Revert the docs re-sync — quoting SKILL.md text and narrating the change was bad documentation
The two FAQ edits quoted the literal new SKILL.md instruction text and described "now X, replacing Y, intended to fix Z" — implementation-change narration, exactly what .agents/writing-docs.md's "explain the why, not the process" / "never reproduces the SKILL.md steps" rules argue against. It also duplicates content that lives in SKILL.md, which is precisely what caused the stale quote this PR already had to fix once. That story belongs in the changeset/CHANGELOG, not the docs page. Reverted both files to their pre-PR state; the changeset stays as the record of what changed and why. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two known causes. The mundane one: nothing qualified. ADRs need all three gates, and a session about a change with no new vocabulary genuinely has nothing to write. The real bug: when the skill runs inside another orchestration layer — a spec-driven-development wrapper, a multi-agent framework, a rule that invokes it as a step in someone else's pipeline — the file-writing half is reported to silently not happen, while the interview still runs. This is filed and unfixed. If you are in that setup, check the working directory before you trust the session's output.

**It asked everything at once, with no recommendations, and never mentioned `CONTEXT.md`.**
|
||||
That is the skill failing to load its two dependencies. `SKILL.md` is a one-line delegation that now names both explicitly as separate Skill tool calls ("Call the Skill tool twice, for `grilling` and `domain-modeling`") rather than a bare mention, which is intended to raise the hit rate — but an agent that still doesn't pick up [grilling](https://aihero.dev/skills-grilling) and [domain-modeling](https://aihero.dev/skills-domain-modeling) guesses at what grilling means, and you get an undifferentiated question dump. Partial loading is the more confusing case — `grilling` loads, `domain-modeling` does not, and you get a good interview with no paper trail. It correlates with model and [effort](https://www.aihero.dev/ai-coding-dictionary/effort) level, and it has been the most reported problem with this skill. If you suspect it, ask the agent directly which skills it loaded.

**Where did all my other decisions go?**
|
||||
Into the conversation only. This is the most substantive open complaint about the skill: the glossary is not a spec, most answers do not earn an ADR, and there is no ledger tying each resolved answer through to a spec, a ticket and a test. Precise answers — ordering guarantees, negative requirements, numeric defaults — get softened into weaker prose downstream, and the result can look complete while missing the thing you actually decided. The mitigation available today is to keep the session and feed it straight to [to-spec](https://aihero.dev/skills-to-spec), and to re-read the spec against your own answers rather than assuming it captured them.
