🎯 Changes

Documents the maintainer command workflow in #258 and selected repository skill distribution in #260. Replaces the scaffold guide with maintainer setup, add, status, sync, review, and check, and updates the quick start, registry guide, source-review reference, CI reference, and navigation.

Explains the shared planning records, package-owned skill paths, and saved distribution selection or opt-out. Consumers can use installed package guidance through Intent, selected GitHub skill-install commands, or native plugins. Discovery guidance covers library fit and setup, then hands API implementation to the installed version's skills and source.

Keep this PR open until the maintainer release work is complete. It depends on #258 and #260; stable CLI version pinning remains a separate release decision.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e0e00

This documentation update can direct non-React users to an unavailable React-specific skill and omits a validate option constraint. Correct the framework-specific load examples and complete the validate option reference before merging.

In `@docs/cli/intent-setup.md`:
- Around line 53-56: Update the workflow notes around the check-skills.yml
description to match the generated workflow: restrict pull-request triggers to
changes under skills/** or _artifacts/**, document intent validate
--github-summary, remove references to review state, intent-maintainer, and
intent review --base, and state that release/manual runs use intent stale
--github-review with the reminder PR created or updated only when has_review is
true.

In `@docs/cli/intent-stale.md`:
- Line 37: Update the stale-output documentation to match runStaleCommand:
remove the claim that text output includes a command loading generate-skill,
including the “Review the findings” instruction, unless the text-output branch
is explicitly updated to emit that command.

In `@docs/overview.md`:
- Line 104: Update the overview’s description of the validate command to include
validation of domain_map.yaml, skill_spec.md, and skill_tree.yaml, matching the
scope documented in docs/registry.md while retaining the existing SKILL.md and
packaging-warning checks.

In `@docs/registry.md`:
- Line 57: Update the wording in the section introducing the review, stale, and
setup commands to identify review and stale as the two checks, while describing
setup as optional CI workflow installation rather than a check.

🌐 Web query:

GitHub TanStack intent pull request 258

💡 Result:

There is no single "TanStack" repository on GitHub; instead, TanStack maintains multiple repositories (e.g., TanStack/db, TanStack/router, TanStack/query). Consequently, pull request #258 refers to different changes depending on the specific repository [1][2][3]. In the TanStack/db repository, pull request #258, titled "enable live queries to use indexes on collections for where clauses," was merged on July 21, 2025 [1]. This pull request implemented functionality to allow live queries to utilize indexes on collections for 'where' clauses, pushing clauses that touch a single collection directly to the subscription [1]. If you were referring to a different repository, please note that pull request numbers are scoped per repository and do not uniquely identify a single pull request across the entire TanStack organization [1][2][3].

Document --set-version in the validate reference.

The validate CLI supports --set-version <version> and rejects it with --check, but docs/cli/intent-validate.md omits this option from all six usage lines and the options list. Add the option and its constraint.

Use a framework-valid skill target in each tab.

All six framework entries load @tanstack/react-query#core. The non-React entries can point users to a package that is not installed for their framework, so the documented quick-start command can fail. Use framework-specific package and skill pairs, or use a clearly framework-neutral placeholder and require users to substitute an installed skill.
