-copywrite-design-2026-06-11-pre-v1.1/ holds projects-skills-copy/, perplexity-skills-copy/, and UPDATE-LOG.md. Restore by copying either folder back over the live one.

What Was Tried and Did Not Work

zip could not write directly inside the session outputs mount (Operation not permitted on replace). Workaround: build the zip in /tmp, then copy to Downloads. Future agents packaging .skill files should build outside the mounts.

Decisions Made and Reasoning

  1. Treated Sam's pasted v1.1.0 as authoritative over the longer local v1.0 text (Sam's adjudications supersede; old text preserved in backup).
  2. Did NOT add the skill to Documents/Claude Skills/: that folder appears to mirror Cowork-installed skills and scheduled jobs (skills-library-sync, skills-scheduled-mirror-sync) may manage it. Avoided fighting another agent's automation.
  3. Did NOT auto-deprecate the three overlapping Cowork-installed skills (copywriting, copywriting-and-design, copywriting-design-brand-voice). They are NOT marked deprecated and share near-identical triggers with sa-copywrite-design, but a Notion page from 2026-06-11 (Copy Design Satellite Skill Reconciliation) shows consolidation work in flight, so this went to Sam as a choice instead.
  4. Full skill text not duplicated into Notion; file copies plus the .skill are canonical, and library-to-Notion sync appears to be a scheduled job's responsibility.
