## Session Summary

Short "where did we leave off" review of the two forum-related skills; ended before any work
started (session lost to reboot at the prioritization question).

- **ask-forum**: hardening pass complete as of commit `0a43892` — all code-review findings
  addressed (pagination, error recovery, UTF-8 safety). Functionally complete and deployed.
  Open items: Discord bot lacks *Manage Threads* permission (needs a grant from Mike) so it
  cannot clean up threads; no restart-safety (cannot capture answers after the session that
  asked the question closes).
- **forum-post**: NOT a complete skill — has a script (`flarum-post.py`) and a command
  definition but no `SKILL.md` / full skill structure.

No uncommitted changes or pending coord todos for either skill.

## Pending / Incomplete Tasks

- Decide priority: finish `forum-post` as a full skill (add SKILL.md, structure) vs. add
  ask-forum restart-safety.
- Get *Manage Threads* permission granted to the Discord bot (Mike) for ask-forum thread
  cleanup.
