Owner

Found during the filesystem sweep in coilysiren/inbox#479. Read-only finding, nothing changed.

What is true on disk

The installed skill tree at /Users/kai/projects/.agents/skills tells agents to run retired ward exec verbs:

tooling-warp/SKILL.md - ward exec warp doctor, ward exec warp apply
tooling-cross-repo-infra/SKILL.md - ward exec sync-mcp-skills, ward exec build-catalog-graph, ward exec sync-native-mcp
mcp-tools-eco/references/tools.md - ward exec sync-mcp-skills
tooling-skill-authoring/references/discipline.md - ward exec gen-caps-reference
compute-stack/SKILL.md - ward exec fleet

Every canonical source is already clean

Checked each one directly. ward exec file count is zero in all five:

coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os/.agents/skills/tooling-warp
coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os/.agents/composed/tooling-skill-authoring
coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-kai/.agents/composed/tooling-cross-repo-infra
coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-kai/.agents/skills/mcp-tools-eco
coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-hardware/.agents/skills/compute-stack

diff confirms the installed tooling-warp/SKILL.md differs from its canonical copy.

Why this is worth fixing rather than noting

This is a stale install on one host, not source drift. The repositories were corrected and the installed tree was never refreshed, so the fix is a re-install rather than an edit to any tracked file. Do not "fix" these by editing the canonical skills. They are already right.

The failure mode is the one coilysiren/inbox#304 names for Ward generally: nothing breaks loudly. An agent reads ward exec warp apply, runs it, and gets a command-not-found rather than a pointer to just. Every agent launching on this host loads these.

ward exec is retired per coilysiren/inbox#366 and complete by archival per #304.

What would close this

The installed tree at /Users/kai/projects/.agents/skills matches its canonical sources for those five skills.
Whatever installs it either refreshes on launch or reports staleness, so this cannot silently recur on the next retired verb.

Not in scope

Editing canonical skills. They are clean.
The justfile headers across the fleet that mention ward exec only to say it is retired. Those are correct as written.
.ward/ward.yaml deprovisioning, which is agentic-os#1329's call.
