The source skill was Hermes-specific. The following transformations were applied:

Source element	Destination	Change
SKILL.md (Hermes-specific: artifact pyramid output, skill_view() calls, Kanban references)	Rewritten as thin progressive-disclosure index	Removed all Hermes-specific instructions; rewrote as portable reference table
references/artifact-pyramid-mapping.md	Removed	Hermes-specific output format — not portable
references/customer-interview-guide.md	Removed	Belongs to product-discovery skill, not product-methodology
references/rice-framework.md	Kept	Added attribution to Intercom; content is portable methodology
references/moscow-prioritization.md	Kept	Added attribution to Dai Clegg; content is portable methodology
references/opportunity-solution-trees.md	Kept	Added attribution to Teresa Torres; content is portable methodology
references/decision-log.md	Kept	Content is synthesized practice — no changes needed
references/spec-template.md	Kept	Content is synthesized practice — no changes needed
references/stakeholder-communication.md	Kept	Content is synthesized practice — no changes needed
(new) references/source-index.md	Created	This file
