Research direction
Start by searching the four named files under .github/skills/ for all pkg/workflow/js/ references, then verify the corresponding paths under actions/setup/js/. Replace the 22 stale references and update the example filenames, then add the requested lightweight Go test or script and run it to confirm no nonexistent pkg/workflow/js/*.cjs paths remain.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Description
Four .github/skills/ files still contain 22 literal pkg/workflow/js/ path references pointing at a directory that was emptied by the actions/setup/js/ migration back on 2026-08-31. This is the third consecutive audit to catch this (2026-08-31 original, 2026-09-16 follow-up, 2026-09-28 today) and the count has grown (20→22), confirming intervening edits keep re-introducing the stale path rather than fixing it.
Verified live on disk today:
pkg/workflow/js/contains only 2 unrelated files (exchange_otlp_workload_identity.cjs,safe_outputs_tools.json)actions/setup/js/(the real shared JS location) holds 862.cjsfiles including all referenced modules
Affected files and exact fixes
.github/skills/messages/SKILL.md(8 refs) — lines 20, 72, 109, 142, 150, 184, 185, 197. Worst offender: line 72 tells agents to create new modules "typically inpkg/workflow/js/"; line 109 gives a concrete non-existent example test pathpkg/workflow/js/messages_my_new.test.cjs..github/skills/javascript-refactoring/SKILL.md(6 refs) — lines 15, 58, 101, 154, 197, 237..github/skills/error-pattern-safety/SKILL.md(1 ref) — line 102..github/skills/temporary-id-safe-output/SKILL.md(1 ref) — line 101.
Fix: replace all 22 pkg/workflow/js/ occurrences with actions/setup/js/ (dropping it as a listed alternative where both paths are currently given), and update the example file names to real paths under actions/setup/js/.
Expected Impact
Stops misleading Copilot/Claude agents into creating new JS modules or test files in the wrong, unbuilt directory whenever they consult these 4 high-traffic "how do I edit safe-output JS" skills. Also add a lightweight regression guard (Go test or script) that fails if any .github/skills/**/SKILL.md references a pkg/workflow/js/*.cjs path that doesn't exist on disk, so this class of drift — now reported 3 times — can't silently resurface a 4th time.
Suggested Agent
Repository Quality Improvement workflow (already owns this audit lineage) or any general code-quality agent — this is a mechanical find/replace plus one new test.
