What

The artifact-explainer and artifact-report skills, together with their HTML template, and the entire verify skill including its instructions and its CLI and server worked examples, are no longer in the build.

Details
  • No occurrence of "artifact-explainer", "artifact-report" or the verify skill's text remains, so these are removals rather than files moved elsewhere.
Evidence

name: artifact-explainer

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
