Problem

Five skill descriptions were including behavioral instructions that belong inside the skill body, not in the picker description field. This caused agents to read the description and think they understood the skill without actually invoking it to get the real instructions.

Fix

Trimmed descriptions to concise trigger-condition-only format ("Use when...") for:

  • brainstorming -- removed "You MUST use this..." imperative and the "Explores user intent..." instruction
  • finishing-a-development-branch -- removed "- guides completion..." trailing instruction
  • receiving-code-review -- removed "- requires technical rigor..." trailing instruction
  • using-git-worktrees -- removed "- ensures an isolated workspace..." trailing instruction
  • verification-before-completion -- removed "- requires running verification commands..." trailing instruction

The full behavioral guidance remains intact inside each SKILL.md body where it belongs.

to read the description and skip invoking the skill.

Trimmed 5 descriptions to concise "Use when..." trigger conditions only:
- brainstorming
- finishing-a-development-branch
- receiving-code-review
- using-git-worktrees
- verification-before-completion
