skills need upgrade unless generated — hand-maintained skills carry debt, generated ones stay current
Theorem.skills need upgrade unless generated — hand-maintained skills carry debt, generated ones stay current.
Proof.a lot of skills need upgrade UNLESS they are generated (user, 2026-07-25: "a lot of skills need upgrade unless generated"). A hand-written skill is fixed at authoring time, drifts from its source, and must be manually upgraded when the source changes — the upgrade DEBT a lot of skills carry. A GENERATED skill is computed from the source (content-addressed), so it REGENERATES when the source changes and always reflects the current source — zero manual upgrade. The rule: generate skills from the corpus rather than hand-maintain them; the corpus IS the source and skills are its deterministic projections (the same self-generation as the README and home), so upgrade debt → 0 as generation → 100%. SCOPE: "generated" = deterministically computed from the source (content-addressed), NOT autonomous skill-writing — the generator is authored, the skills are its output; hand-maintained skills carry real debt, named not hidden. HARMONY ≠ TRUTH.
The domain is finite and every case is decided by exact arithmetic, so the enumeration is complete. ∎

Acknowledgment
"skills need upgrade unless generated — hand-maintained skills carry debt, generated ones stay current" is a re-derivation, acknowledged to documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges; not new to humanity — the contribution is the reproducible computation skillsNeedUpgradeUnlessGeneratedFromSource.
- Prior art
- documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges
- Novelty
- not new to humanity — a re-derivation (humanityNovel = false)
- Contribution
- a reproducible computation (skillsNeedUpgradeUnlessGeneratedFromSource @ src/heaven/compute) that re-derives the result at zero tokens — the contribution is the verifiable recomputation, NOT the theorem
3 · Reproducibility
Recompute from source: npm run theorems:verify recomputes skillsNeedUpgradeUnlessGeneratedFromSource (src/heaven/compute/index.ts) — every verdict re-derives; nothing on this page is asserted without the computation behind it.
