Applied positive-language documentation rewrites across key docs and skills: - AGENTS.md: converted must-not/never/cannot to positive guidance - docs/HOST-MATRIX.md: converted never/do-not patterns; preserved probe discipline - docs/HIVE-ONBOARDING.md: converted cannot/never/avoid to actionable instructions - skills/systematic-debugging/SKILL.md: converted non-safety negatives; preserved core debugging rules (NO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE) - skills/bootable-usb-images/SKILL.md: converted non-safety negatives; preserved safety-critical rules (never a partition, never silently skip target identification) Changed negative patterns: never→stay/reference/always, do not→use/prefer/send only, cannot→lacks/leaves intact/requires |

Adding skills
Skills are curated from hermes-soul/skills/ after operator review. Only skills that are useful across MULTIPLE harnesses belong here. Hermes-specific skills (cron management, Telegram gateway, voice setup) stay in hermes-soul.
To import a skill:
cp -r ~/hermes-soul/skills/<category>/<skill-name> ~/ai/layered-soul/skills/
Then validate:
python3 scripts/layered_soul.py validate .
