Skills could only be installed into the fixed per-target directories (.claude, .codex, ...) of a Unity project or the home directory, but some users manage skills in an external skill-package store (for example a Microsoft APM package tree), which needs a caller-chosen flat destination. - skills list/install/uninstall accept --output-dir <path> and sync flat into <path>/<skill-name> with no target subdirectories - syncing touches only source-owned entries, so foreign files kept next to SKILL.md (such as apm.yml package manifests) survive installs, updates, and uninstalls; source-owned directories like references/ are still replaced wholly so stale files do not linger - --output-dir conflicts with --global and target flags, and is rejected for the v3 migration subcommands - move skills option parsing into skills_options.go to keep skills.go under the file length limit

The space-separated form consumed the next token unconditionally, so `skills install --output-dir --global` silently installed into a relative directory named `--global` instead of failing the documented mutual exclusion. Treat a dash-prefixed next token as a missing value; paths that genuinely start with a dash go through --output-dir=<path>, which the error's next actions now mention.
The --dir to --output-dir rename for uloop skills accidentally rewrote the unrelated `gh release download` examples too; gh has no --output-dir flag, so the documented verification steps stopped working.
…rrors Review of PR #2332 found robustness gaps in the dir-mode implementation: - syncSkillEntry replaced owned directories with RemoveAll followed by a fresh copy, so a mid-copy failure (disk full, permission) destroyed the installed references/ with nothing to restore. Reuse syncSkillDirectory, which copies into a temp sibling and swaps via rename with a backup. - uninstallSkillFromDir keyed presence on SKILL.md, so owned files left behind after SKILL.md was removed were reported "Not found" and never cleaned. Key on the skill directory and remove whichever owned entries still exist. - sourceOwnedDirNames swallowed its ReadDir error, silently treating every installed directory as foreign; propagate the error through dirSkillFilesOutdated and getDirSkillStatus instead. - runSkillsDirSubcommand's default branch exited 1 with no output; emit an argument error naming the unsupported subcommand. Also document that skipping disabled-tool filtering and deprecated-skill cleanup in dir mode is deliberate, since an external store is not scoped to one project.
--flat was silently accepted and ignored next to --output-dir while the other location flags errored, hiding from the user that dir mode always installs flat. Treat it as a conflicting flag like --global and targets.

Second review round on PR #2332 flagged remaining correctness gaps: - Top-level skill files were rewritten in place with os.WriteFile, so an interrupted write left a truncated SKILL.md, and SKILL.md was written before references/ synced, pairing new metadata with old files. Files now go through a temp file plus rename, and SKILL.md is written last so a partial sync keeps reporting outdated and stays repairable. - A foreign top-level file occupying a skill's name aborted the run with a raw ENOTDIR on Unix and behaved differently on Windows; status now stats the skill directory first and reports a clear error, while uninstall preserves the file and counts the skill as not found. - A skill directory holding owned files without SKILL.md was reported not-installed by list, Installed by install, and Removed by uninstall; it now reads as outdated everywhere and install repairs it as Updated. - Uninstall used os.Stat on owned entries, silently skipping a dangling symlink; os.Lstat now detects and removes it. - The SKILL.md comparison was duplicated between target mode and dir mode; both now share installedSkillFileMatches so the normalization rules cannot drift. - The filepath.Abs preamble was copy-pasted across the three dir-mode runners; it is resolved once in runSkillsDirSubcommand.
The single mutable conflicting variable made the reported flag depend on last-wins overwrite order, which read like a bug and forced anyone adding a flag to reverse-engineer the ordering. Each conflict now returns immediately through a shared error constructor.
Skills are sourced from the current project's package, so --output-dir fails outside a Unity project with a project-not-found error that never mentioned the escape hatch. The subcommand help now states the requirement and points at --project-path.

…ules Third review round on PR #2332 surfaced boundary and drift issues: - A symlink occupying a skill's name was followed by Stat, so uninstall could delete files from a directory outside the store and install could write through the link. Both paths now Lstat the skill directory and treat a symlink like an occupying foreign file. - An --output-dir destination that exists as a regular file surfaced as a raw ENOTDIR on Unix and as bogus not-installed statuses on Windows; the dispatch layer now rejects it up front with a clear error. - Uninstall deleted a user-created empty directory bearing a skill name while reporting the skill as not found; removeEmptyDir now runs only when something owned was actually removed. - Leftover .tmp-* / .backup-* artifacts from an interrupted sync were treated as foreign forever, permanently blocking skill-directory removal; install and uninstall now clean artifacts derived from source-owned entry names. - An unreadable SKILL.md aborted the run with a bare OS error; the error now names the affected skill and file. - The ownership listing (ReadDir + skip rules) existed three times and the comparable-files loop twice; both now have a single definition (sourceOwnedEntries, comparableFilesMatch) shared by status, sync, and uninstall. The --output-dir token and the subcommand-support rule each get one definition (skillsOutputDirFlagName, skillsSubcommandSupportsOutputDir) consumed by parsing, routing, and help.
