Clean and and re-organize repo docs (#146)
* 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historical documents move to docs/archive with an index explaining what each
was and what superseded it: the SEP baseline copy, why-and-when, use-cases,
approaches, skill-uri-scheme, glossary, client-mcp-support (superseded by the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: fix sibling links inside archived open-questions and skill-meta-keys

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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: fix sibling links inside newly archived documents

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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: put tracking links in the Status column of the implementations list

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add a vendor/community category to the implementations list

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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: split the implementations list into SDKs, servers, and hosts

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add MCPJam Inspector to hosts

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Revise implementations table format and content

Updated the implementations table to include language and status columns.

* Correct links and clarify documentation references

Updated links to SEP-2640 and clarified document references.

# Example Implementations
Example servers, SDKs, and hosts that serve or consume skills over MCP. Official client support is tracked on the [extension client matrix](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/client-matrix); this list is broader and community-maintained.
**Status:** `v1` implements the released extension · `partial` implements some of it · `pre-v1` targets an earlier draft · `prototype` fork or demo · `in progress` open PR · `planned` issue only. A link after the status points to the issue or PR tracking the work.
**Category:** `official` maintained by the MCP project · `community` individual or community project · unmarked rows are maintained by the organization behind the product
Implementations that predate the SEP are recorded in the archived [related work](archive/related-work.md) and are not repeated here.
To add or update a row, open a PR. Keep notes to one line.
