docs: transition from Interest Group to Working Group (#81)
* docs: transition from Interest Group to Working Group Follow-up to modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#2586, which converted the charter from IG to WG. - Rename Interest Group → Working Group in headings and prose - Update Discord (#skills-over-mcp-wg) and Discussions (meeting-notes-skills-over-mcp-wg) references; channel renames coordinated separately - CONTRIBUTING.md: align meeting norms with MCP group governance (7-day advance notice, meet.modelcontextprotocol.io) and rewrite Decision-Making to reflect WG authority (lazy consensus → formal vote → escalation), linking to the charter's Authority table - Keep CODEOWNERS team at skills-over-mcp-ig pending access-repo rename; TODO comment added - decisions.md: update present-tense preamble, log the IG → WG transition as a new ADR entry, and preserve historical entries Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(contributing): link to governance/charter instead of duplicating Meetings and Decision-Making sections now point to the MCP group governance doc and charter for canonical rules, keeping only the repo- or group-specific bits (notes location, coordination channels, outputs list). Also drops a leftover "rough consensus" IG-era phrase in the Decision Log guidelines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(codeowners): fix sentence fragment in default-owner comment "Has day-to-day governance" read as an incomplete sentence and overstated what CODEOWNERS actually encodes (review routing, not governance). Replace with a direct one-liner. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

### 2026-04-16: Convert Skills Over MCP from Interest Group to Working Group
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** [Accepted by Core Maintainers](https://discord.com/channels/1358869848138059966/1464745826629976084/1494774410891231352)
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:** The group formed as an Interest Group on 2026-02-01 to explore skills distribution over MCP. Over the following weeks the work moved beyond problem-framing into concrete deliverables including the Skills Extension SEP (Extensions Track). Per MCP [group governance](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/working-interest-groups), Interest Groups focus on "identifying problems worth solving" and produce non-binding recommendations, while Working Groups "collaborate on a SEP, a series of related SEPs, or an officially endorsed project" and make binding decisions. The group's output had crossed that boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Convert to a Working Group. The group retains its existing scope (skills discovery, distribution, and consumption through MCP) and charter location, now governed by WG rules: lazy consensus → formal vote → escalation, with WG Leads holding autonomous authority over meeting logistics, proposal prioritization, and in-scope SEP triage. Spec changes require WG consensus plus Core Maintainer approval.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:** The group was already doing WG work — shepherding SEPs, building reference implementations, and coordinating cross-WG concerns — without the matching authority structure. Aligning form with function lets the group own SEP decisions in its scope (rather than routing recommendations through other WGs), formalizes the two-Lead model already in practice, and makes responsibilities explicit under the governance doc.
