* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* Add why-and-when doc explaining value proposition and decision guide
Adds docs/why-and-when.md covering why skills over MCP matters (same
channel as tools, discovery, dynamic updates, control model, multi-server
composition, enterprise distribution) and when MCP distribution adds
value vs simpler alternatives. Linked from README and problem-statement.

* Add why-and-when summary to README before problem statement
Gives newcomers the value proposition immediately: skills are context,
MCP is a context protocol, and remote MCP servers can serve tools and
know-how together. Links to the full doc for depth.

* Add portable sub-agent point to why-and-when doc
Skills over MCP replaces the pattern of independently wrapping each
MCP server in a custom sub-agent with hand-written instructions —
the server author ships orchestration guidance once, everyone benefits.

* Acknowledge enterprise trust trade-offs in both directions
Address PR feedback: git-based and MCP-based skill distribution each
raise different governance concerns. Link to open question on security
and trust boundaries.

* Add decision log with ADR-lite format (#49)
Create docs/decisions.md seeded with 6 historical decisions reconstructed
from closed issues and meeting notes. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with guidance
on when to add decision log entries and add to README documents table.
* Address review feedback: reframe Decision 1 scope, fix relative links
* Update meeting notes and discussion links to main MCP repo
Meeting notes are published in the main modelcontextprotocol repo
discussions, not in this IG repo. Update CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md
to reflect this and note that future meetings/surveys are posted in
the Discord channel.
