Phase 6: Curator — Background Skill Maintenance - #141
Merged
Conversation
Port of Hermes's agent/curator.py. Periodically reviews and maintains agent-created skills in .dirge/skills/. Features preserved from Hermes: - Automatic time-based transitions (no LLM): stale after 30d, archived after 90d of inactivity - Skill archiving via rename to .archive/ (recoverable, never delete) - Persistent scheduler state in .curator_state (JSON) - Interval gate: won't run more than once every 7 days - First-run deferral: seeds state without running - should_run_now() check for callers to gate expensive review forks - record_run() for manual curator invocations Strict invariants: - Only touches agent-created skills - Never auto-deletes — only archives - Pinned skills bypass all auto-transitions (future phase) 9 tests: state persistence, interval gating, first-run deferral, archive moves skill, empty/missing dirs handled, record runs. All 1237 tests pass.
