Summary

  • Documents ccc describe and ccc guide in the skill, plus an authoring flow for .cocoindex_code/guides.yml.
  • Adds a "Following Hints in Search Output" subsection: when search hits are tagged [summary] or [guide], follow the embedded ccc describe/ccc guide hint rather than running those commands proactively as a triage step.
  • Extends frontmatter trigger phrases to include describe this file and read the concept guide.

This reflects an empirical finding from running the skill across two codebases: an explicit guide-tier triage is net-neutral at best (matched and unmatched guide reads cancel out in aggregate); search-driven discovery — ccc search ranks guide chunks with a follow-up hint — is strictly better (~−34% tools, −26% time vs no-ccc on a 10-question battery).

Test plan

  • N/A (docs-only change to a skill file)
  • CI

Adds two sections to the `ccc` skill:

- `Describing Files and Directories` — `ccc describe <path>` for
  per-file/dir summaries when the path is known.
- `Concept Guides` — `ccc guide [slug]` for cross-cutting
  architectural docs (`.cocoindex_code/guides.yml`), plus an
  "Authoring guides.yml interactively" subsection that gives the
  agent a 5-step collaborative flow (survey → propose → iterate →
  write → generate) and a YAML schema reference.

Inserts a `Following Hints in Search Output` subsection under
search: when a hit is tagged `[summary]` or `[guide]`, follow the
embedded `ccc describe`/`ccc guide` hint rather than running those
commands proactively as a triage step. This reflects empirical
finding that explicit guide-tier triage hurts (matched-vs-unmatched
guide reads are net-neutral in aggregate); search-driven discovery
is strictly better (~−34% tools, −26% time vs no-ccc on a 10-Q
battery).

Frontmatter trigger phrases extended to include `describe this
file` and `read the concept guide`.
