What happens if a directory's RULE.md forbids updates?

The skill will detect 'immutable' or 'append-only' statuses defined in the RULE.md file, warn you about the restriction, and ask for explicit confirmation before attempting to override the rule.

Does it update the main index or README files?

Yes, it automatically invokes a governance protocol to update directory-level README.md files, ensuring timestamps are current and the file is correctly listed in the index.

How does this skill find the right file if I don't provide a path?

The skill uses sophisticated search strategies including filename matching, content searching via grep, and scanning README.md indexes to find the most relevant document based on your keywords.

Can this skill update frontmatter and YAML metadata?

Yes, it is specifically designed to parse, preserve, and update YAML frontmatter fields like 'last updated', 'version', and 'tags' according to your directory's defined rules.

How does it handle versioning and changelogs?

If your RULE.md specifies a versioning scheme, the skill can automatically increment version numbers and add standardized changelog entries to the file during the update process.
