CLI options were being added with abbreviated short forms (e.g.
-o) without explicit user request. The convention is long-form only (--flag) by default. This is an agent guideline, not a codebase invariant, so it is documented in the skill file rather than enforced via an automated test.Changes
.agents/skills/usethis-cli-modify/SKILL.md— Added an "Option flags" subsection explicitly stating: use only long forms; no abbreviated short forms unless the user explicitly requests them. Version bumped1.3 → 1.4.
