Subject: [PATCH] refactor(devops): convert install-core-agent from skill to
 agent task
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Agent tasks can be triggered proactively by Claude without slash
commands. Uses haiku model for fast execution. Same rules — go
install from the right directory, never touch binaries directly.

+name: agent-task-install-core-agent
+description: Builds and installs the core-agent binary. Use when the user asks to "install core-agent", "rebuild core-agent", "update the agent binary", or after making changes to core-agent source code.
+tools: Bash
+model: haiku
+color: green
+---
+
+Build and install the core-agent binary from source.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Install from the core/agent repo directory:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/snider/Code/core/agent && go install ./cmd/core-agent/
+```
+
+2. Verify the binary is installed:
+
+```bash
+which core-agent
+```
+
+3. Report the result. Tell the user to restart core-agent to pick up the new binary.
+
+## Rules
+
+- The entry point is `./cmd/core-agent/main.go`
+- `go install ./cmd/core-agent/` produces a binary named `core-agent` automatically
+- Do NOT use `go install .`, `go install ./cmd/`, or `go build` with manual `-o` flags
+- Do NOT move, copy, or rename binaries
+- Do NOT touch `~/go/bin/` or `~/.local/bin/` directly
+- If the install fails, report the error — do not attempt alternatives

-1. Run from the core/agent repo directory:

-2. Verify the binary is installed:

-```bash
-which core-agent

-
-3. Tell the user to restart core-agent (it runs as an MCP server — the process needs restarting to pick up the new binary).
