From c24e2d8f81f3f60b343ddfcecb3f2b9fb353f2de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Swiger Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 20:15:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add a no-install npx check for plain-clone skill discovery Reviewers without the CLI on PATH can reproduce the plain-clone count with the npm-distributed build. The 39 + 3 split is reported by 1.0.82 from npm and by 1.0.83 installed locally, so it is not specific to one build or install method.
