# skill-source

An advisory: it explains, and blocks nothing, on a write to an installed skill copy rather than to its source.

## What it catches

A write to an installed skill copy rather than to its source.

## Seeing it

A verdict names its rule in brackets, which is how you got here:

```text
advise [skill-source]: ...
```

`magus describe rule skill-source` prints the same entry at a terminal, and
`magus describe rules` lists every rule this workspace enforces.
