  • Re-review current skill propagation prompts and subagent tool availability from an adversarial perspective
  • Check baseline validation status before changes (initially blocked because Bun was not installed; installed Bun and found two pre-existing config test failures unrelated to this task)
  • Update architect delegation guidance to prefer skill file paths by default, with inline fallback only when needed
  • Update subagent prompts to load skills from referenced files before acting and fail loudly when a required skill cannot be loaded
  • Add the minimal tool-permission changes needed to make the file-path contract workable (search for SME, docs, and designer)
  • Update prompt regression tests to cover the new file-path contract, fallback semantics, delegation-schema expectations, and required tool availability
  • Run targeted validation, push changes directly to the PR branch, and summarize any remaining risk

feat(agents): add skills propagation from architect to subagents
6d0332b 
- Add ## SKILLS PROPAGATION section to architect prompt with:
  - Instructions to discover skills via glob in .opencode/skills/ and .claude/skills/
  - Skill-to-agent routing table (writing-tests → test_engineer/coder, engineering-conventions → coder/reviewer/test_engineer, etc.)
  - Instructions to include full skill body inline in delegations
  - Anti-rationalization rules to prevent skipping skill passing
  - Explanation that subagents run in isolated contexts without inherited skills
- Add SKILLS: field to delegation format template and all delegation examples
- Add SKILLS field + SKILLS HANDLING section to coder, reviewer, test_engineer, and sme INPUT FORMATs
- Add skills-propagation.test.ts with regression coverage for all new behavior
