feat(#1866): agent-side self-load of configured agent_skills

Each of the 22 consumer agents now self-loads its configured agent_skills in its mandatory init step, so .planning/config.json agent_skills.<type> reaches the agent on every runtime — including Cursor and /gsd-autonomous, where Skill()-delegated workflow bash init did not reliably execute. - gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md: shared contract (query + Read + dedup guard that skips when <agent_skills> is already in the prompt, so Claude's orchestrator-side injection never doubles) - 22 agents/gsd-*.md: one self-load line naming the agent's own type - gsd-core/workflows/autonomous.md: note that delegated agents self-load - tests/agent-skills-bootstrap.test.cjs: regression + parity (CONSUMER_AGENTS bijection + fast-check property) — Generative-Fix-Divergence guard - docs: ADR-1866, CONFIGURATION dual-injection How It Works, INVENTORY row, Changed changeset Closes #1866

+**GSD subagents now self-load configured agent_skills regardless of orchestrator bash** — projects that map skills via `.planning/config.json` `agent_skills.<agent-type>` no longer silently lose them on `/gsd-autonomous` or Cursor, where `Skill()`-delegated workflow bash init did not reliably run. Each of the 22 consumer agents queries its own type at init and reads the listed skills, with a dedup guard so runtimes that also inject orchestrator-side (Claude Code) never carry two copies.

-At spawn time, workflows call `gsd-tools query agent-skills <type>` (or legacy `node gsd-tools.cjs agent-skills <type>`) to load configured skills. If skills exist for the agent type, they are injected as an `<agent_skills>` block in the Task() prompt.

This is established across ~25 workflows.
+
+2. **Agent-side self-load (durable fallback).** Each of the 22 consumer agents also self-loads in its own mandatory init step — it runs `gsd_run query agent-skills <its-type>` and `Read`s every listed `SKILL.md` per [`gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md`](../gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md). This is the path that works on every runtime, including **Cursor**, where `Skill()`-delegated workflow bash init does not reliably execute and `/gsd-autonomous` delegates via flat `Skill()` calls.
+
+**Dedup guard.** If an agent's prompt already contains an `<agent_skills>` block (orchestrator already injected one), the agent skips self-load — so on runtimes where both seams run (Claude Code), the prompt never carries two copies. `query agent-skills` is read-only and idempotent: it exits 0 with an empty block when nothing is configured for the type, so self-load is zero-overhead for unconfigured agents.

+# ADR 1866: agent_skills dual injection — orchestrator-side + agent-side self-load
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-07-01
+- **Issue:** [#1866](https://github.com/open-gsd/gsd-core/issues/1866)
+
+## Context
+
+The documented `agent_skills` injection contract ([Agent Skills Injection](../CONFIGURATION.md#agent-skills-injection)) is **orchestrator-side**: at spawn time, the *workflow* calls `gsd-tools query agent-skills <type>` in its bash init and interpolates the resulting `<agent_skills>` block into the `Task()`/`Agent()` prompt. This is established across ~25 workflows and was extended to the review family by #991 / PR #1005.
+
+Three gaps make orchestrator-side injection insufficient on its own:
+
+1. **`/gsd-autonomous`** delegates plan/execute/review via flat `Skill()` invocations and resolves no `agent_skills` itself — it relies on the delegated workflow's bash init running. On runtimes where `Skill()`-delegated workflow bash does not reliably execute (Cursor; assessed in #1600 / #1601 — "Phase C+D per-platform plugin skill model assessment, all N/A"), the configured skills never reach the consumer agent.
+2. **GSD agent definitions** (`agents/gsd-*.md`) discover project skills via `project-skills-discovery.md` but never call `query agent-skills` for the `agent_skills` config map.
+3. The gap is **invisible**: output still looks successful, so users who configure `agent_skills` in `.planning/config.json` see no error — the skills are silently ignored (same failure class as #991).
+
+`cmdAgentSkills` (`src/init.cts`) is read-only and idempotent — it exits 0 with an empty block when nothing is configured for a type. So an agent re-invoking it at its own init is safe and zero-overhead for unconfigured types.
+
+## Decision
+
+Adopt a **dual injection** contract. The orchestrator-side path stays as-is (no removal from the ~25 workflows); each of the 22 consumer agents *additionally* self-loads in its mandatory init step.
+
+- A shared reference, [`gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md`](../../gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md), owns the contract: the query, the `Read` step, the per-runtime coverage matrix, and the **dedup guard**.
+- Each consumer agent file carries one self-load line naming its own type (e.g. `query agent-skills gsd-executor`) and `@`-including the shared reference.
+- **Dedup guard (load-bearing):** if the agent's prompt already contains an `<agent_skills>` block, self-load is skipped. On runtimes where orchestrator-side injection also runs (Claude Code), this prevents the prompt from carrying two copies — a real context-cost regression that the guard closes.
+
+### Why not orchestrator-side only (Lens A)
+
+Extending `autonomous.md` to resolve skills itself (the #991 pattern) fixes the *autonomous-orchestrator* gap but not the deeper one: on Cursor, the agent *definition* is what the runtime loads, and the workflow bash init is the unreliable seam. Agent-side self-load moves the resolution to the agent definition, which is the surface Cursor actually consumes. We retain the autonomous.md documentation note (the workflow no longer needs per-delegation injection) but do not duplicate injection code there.
+
+### Why not remove orchestrator-side injection
+
+The ~25 workflows' injection is the proven, tested path on Claude Code and remains the primary channel there. Removing it would regress the runtime that works today. The dual contract keeps both; the dedup guard makes coexistence cost-free.
+
+## Coverage
+
+| Skill form | Orchestrator-side | Agent self-load |
+|---|---|---|
+| Project-relative path | all runtimes | all runtimes |
+| `global:<name>` | all runtimes | all runtimes |
+| `global:<plugin>:<skill>` | Claude only (Skill-tool directive) | Claude only — **not closeable on Cursor** (#1601); no plugin/Skill-tool model exists there |
+
+The `global:plugin:skill` gap on Cursor is **out of scope** for this ADR — it is a runtime limitation, not an injection-contract one.
+
+## Drift guard
+
+Three surfaces share the consumer-agent set: the `CONSUMER_AGENTS` list in `tests/agent-skills.test.cjs`, the agents carrying the bootstrap, and the `query agent-skills <type>` calls in workflows. `tests/agent-skills-bootstrap.test.cjs` asserts the bijection between `CONSUMER_AGENTS` and agents-with-bootstrap (Generative-Fix-Divergence, `CLAUDE.md`), with a `fast-check` property test over the agent file set. Any new consumer agent added without the bootstrap (or vice versa) fails CI.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Positive:** `agent_skills` config reaches consumer agents on every runtime regardless of orchestrator bash discipline; the `/gsd-autonomous` + Cursor path works without project-level workarounds.
+- **Negative:** Two injection seams to maintain. Mitigated by the dedup guard (no double-load) and the bijection drift-guard test (no silent desync).
+- **Neutral:** The documented contract in `CONFIGURATION.md` is updated to describe both paths.

