Discovery Source

AGENTS.md is the session-facing registry. It should stay aligned with skill frontmatter and the canonical skill directories under .agents/skills/.

Legacy compatibility note: review-backlog and update-repo-reference may still exist in some environments, but prefer the oat-pjm-* family for the current file-backed backlog/reference workflow.