Help and README said files uloop does not manage are left untouched, but files placed inside source-owned directories such as references/ are deleted when the directory is replaced on update. The wording now states the top-level scope and the wholesale replacement explicitly, and the help sites consume the shared supports-output-dir predicate.

Install ran removeStaleSyncArtifacts before the Lstat guard in getDirSkillStatus, so a symlink occupying the skill's name was followed by ReadDir and matching entries inside the symlink target could be deleted outside the store; a plain file at the name surfaced a raw platform-divergent readdir error instead of the crafted message. Run the status check first so the guard fires before any cleanup IO. The artifact matcher also accepted any suffix after ".tmp-"/".backup-", so human-named files like references.backup-manual were deleted as uloop debris. Require the digits-only suffix os.CreateTemp/os.MkdirTemp produce, and share the suffix literals as constants between the temp and backup producers and the matcher so they cannot drift apart.
The header's deliberate-omissions note covered deprecated-skill cleanup but not the per-skill consequence: entries a newer skill version drops or renames are left behind because ownership derives from the current source only. State it where the ownership rule is defined so readers do not take "stale files do not linger" to cover formerly-owned entries.
A foreign file or symlink occupying a source-owned entry name broke the sync: replaceSkillDirectory resolves the occupant with os.Stat, so a dangling symlink read as absent and the rename failed with a raw ENOTDIR, while a regular file was silently backed up and deleted. Clear the wrong-type occupant with Lstat before syncing each entry — ownership is name-scoped, so the occupant is uloop's to replace, and a symlink is removed as the link itself, never followed into data outside the store. Artifact cleanup matched any digits-suffixed "<owned>.tmp-*" or "<owned>.backup-*" name, which still captured dated human backups such as references.backup-20240115 and relied on the undocumented format of Go's random temp suffixes. Mint temp and backup names with a ".uloop-tmp-" / ".uloop-backup-" namespace marker instead, so cleanup identifies uloop's own debris by construction and no user file matches without deliberately adopting uloop's namespace.
The predicate was a blacklist (!isV3Migration) that returned true for any other string, while the dir-mode dispatch supports exactly list, install, and uninstall. A future subcommand would have been advertised in help and guidance yet rejected at dispatch. Make the predicate the same positive list so nothing is advertised before dir mode is wired.
README_ja.md mirrors README.md line for line but was missing the --output-dir install example, so Japanese readers had no README-level documentation of the feature. Also give dirSkillFilesOutdated a head comment: its narrowed rule (extra files are stale only inside owned directories) is the foreign-file guarantee in disguise and was the one undocumented function in the status chain.
Stale-artifact matching required the artifact's prefix to be a currently source-owned entry name, so debris minted for an entry a newer skill version renamed or dropped could never be matched and blocked skill directory removal forever. The .uloop- namespace marker is the whole safety argument, so match it alone and drop the ownedNames coupling (which also removes a redundant source listing from the install path). Uninstall also left the skill directory behind whenever OS/tool debris uloop never installs (.DS_Store from Finder, Unity *.meta) remained in it, ghosting the directory in the store and leaving orphaned .meta files for Unity to warn about. Remove such debris with the directory when nothing genuinely foreign is left; any other remaining entry still keeps the directory in place.
The --output-dir help paragraph said "skills sync flat into", which read as install documentation under the uninstall and list usages; say the skills are managed flat instead. The occupied-skill-name error said "exists but is not a directory" even for a symlink pointing at one, which misstates the problem — give symlinks their own message naming the refusal to follow.
A name match alone no longer authorizes replacing or deleting store
content. This closes several data-destruction and coherence holes an
independent review reproduced against the previous behavior:
- A hand-authored skill directory in a store uloop never installed
into (owned entry names present, no SKILL.md) was deleted by
uninstall ("Removed") and overwritten by install ("Updated"). Both
now require install evidence: an exact-name SKILL.md, or owned
content matching the current source (the orphan a partial removal
leaves behind), so orphan repair still works.
- On a case-insensitive filesystem (macOS, Windows) a user's skill.md
or References/ was claimed and deleted as the source-owned entry,
because path probes let the filesystem case-fold names. All lookups
now compare exact on-disk names from ReadDir, and a case-variant at
an owned name blocks the skill uniformly on every platform.
