Skill Placement and Provenance Policy
This document defines where generated, imported, and curated skills belong, how they are identified, and what gets shipped.
Skill Types and Placement
| Type | Root Path | Shipped | Provenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curated | skills/ (repo) | Yes | Not required |
| Learned | ~/.claude/skills/learned/ | No | Required |
| Imported | ~/.claude/skills/imported/ | No | Required |
| Evolved | ~/.claude/homunculus/evolved/skills/ (global) or projects/<hash>/evolved/skills/ (per-project) | No | Inherits from instinct source |
Curated skills live in the repo under skills/. Install manifests reference only curated paths. Generated and imported skills live under the user home directory and are never shipped.
