Mohamed Boudra 90feb8050c feat(desktop): auto-update bundled skills on app launch
Skills installed via Paseo desktop never updated after first run, so
users were stuck on already-fixed skill content. On every launch, if
the paseo base skill is present in `~/.agents/skills/`, sync each
bundled skill (incl. `references/`) into agents, claude (via symlink/
junction), and codex — overwriting only files whose content differs.
Files on disk that are not in the bundle are left alone; deprecation
goes through tombstones (e.g. `paseo-orchestrate` redirects to
`paseo-epic`).

Also refreshes the bundled skill set: drops `paseo-chat`, adds
`paseo-advisor` and `paseo-epic`, and turns `paseo-orchestrate` into
a tombstone redirecting to `paseo-epic`.

Adds a desktop test job to CI on Ubuntu and Windows so the
junction/symlink path is exercised on both platforms.

paseo-advisor Spin up a single agent as an advisor — second opinion on the current task. Use when the user says "advisor", "second opinion", "what does X think", or wants an outside take without delegating the work itself. true [--provider <name>] <question or topic>

Paseo Advisor

Single agent. Reads the situation you're in. Gives a judgment. You decide what to do — the advisor doesn't drive the work.

User's request: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

Read the paseo skill — provider for the advisor comes from orchestration preferences unless the user names one.

Picking the advisor

  1. User named one (--provider claude/opus) → use it.
  2. Otherwise resolve from preferences — pick the category that matches the question:
    • Design / approach question → planning
    • "Did I miss something" review → audit
    • "Is this even right" → research
  3. Contrast helps. If your own provider matches what preferences would pick, swap to a different family on purpose — fresh perspective is the point.

The briefing

The advisor has zero context. Make it self-contained:

  • The question, sharply.
  • What you've considered and what you've ruled out.
  • Relevant files by path (don't paste — let the agent read).
  • Explicit ask: "give me a recommendation, with reasoning."

End with the no-edits suffix:

This is analysis only. Do NOT edit, create, or delete any files. Do NOT write code.

Launch and synthesize

Create the advisor agent via Paseo with a [Advisor] <topic> title and the briefing as the initial prompt. Wait for it to finish. Read its response. Synthesize for the user — the advisor's verdict + your recommendation.

Persistent advisor

If the user wants ongoing input ("keep this advisor for the next few decisions"), don't archive after the first reply. Send follow-ups when you need another take. Archive when the user says they're done, or when the topic shifts and a fresh context would serve better.
