Description: Agents were shoe-horning new content into "somewhat" related skills instead of creating appropriately scoped ones (e.g., adding test suite structure guidance into usethis-python-test-full-coverage, which is specifically about achieving coverage). Changes usethis-skills-modify (v1.1 → v1.2): Added a "Before modifying: check scope" section with three concrete questions to evaluate whether content belongs in a skill, and made scope-checking step 1 in the procedure. Includes a real example of the anti-pattern. usethis-skills-create (v1.5 → v1.6): Added a "When to create a new skill vs. modify an existing one" section with decision criteria. Default: when in doubt, create a new skill. Both skills cross-reference each other so agents hit the guidance regardless of which direction they enter the workflow.
