skilldrop 0.11.7

Released 2026-09-25 · npx skilldrop-cli@0.11.7

Three more loops complete the lifecycle: discover (raw signal to a requirement a human ratifies at G0), design (a requirement to a recorded ADR, gated by council-review at G1), and operate (a shipped service through detection, response and learning at G3). With build and the ship-a-draft wrapper, skilldrop now ships five loops.
The four lifecycle loops are separated by reversibility — a discovery mistake costs a re-brief, a design mistake is unwound in code months later, a build mistake is a revert, an operate mistake reaches live users — which is why each owns its own gate instead of folding into a neighbour.
operate closes a real feedback edge: postmortem-generator emits runbook deltas and the loop routes them straight back into runbook-generator.
Skills can now declare a directed hand-off: handoff: [{ to, when, purpose, fallback }]. fallback is required, which turns "sibling hand-offs are advisory" from prose into something validate.py checks — a hand-off to a skill you have not installed now degrades in a stated way instead of dead-ending. 22 edges ship across 15 skills.
Loop diagrams are generated from loop.json by the new build_loops.py, into docs/loops/*.mmd and the README's mermaid blocks. validate.py fails on drift, so a diagram can no longer disagree with the contract it illustrates. The two hand-maintained .mmd files this replaces are retired.
