Tom Boucher c5e77c8809 feat(agents): enforce size budget + extract duplicated boilerplate (#2361) (#2362)
Adds tiered agent-size-budget test to prevent unbounded growth in agent
definitions, which are loaded verbatim into context on every subagent
dispatch. Extracts two duplicated blocks (mandatory-initial-read,
project-skills-discovery) to shared references under
get-shit-done/references/ and migrates the 5 top agents (planner,
executor, debugger, verifier, phase-researcher) to @file includes.

Also fixes two broken relative @planner-source-audit.md references in
gsd-planner.md that silently disabled the planner's source audit
discipline.

Closes #2361

# Project Skills Discovery
Before execution, check for project-defined skills and apply their rules.
**Discovery steps (shared across all GSD agents):**
1. Check `.claude/skills/` or `.agents/skills/` directory — if neither exists, skip.
2. List available skills (subdirectories).
3. Read `SKILL.md` for each skill (lightweight index, typically ~130 lines).
4. Load specific `rules/*.md` files only as needed during the current task.
5. Do NOT load full `AGENTS.md` files — they are large (100KB+) and cost significant context.
**Application** — how to apply the loaded rules depends on the calling agent:
- Planners account for project skill patterns and conventions in the plan.
- Executors follow skill rules relevant to the task being implemented.
- Researchers ensure research output accounts for project skill patterns.
- Verifiers apply skill rules when scanning for anti-patterns and verifying quality.
- Debuggers follow skill rules relevant to the bug being investigated and the fix being applied.
The caller's agent file should specify which application applies.
