Summary

ZeroClaw merged a change that brings its first-party skills into the main repository and makes compact mode the default. The change also introduces skills.enabled and skills.disabled controls that later work can build on for gateway skill management.

What changed

ZeroClaw merged its first-party skills into the main repo and changed the default skills behavior toward compact mode with new enable and disable controls.

Why it matters

Packaging first-party skills inside the core repo reduces registry and distribution ambiguity while making the default runtime narrower and easier to govern. That is a notable tradeoff in a market where agent extensibility often grows faster than maintainability or trust.

Evidence excerpt

The merged change consolidates first-party skills into the repo, defaults to compact mode, and introduces new skills.enabled and skills.disabled config knobs.
