Summary

Addresses communication drift identified in a PR we received — places where the README and spec made claims that were factually wrong, overstated, inconsistent with each other, or presented opinionated choices as facts.

Changes

  • deterministic language cleanup — spec (§4.1 footnote, §10.8 workflow table) and README (session state section) still used deterministic after PR Replace false determinism claim with accurate reduced-variance language #46 replaced it with reduced variance in the Core Principles table. Aligned all remaining occurrences to consistent and predictable.
  • Stale sidecar claim removed — README still described agents/openai.yaml sidecars after PR chore(skills): remove openai sidecars #60 deleted them.
  • Copilot Code Review caveat corrected — the platform table incorrectly stated Code Review does not support AGENTS.md. It does. Row updated to reflect full Copilot support across VS Code, coding agent, and code review.
  • "Works seamlessly" contradiction fixed — the overview bullet claimed seamless cross-platform support while the very next paragraph acknowledged platform variance. Replaced with honest framing.
  • agentskills.io context added — the link was presented as a canonical documentation reference with no indication it is a third-party community site not maintained by this project.
  • CLAUDE.md comparison corrected — "No layering" was factually wrong; both CLAUDE.md and .cursorrules support nested files. Reframed around the actual gap: no personal/project separation that travels across tools.
  • Template section deprecated — added a callout directing new users to the plugin instead; the template path is being phased out.

Files changed

  • README.md
  • specs/context_aware_ai_session_spec.md

…redictable language

The spec's Core Principles table was updated in PR #46 to use 'reduced
variance' instead of 'determinism', but two spec footnotes and two README
session-state descriptions kept the old term. This aligns all remaining
occurrences with the established reduced-variance framing.

PR #60 removed all skills/*/agents/openai.yaml sidecars but the Codex
section of the README still described them. Remove the sentence since the
files no longer exist.

'does not yet support' implied future support was planned. State the
current limitation factually without making claims about GitHub's roadmap.

…aming

'Works seamlessly' directly contradicted the following sentence that
acknowledged platform variance. Fold the caveat into the bullet and
simplify the paragraph to remove the redundant restatement.

The link was presented without context, implying it was a canonical or
project-maintained source. Add a parenthetical so readers know it is
external and not maintained by this project.

…table

'No layering' was wrong — CLAUDE.md and .cursorrules do support nested
files. The real gap is the absence of a personal-vs-project separation
that travels across all projects and tools. Reframe around what is
actually missing rather than a capability these tools do have.

The README presented both distribution models without explaining the
relationship. Add a brief callout at the top of the template section so
readers understand when each model applies before committing to a fork.

The platform table incorrectly stated that Copilot Code Review does not
support AGENTS.md. Copilot reads AGENTS.md across VS Code, the coding
agent, and code review. Remove the false caveat and expand the platform
label to reflect full Copilot support.

…nstall

The template distribution model is being phased out. Update the callout
at the top of the template section to direct new users to the plugin
instead of recommending the template fork.

Pull request overview

This PR tightens repository documentation/spec language to reduce “communication drift” by removing overstated or outdated claims and aligning phrasing across the README and the session spec.

Changes:

  • Replaces remaining “deterministic” phrasing with more accurate language around consistency/predictability.
  • Removes or corrects stale/incorrect platform and ecosystem claims (e.g., Copilot support, removed sidecar references).
  • Adds clarifying context where external resources or alternatives could be misconstrued as canonical project guidance.

Changed 'consistent, reproducible' to 'consistent and predictable' to
match the replacement wording used in all other deterministic → predictable
changes in this branch (addressed Copilot review comment).
