From 965cdbba37b6504c50c740ee893ef6dcf855010c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kveton Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 14:33:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] skills/legal: remove trailing working-notes pollution MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Many skill files shipped with trailing editorial notes from a prior rewrite process — sections like "Key changes from the original:" with bullets about token reductions, structural changes, etc. A handful also contained leaked LLM permission-prompt chatter ("Could you grant write permission..."). None of this belongs in published skill content. Truncated the trailing pollution block from 305 SKILL.md files in skills/legal/. No legitimate skill content was touched — only the trailing editorial/chatter section after the last real content section. Verified with grep that all known pollution patterns are now gone. --- .../legal/510k-premarket-notification/SKILL.md | 14 -------------- skills/legal/abstract-of-judgment/SKILL.md | 15
