Optional Artifacts

Artifacts are opt-in files outside normal skill directories. They add supporting workflow material such as templates, instruction docs, reviewer personas, entrypoint aliases, and repository-management notices. They are not installed by default because they can change agent behavior outside a single skill folder.

Use artifacts after deciding which skills or profiles you want. If an artifact depends on a skill, the installer creates it only when that skill is selected, already managed, adopted, migrated, or added with --with-deps.

Common commands:

make list-artifacts
make describe-artifact ARGS="entrypoint-alias:zotero"
make plan ARGS="--no-skills --artifact-profile workflow-templates"
make plan ARGS="--no-skills --artifact entrypoint-alias:zotero --with-deps"
make install ARGS="--no-skills --artifact-profile repo-management --dry-run"

Artifacts with dependencies are installed only when their backing skill is selected, already managed, or added with --with-deps. DeepSeek personas are installed as reference prompts because native persona-file loading has not been verified.