- One foreign file occupying a skill name aborted install mid-store
with no summary and truncated list. Conflicts are now a per-skill
status: install reports the reason, counts it as Blocked, keeps
syncing the rest, and exits 1; list shows "! name (conflict)" and
completes.
- Status comparison walked and read every foreign file in the store,
so a huge artifact slowed each run and a FIFO next to SKILL.md
blocked forever, while an unreadable entry inside an owned directory
was silently reported as installed. The comparison now walks only
source-owned content and treats broken owned entries as outdated so
the next sync repairs them.
shouldSkipSkillFile decides what a sync copies; reusing it to decide what uninstall may delete along with a skill directory meant any future widening of the copy filter would silently widen deletions too. The deletion side now has its own predicate with the same patterns.
uloop install --dir already rejects a duplicated destination option; skills --output-dir silently took the last occurrence, so a stale flag left in a scripted command line would redirect the whole sync without any signal. Both value forms now fail with a duplicate-option error, matching the install command's behavior.
--project-path goes through the shared path normalization, but --output-dir fed the raw value to filepath.Abs, which anchors a POSIX-style path (Git Bash's /c/apm) under the current drive on Windows and syncs to an unintended directory. The dispatcher cannot know which drive the shell meant, so the path is rejected with guidance instead of being guessed at.
Review round 8 found that the skill directory itself was still resolved by path probe, so on APFS/NTFS a hand-authored Uloop-Sample/ directory was silently adopted as uloop-sample and its content destroyed. Every store lookup, the skill directory included, now goes through exact-name ReadDir matching, and a case variant reads as a per-skill conflict uniformly on all platforms. The round also showed three ownership checks each defining "installed entry equals source" slightly differently, so their drift produced states where evidence and outdatedness disagreed. compareOwnedEntry is now the single definition, with an explicit verdict that an empty match proves nothing (an empty owned directory no longer grants delete rights), source-side symlinks compared the same way the sync copies them, and unreadable installed entries surfacing as outdated for self-repair. Cleanup is narrowed to what uloop provably owns: sync artifacts must carry the digit tail os.CreateTemp mints (human lookalikes survive), .meta debris is deleted only for stems of source-owned entries, and a directory without install evidence is removed only when fully empty. Install failures caused by conflicts now exit 1 with a classified SKILL_STORE_CONFLICT envelope, and list prints the conflict reason under the status row so the remedy is visible without guessing.
A whitespace-only value (a typical unset shell variable) previously became a directory literally named after it; both value forms now reject it as a missing value. The --output-dir switch arm had also grown past the complexity threshold, so the option handling moved into parseOutputDirOption. On Windows the POSIX-path guard wrongly rejected //server/share: a double-slash prefix is a UNC path carrying its own volume, so it is now exempt. A file at the destination is reported as an ArgumentError instead of a bare error, so it no longer surfaces as a retryable INTERNAL_ERROR.
Review round 9 found that debris classification looked only at entry names, so a user directory named .DS_Store, Thumbs.db, desktop.ini, or references.meta counted as ignorable, and when such entries were all that remained after uninstall the whole skill directory was removed with the user's contents inside. Only regular files can be the OS junk or Unity .meta stubs this cleanup targets; a directory (or symlink) bearing a debris name is user data uloop never wrote, so it now keeps the skill directory alive.
Review round 10 found the file branch of compareOwnedEntry asymmetric with the directory branch: two empty directories classify as a vacuous match that grants no evidence, but two empty files classified as fully equal. A store directory holding a user's empty file at an empty source-owned name therefore counted as a uloop install, giving install and uninstall replace/delete rights they never earned. An empty content match now returns ownedEntryEqualEmpty for files too.
The classified error install emits on a blocked skill is a contract consumers parse, but the test only matched a reason substring on stderr, so removing the error code or its retry semantics would not fail anything. The test now decodes the envelope and asserts ErrorCode, SafeToRetry, and BlockedCount.
Review round 11 found that stale-artifact cleanup matched only the name pattern, so a source-owned entry legitimately named like data.uloop-tmp-123 was synced by the first install and then deleted by the next install's cleanup while the run still reported success. A name that exactly matches a current source-owned entry is live managed content, not a leftover, and is now skipped.
Review round 11 found no containment check between the destination and the skill sources. An output directory inside a skill source made install create the store within the tree the copy was enumerating, so WalkDir re-entered its own output (runaway growth or path-length errors); a destination containing a source is the same hazard mirrored. Both directions are now rejected up front as an argument error naming the conflicting path.
Review round 12 found the containment guard compared lexical absolute paths only, so a destination that is (or lives under) a symlink into a skill source bypassed it and install wrote inside the tree the copy was enumerating. Both sides now resolve through the nearest existing ancestor with EvalSymlinks before comparison, covering destinations that do not exist yet.
