Input Contract

Required Inputs

Output Contract

• Updates managed blocks in generated skills in place.
• Reports created/updated/skipped/failed counts.
• Preserves unmanaged files unless --force is set.

Validation Checklist

• Confirm managed marker replacement happened for existing files.
• Review skipped unmanaged warnings and decide if force is appropriate.
• Spot-check at least one skill for expected template updates.

• Filesystem write errors.

Implementation Status
