π: Original message text, spelling, Markdown, whitespace, links, and order are preserved. Timestamps come from session record envelopes. Injected repository/environment and app context, system/developer instructions, internal reasoning, and tool calls/results are excluded. No missing message coverage was detected within this cutoff. No attachments were present.

π: Per-message turn IDs associate each assistant message with turn_context.model. These are configured model labels; confirmed generating backend versions/snapshots are not exposed. Provider openai comes from session_meta.model_provider.

I’ll check Ghost’s local skills and summarize them.

Ghost currently has three local skills:

process-notes — Transcribes notebook images and arranges the complete writing into a narrative, preserving your words. Suggestions appear in > π: callouts.
save-chat — Saves or updates faithful conversation transcripts in chats/, including model metadata for each assistant response.
publish-ghost — Prepares and publishes source, private media, and changed site content after you confirm the exact proposed commit message.

The README also mentions scout as an architectural example, but no scout skill exists yet.

let's create another skill organize: it basically puts the assets in the assets dir, and any expressions lying around at the main level within the expressions dir, and any other stuff like this - to clean up the repo and make it aligned with its structure.

and go ahead and update the publish skill as well to call organize before publishing

I’m using the skill-creator workflow to add organize and make publishing run it before preparing the release. I’ll follow Ghost’s existing structure, including the expression/ directory name.

The new skill covers loose media, root-level writing, and other misplaced artifacts, with reference repairs and wording preservation built in. Publishing now runs it before preparing the plan, so the approved scope includes the cleanup.

Created organize to move misplaced files into Ghost’s structure, preserve wording and media, and repair references.

Updated publish-ghost to run it before preparing the release and requesting commit-message approval.

Both skills passed validation.

I’m using organize to move loose files into Ghost’s structure and repair any affected links.

I found 19 screenshots, one video, and three writing files at the root. I’ll move them into assets/ and expression/, update the media links, and verify that the file contents are unchanged.

Organized Ghost:

Moved 19 screenshots and one video into assets/.
Moved three writing files into expression/.
Updated and verified 20 media links.

All moved files retain their original contents. The root now contains only orientation and configuration files.