+
+## When to run
+
+In your mandatory init step — right after `mandatory-initial-read.md` / the
+`Project skills` discovery, before any other work.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Dedup guard (MANDATORY).** Look at your own prompt. If it already contains an
+   `<agent_skills>` block, the orchestrator already injected one — **skip self-load
+   entirely.** Loading a second copy wastes context on runtimes where orchestrator-side
+   injection also runs (e.g. Claude Code). The guard is what keeps the two seams from
+   doubling the block.
+
+2. **Query your configured skills.** Use **your own agent type** — the `name:` value in
+   your frontmatter (e.g. an agent whose frontmatter says `name: gsd-executor` queries
+   `gsd-executor`). The query is read-only and idempotent — it exits 0 with an empty
+   block when nothing is configured for your type:
+
+   ```bash
+   _AGENT_SKILLS=$(gsd_run query agent-skills <YOUR-FRONTMATTER-NAME> 2>/dev/null || true)
+   ```
+
+   The runtime `gsd_run` resolver is the standard one from
+   `_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh`; your own init already defines it.
+
+3. **Read every listed skill.** The block emits entries as `@<path>/SKILL.md`
+   includes — `Read` each one before starting work. If the block is empty, there is
+   nothing to do (zero overhead).
+
+## What self-load does and does not cover
+
+| Skill form | Self-loads? | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Project-relative path (`skills/my-skill`) | ✅ everywhere | `Read` the `@`-include |
+| Global personal (`global:<name>`) | ✅ everywhere | resolves to the runtime global skills dir, then `Read` |
+| Plugin-provided (`global:<plugin>:<skill>`) | Claude only | emitted as a Skill-tool directive on Claude; **skipped with a warning on all other runtimes** — the plugin/Skill-tool model has no equivalent elsewhere (#1601, #1258). Not closeable on Cursor. |
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Idempotent and read-only.** `query agent-skills` never mutates state; calling it
+  twice (once by the orchestrator, once by the agent) is harmless because the dedup
+  guard suppresses the second load.
+- **No new config keys.** This reuses the existing `agent_skills` map and the existing
+  `buildAgentSkillsBlock` / `cmdAgentSkills` machinery (`src/init.cts`). The 22 consumer
+  agent types are mirrored in `tests/agent-skills.test.cjs` (`CONSUMER_AGENTS`) and
+  guarded against drift by `tests/agent-skills-bootstrap.test.cjs`.
+- **Checkers / read-only agents.** Bash is universal across consumer agents, so
+  self-load works for plan-checkers, verifiers, and auditors too; the bootstrap assumes
+  no tool an agent lacks.

Each consumer agent (`gsd-planner`, `gsd-executor`, `gsd-plan-checker`, `gsd-verifier`, …) self-loads its configured `.planning/config.json` `agent_skills` in its own mandatory init step per `@~/.claude/gsd-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md`. This is the durable path that works on every runtime — including Cursor, where `Skill()`-delegated workflow bash init does not reliably execute. No per-delegation injection is needed here.