Five review rounds converged on evidence-gated ownership for --output-dir stores, and the same design questions (name-based ownership, a store manifest, gating the artifact namespace) were relitigated across rounds. The ADR fixes the decision, its carve-outs, the rejected alternatives, and the reversal condition so future maintenance does not reopen them from scratch.
skills_dir.go crossed the 500-line file limit the architecture test enforces. The deletion-authorization and cleanup helpers form a cohesive unit, so they moved verbatim to skills_dir_cleanup.go.
The overlap test matched raw stderr for the conflicting path, but stderr carries a JSON envelope where Windows path backslashes are JSON-escaped, so the substring never matched there. The test now decodes the envelope and checks Message, which holds real separators on every platform.

Owned entry names occupied by content uloop never wrote are reported as a conflict and preserved.skill.md,References/, or a hand-authoredUloop-Sample/directory as the source-owned entries; an entry matching an owned name only by letter case blocks the skill uniformly on every platform.SKILL_STORE_CONFLICTerror envelope, counts the skill underBlocked:, keeps syncing the remaining skills, prints the full summary, and exits 1; list shows! <name> (conflict)with the reason printed under the status row and completes; uninstall preserves the content and reports the skill as not found. One occupied name can no longer leave the store half-synced with no summary.--output-dirdestination that exists as a regular file is rejected up front, and an empty user-created directory bearing a skill name survives uninstall..uloop-tmp-/.uloop-backup-namespace marker, and leftover artifacts from an interrupted sync are cleaned up by install and uninstall. Cleanup matches only that namespace anchored to the all-digit tailos.CreateTempmints, so user files that merely resemble artifacts (references.backup-manual, dated backups,my-archive.uloop-tmp-keepme) are always preserved as foreign, and an entry whose name exactly matches a current source-owned entry is live managed content that cleanup never touches. This namespace is the one deliberate carve-out from the evidence rule: a name carrying the marker plus an all-digit tail is reserved for uloop (it is whatos.CreateTempmints and nothing else writes), so such leftovers are cleaned even in a directory without install evidence — the alternative, a manifest in the store, was rejected by design, and gating on evidence would only delay the same cleanup until the first successful install creates evidence. After artifact cleanup in a directory without install evidence, the directory itself is removed only when fully empty..DS_Store,Thumbs.db,desktop.ini, Unity*.metastubs of the entries uloop installed) is all that remains, instead of ghosting the directory in the store; only regular files qualify as debris (a directory or symlink bearing a debris name is user data), and a.metafile whose stem is not a source-owned entry is the user's own data and keeps the directory alive. The deletion authorization is a dedicated predicate, deliberately separate from the sync copy filter, so widening the copy filter can never silently widen deletions.--output-diris mutually exclusive with--global, per-target flags, and--flat(dir mode always installs flat), is rejected for v3-migration subcommands, and may be passed only once (a repeated occurrence is rejected instead of letting the last win, matchinguloop install --dir). A flag-like or whitespace-only token after--output-dir(a typical unset shell variable) is rejected as a missing value; paths that genuinely start with a dash go through--output-dir=<path>. On Windows a POSIX-style path (Git Bash's/c/apm) is rejected with guidance instead of being silently anchored under the current drive, while UNC paths (//server/share) pass; a destination that exists as a regular file is an argument error, not a retryable internal one. A destination that sits inside a skill source directory, or contains one, is rejected up front — otherwise the sync would copy into the very tree it is enumerating; the check resolves symlinks on both sides (through the nearest existing ancestor for not-yet-created destinations), so a symlink alias cannot smuggle the store into a source.skills_options.go, and dir-mode status classification intoskills_dir_status.go, to keep files within the file-length limit.--output-diris documented in both READMEs, and the ownership model — evidence rules, the artifact-namespace carve-out, rejected alternatives, and the reversal condition — is recorded as ADR 0004 (docs/adr/0004-dir-mode-evidence-gated-ownership.md) so the settled design questions are not relitigated later.Verification
scripts/check-go-cli.sh(format, vet, lint, tests, rebuild) passes; dispatcher tests cover flag parsing (missing/whitespace values, duplicates, conflicts), flat install, foreign-file preservation, evidence gating (never-installed content preserved by install and uninstall, empty owned directories granting no evidence, drifted orphans preserved as recoverable conflicts), case-variant entries (skill.md,References/, and the skill directory itself) preserved and blocked, per-skill conflict continuation with summary and reason lines, outdated detection including broken owned entries (dangling symlink repair) and working source symlinks, a foreign FIFO not blocking list, artifact cleanup with lookalike and user-.metapreservation, and list statuses including conflicts.
