<SUBAGENT-STOP/>

Vendor any third-party skill repo into `~/.agentskills`, compressed to house style per `[[vendored-skill-compression]]`. The law: compress on the way in, never verbatim. Reference public content; fold overlaps into the canonical owned rule; cross-link; commit same turn.

Steps

1. Clone the repo to `/tmp/vendor-<name>/`. 2. Analyze: which files are skills (SKILL.md)? Which are public docs already at a stable URL? Which overlap with an existing `~/.agentskills` rule? 3. Build the pack folder `NN-<name>/` with:

`NOTICE.md` — provenance + upstream version + MIT license copy
`LICENSE-<name>` — the upstream license, verbatim
`SKILL.md` — compressed dispatcher with decision-flow + agent map + fold-list
One compressed sub-skill per non-overlapping upstream skill

4. For any overlapping technique: fold into the existing OWNED rule (attributed, cross-linked), do NOT create a duplicate skill folder. 5. For any public doc (>200 lines of upstream's own prose restating a known source): replace with a ≤20-line pointer + local deltas. 6. Register in `plugin.json` skills array, `_router.md` map, `llms.txt`, and `_packs/core.yml` (or the best pack). 7. Run `npm run lint`, fix any failures in YOUR files only. 8. Commit + push same turn per auto-push doctrine.

Skip (true negatives, not laziness)

The repo is a config/metadata-only wrapper (a marketplace entry, a plugin.json wrapper pointing at another repo).
Every file in the repo duplicates an existing `~/.agentskills` rule with no net-new technique.
The repo's license is incompatible with MIT vendoring.
