Highlights

  • Relative paths everywhere — Replaced 1,271 custom <cc-polymath-root> references with standard relative paths across 111 files, making the plugin fully portable and Agent Skills spec-compliant.
  • Gateway consolidation (40 → 23) — Merged closely related gateways for ~42% reduction in context budget at startup. Consolidated gateways: discover-infra (cloud + infrastructure + deployment + containers), discover-distributed (distributed-systems + realtime), discover-systems-theory (eBPF + IR + PLT + formal methods), plus 8 absorptions.
  • MCP server for skill discovery — New TypeScript MCP server providing search_skills, list_skills, and skill_info tools, enabling tool-based discovery without consuming context tokens.
  • Frontmatter standardization — Added name + description frontmatter to 160 files (INDEX.md files, leaf skills missing it, category name prefix fixes).

What's Changed

Breaking

  • All <cc-polymath-root>/path references replaced with relative paths — custom path convention removed entirely
  • 17 gateway directories removed and consolidated into existing gateways

Added

  • MCP server (mcp-server/) with search, list, and info tools — indexes 450+ skills
  • Enhanced plugin hooks: compact recovery (re-injects skill awareness after context compaction) and SubagentStart hook for Explore agents
  • context: fork on /skills command to prevent discovery from polluting main context
  • CHANGELOG.md with full version history
  • Frontmatter on all INDEX.md files and leaf skills missing it

Changed

  • Gateway count: 40 → 23 (consolidated related domains)
  • Skill template simplified to align with Agent Skills spec (removed non-spec fields)
  • Plugin version bumped to 4.0.0 across plugin.json, marketplace.json, all gateways

Removed

  • 4.5MB of JSON report files from repository tracking (now CI artifacts only)
  • Internal planning documents (AGENT reports, RESOURCES plans, SECURITY audit docs)
  • 17 redundant gateway directories (merged into consolidated gateways)

Fixed

  • All CI workflows passing (Smoke Tests, Security Audit, Validate Dates)
  • Gitleaks false positives resolved via broadened allowlist for documentation examples

Verification

  • 22/22 pytest tests passing
  • validate.sh: 0 errors, 0 warnings
  • All 3 GitHub Actions workflows green
  • MCP server smoke test: 451 skills indexed, 23 gateways, search functional
