progressive-disclosure-split-looks-like-content-loss
During audits, skills that appear smaller (fewer bytes in SKILL.md) may have undergone progressive-disclosure splits — content moved to docs/references/ subdirectories. Reporting this as loss is incorrect; total content (SKILL.md + all referenced docs) grew in every confirmed case. Always check byte totals across the whole skill directory, not just SKILL.md, before declaring content loss in an audit.
