* docs: point README and AGENTS.md at the released spec and official docs
SEP-2640 is Final and the extension ships from specification/stable/skills.mdx,
so the README now leads with a Specification section linking the spec file,
the official docs page (modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/skills/overview),
the published SEP, and the client matrix. The experimental banner is replaced
with a note that docs/ holds working documents; the charter, pulls, and issues
links move off the redirecting experimental-ext-skills / charter URLs.
AGENTS.md no longer names the SEP PR as the source of truth; it points agents
at the stable spec page and describes the decision-log flow against that file.

* docs: accepted spec changes land in a draft revision, not the stable file
The stable specification is a released snapshot. README and AGENTS.md now say
accepted decision-log proposals go into a draft revision that ships as a new
release, matching the ext-tasks specification layout.

* docs: move pre-release design documents to docs/archive
SEP-2640 is Final, so docs/ now holds only living working documents. Eight
historical documents move to docs/archive with an index explaining what each
was and what superseded it: the SEP baseline copy, why-and-when, use-cases,
approaches, skill-uri-scheme, glossary, client-mcp-support (superseded by the
official client matrix), and agent-plugins-analysis.
Files the published SEP links to by path (decisions, experimental-findings,
open-questions, problem-statement, rationale, related-work, skill-meta-keys)
stay in place so those links keep working. Cross-links are rewritten and
verified; the README contents table is trimmed to match.

* docs: archive open-questions and skill-meta-keys
Both are pre-release documents whose outcomes live in the decision log and
the specification. The published SEP links to them by path; a companion
change in modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol repoints those links.

* docs: keep only the decision log and rationale in docs/
threat-model, experimental-findings, findings-template, problem-statement,
and related-work move to docs/archive with index rows. The candidates
tracker and the archived client-support survey are removed in favor of the
official extension client matrix, and links to them are repointed there.
README drops the Why and Problem Statement sections, which duplicate the
SEP's Motivation and the official overview page. CONTRIBUTING routes new
implementation findings to GitHub issues.

* docs: add a concise implementations list
One table each for servers/SDKs and hosts, one line per entry, replacing the
retired candidates tracker and the related-work implementation tables. Seeded
from those plus PR #141 and issue #144.

* docs: replace the interim reference package with the TypeScript SDK row
The @olaservo/ext-skills package is retired in favor of first-class skills
APIs in the TypeScript SDK (typescript-sdk#2798, phase 1 in #2818). The
archived related-work page now points at implementations.md for current
information.

* docs: drop pre-SEP rows from the implementations list
They are already recorded in the archived related-work page; the list now
points there instead. FastMCP stays because its row tracks the migration to v1.

* docs: add official SDK progress, Tachyon, and Inspector 2.6.0 to implementations
From the WG Discord channel and the SDK repos as of 2026-09-15: Go, TypeScript,
Python, and C# SDKs all have open SEP-2640 PRs (Go passes conformance); the
conformance suite merged; Inspector 2.6.0 shipped skills verification; Tachyon
reports a server implementation. Adds an "in progress" status for open PRs.

* docs: sync repo SEP copy with canonical v1 text
The repo-local copy of SEP-2640 had drifted well behind the canonical
text on the sep/skills-extension branch, which was a source of
confusion: it still specified the well-known skill://index.json
resource and predated skills/list, skills/get,
resources/directory/read, nested skills, and per-file digests.
Replace the body with a verbatim copy of the canonical SEP as of
d7490ec (2026-07-15) and swap the stale "not actively maintained"
notice for a disclaimer that states what this file now is: a synced
snapshot, re-synced by overwriting rather than hand-editing, with
review on the upstream PR and anything beyond v1 raised as a PR in
this repository.
Also drop "working draft" from the README and related-work references
to this file, since it is no longer where the text is drafted.
* docs: frame the SEP copy as the v1 baseline for decision-log proposals
The previous note told readers not to propose changes here at all, which
is the wrong instruction: the WG does want to propose beyond v1, just in
this repo rather than on the upstream SEP.
Reframe the file as the v1 baseline and route proposals through the
existing decision log rather than a parallel mechanism. decisions.md
already carries the ADR-lite format, the Proposed/Accepted/Superseded
status idiom, and the precedent for consolidating a version's scope into
one record (the 2026-07-16 v1 entry), so a change beyond v1 is simply the
next dated entry. The note also defines the marker that ties an amended
section back to its record, so v1 text stays distinguishable from
accepted deltas as the document accumulates them.
Align the README and related-work references to the same framing.
* docs: mark the 2026-04-16 URI decision superseded in part
Every other decision the v1 scope-down changed carries a forward pointer
in its status line (2026-04-19, 2026-06-02, 2026-06-05, 2026-06-09). The
2026-04-16 URI entry was left as plain Accepted while three of its
bullets no longer hold, so it reads as current guidance for index.json
enumeration and the no-nesting rule.
Give it the same treatment, naming which bullets changed and which parts
of the URI convention carry forward, so the entry stays useful as a
record of the structure it settled.
* docs: add AGENTS.md and make the SEP PR link prominent
Readers were landing on the repo-local SEP copy and taking it for the
spec, which is how the stale version misled people in the first place.
Say plainly, in the places they land, that the v1 spec text lives on
modelcontextprotocol#2640:
- README: a source-of-truth line at the top of the link block, above
the charter.
- The baseline copy: lead the header note with the PR rather than
mentioning it mid-paragraph.
- AGENTS.md: state the rule for agents working in this repo, along with
how to propose beyond v1 via the decision log and the repo's markdown
conventions.
CLAUDE.md is a one-line pointer to AGENTS.md rather than a symlink, so
it resolves on Windows checkouts too, where symlinks need Developer Mode
and would otherwise land as a stub.
* docs: use the @AGENTS.md import in CLAUDE.md
A markdown link is not an import — Claude Code would have loaded the
pointer line and never expanded AGENTS.md into context. The documented
syntax is @path, which the docs specifically recommend over a symlink
on Windows, where symlinks need Administrator privileges or Developer
Mode.
The maintainer note is a block-level HTML comment, which Claude Code
strips before injecting the file, so it costs no context while staying
visible to anyone opening the file.

* docs: tighten AGENTS.md to the source-of-truth rule
Cut the project overview and conventions sections and lead with what an
agent most needs to get right: the v1 spec text is on the PR, and the
copy here is only as current as its pinned commit. CONTRIBUTING.md
already covers participation and process.
