# Skill Rules Reference (Legacy)

This document is kept for historical context.

**Current model**:
- Skill discovery is primarily driven by `description` in SSOT `/.system/skills/ssot/**/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
- Provider wrappers are generated under `/.codex/skills/**` and `/.claude/skills/**` by `sync_skills.py`.
- Optional prompt-time hints (if used) live under `/.system/skills/config/`.

The previous `/.system/skills/skill-rules.json` model is deprecated and no longer used by the template tooling.
