Tom Boucher da4a86d8c1 feat(#1596): ship GSD skills via .claude-plugin/plugin.json
Phase B-provide of epic #1258. Adds a build-generated skills/ dir +
a skills manifest field so plugin-installed GSD exposes gsd-core:<skill>
the native Claude Code way. Closes the gap where plugin-only installs
lacked the skill surface because bin/install.js never ran.

- scripts/gen-plugin-skills.cjs: build step converting commands/gsd/*.md
  to skills/gsd-<stem>/SKILL.md via convertClaudeCommandToClaudeSkill
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: add "skills": "./skills/"
- package.json: add skills to files, gen:plugin-skills to build chain
- tests/issue-766-plugin-manifest.test.cjs: Section H conformance
  (manifest field + dir + frontmatter + count parity) + C2 skills symlink
- docs/adr/766-*.md: dated amendment adding skills surface row
- .changeset/rapid-bears-hum.md: type Added
- skills/: 69 generated gsd-<stem>/SKILL.md files (build-committed)

Closes #1596

Spike an idea through experiential exploration — build focused experiments to feel the pieces of a future app, validate feasibility, and produce verified knowledge for the real build. Spikes live in `.planning/spikes/` and integrate with GSD commit patterns, state tracking, and handoff workflows.

Two modes:

  • Idea mode (default) — describe an idea to spike
  • Frontier mode (no argument or "frontier") — analyzes existing spike landscape and proposes integration and frontier spikes

Does not require prior new-project setup — auto-creates .planning/spikes/ if needed.

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. </runtime_note>

Idea: $ARGUMENTS

Available flags:

  • --quick — Skip decomposition/alignment, jump straight to building. Use when you already know what to spike.
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of AskUserQuestion (for non-Claude runtimes).
  • --wrap-up — Package spike findings into a persistent project skill for future build conversations. Runs the spike-wrap-up workflow.
Parse the first token of $ARGUMENTS: - If it is `--wrap-up`: strip the flag, execute the spike-wrap-up workflow - Otherwise: pass all of $ARGUMENTS as the idea to the spike workflow end-to-end.

Preserve all workflow gates (prior spike check, decomposition, research, risk ordering, observability assessment, verification, MANIFEST updates, commit patterns).
