three-source-model-for-skills-creates-drift-risk

Maintaining three copies of skills (live runtime at /root/.claude/skills/, local repo at /root/helix/, and GitHub remote) creates the same drift failure mode as the dual ~/.claude.json divergence pattern. Two authoritative sources maximum: live runtime (what Claude Code reads) + remote GitHub backup (disaster recovery). A local intermediate clone is pure duplicity — fully reconstructable from either authoritative source and should be removed.
