dedup-skills

Use when asked to deduplicate a skill tree, fold overlapping skills, or cut the skill count: analyze, gate per family, then fold. Not for prompt-doctrine cascades: use cascade-dedup.

# Dedup skills

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | User asks to deduplicate a skill tree, fold overlapping skills, or cut the skill count. |
| Authority | Human-gated: requires explicit human invocation; the analyze phase writes only the fold ledger; the dedup phase runs only on an explicit user command naming approved families and then writes skill directories, descriptions, the attribution file, the changelog, and generated surfaces, one commit per family; rollback is `git revert` of that commit. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | A fold ledger, then per approved family: the survivor absorbs the members' unique steps, the members are deleted, pointers are rewritten, attribution and changelog are updated, and generated surfaces are re-rendered. |
| Done | Every family in the ledger carries a decision; every approved family is folded in its own commit; the checker reports no dangling pointer; the removed count and the remaining count are measured, not projected. |

## Inputs

- Target tree path (default `plugins/`). Every `<plugin>/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` under it is a skill.
