# vssa-clients Version-controlled Hermes skill for VSSA client, system, cloud, contractor, and procurement research. ## Source of truth - Gitea: - Branch: `main` - Runtime name: `vssa-clients` - Runtime path: `/opt/data/skills/research/vssa-clients` - Maintainer worktree: `/opt/data/vssa-clients-skill` The runtime path is a symbolic link to this checked-out repository. This prevents a local skill copy from drifting away from Gitea. ## Update workflow 1. Fetch and fast-forward `main` before editing. 2. Modify `SKILL.md` or linked files in this repository. 3. Run `python3 scripts/validate_skill.py`. 4. Review `git diff --check` and the complete diff. 5. Commit and push to `main`. 6. Verify local/remote SHA equality and authenticated Gitea readback of `SKILL.md` plus a changed linked file. 7. Verify `skill_view(name="vssa-clients")` and the VSSA cron attachment. Do not patch a detached runtime-only copy. Client-specific research belongs in the VSSA documentation repository; only reusable investigation procedures belong here.
