QA: Open — drift handled, but stale task instructions detected.

TL;DR

The scheduled task's step 3 (cross-check Skills_Library mirror) contradicts the 2026-04-24 deprecation in commit 79035d2 ("Deprecate Skills_Library as a required mirror"). The agent followed step 3 literally and copied 24 directories to Skills_Library/, then noticed the deprecation. Filesystem permissions blocked the revert. The 24 directories are untracked in git — no commit was made.

Skills_Library cross-check

Policy says only post-run-qa-reflection/, _fixes-2026-04-23/, and test-write/ should be in Skills_Library/. Per Skills/SKILL-INDEX.md, all other skills should be assumed to live only under Skills/.

The agent copied 24 dirs anyway. They are now untracked but on disk. No commit was made.

What Sam needs to do

1. Update the scheduled task SKILL.md (/Users/samaguiar/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/.../uploads/SKILL.md) — replace step 3 with: "Cross-check only the explicit mirrors listed in Skills/SKILL-INDEX.md."
2. Clean up unauthorized copies: cd /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects && git clean -fd Skills_Library/
3. Decide on _gads-start-here.md: file exists at Claude/Scheduled/_gads-start-here.md but has no canonical in Skills/. Pull into Skills as canonical, or document as standalone shared partial.
