## Installed resources

Keep the working directory at the user's project. Resolve this `SKILL.md` with
`Path(path).resolve()` to follow symlinks. Bare `helpers/`, `references/`, and
template paths are relative to that real directory. `skills/<name>/...` refers
to the installed skill found by public name in the agent's catalog, not the
user's project. Dependencies need not be siblings; report and install missing
skills before the dependent step. Shared writing files are bundled in
`how-to-write-ideas-report/references/`.

# Writing style guide

These sentence and paragraph rules guide `write-paper` drafts, `review-paper` findings and proposed fixes, and `how-to-write-ideas-report` and `survey` report prose.
