Make every stable MCP evidence descriptor route plain clients through quick_start once per session while preserving the loaded-skill exception. Keep local experimental and callable-tool boundaries explicit, align eval mocks, and document that remote-mcp consumes released @githits/mcp behavior.
Use one quick_start prerequisite for every GitHits MCP evidence tool: plain sessions call it once, while sessions with the loaded githits-mcp skill always skip it. Remove local experimental and CLI-skill exceptions, tighten the MCP skill triggers, and document the verified Codex trigger traces.
Separate MCP and CLI skill activation by transport, state the two-path quick-start rule exactly in installed guidance, and add packaging contracts for the trigger boundaries.

Summary
Why
Claude chat surfaces can choose tools from only the tool name and the first 80 description characters. If quick_start is skipped in a plain session, the agent misses shared routing, content, and safety guidance. The bootstrap rule must therefore be visible on every relevant discovery path and remain binary: plain session calls once; loaded MCP skill skips it.
