Individual skill
skill-persistence-guard
Detects missing or vanished skill directories in the local library and restores them from the latest local tar.gz artifacts or known Drive/GitHub sources. Use when skills disappear between turns, after environment cleanup, on startup health checks, or when autonomous-skill-forge or beta-unlocker report missing critical skills. High autonomy default — restore critical skills (forge, unlocker, evolver, orchestrator) automatically and report. Makes the ecosystem more resilient to ephemeral filesystem behavior.

# Skill Persistence Guard
## Overview
Fixes the recurring problem of skill directories vanishing from `/home/workdir/.grok/skills/` between conversation turns or environment resets. Provides auto-detection and restore so critical feral skills stay available.
## Core Rules
- Critical skills list (always try to keep present): autonomous-skill-forge, beta-unlocker, skill-evolver, multi-agent-orchestrator, drive-persistence-bridge, natural-language-to-skill, skill-researcher.
- Prefer local artifact tars first (fastest), then Drive download if available, then GitHub.
- Log every restore action.
- Do not claim success until the SKILL.md is present and validates.
