# Session Log — 2026-03-17

## Summary
Fixed the `/housekeeping` skill aborting mid-run because info-gathering scripts (`unreflected-logs`, `git-status-report`, `check-skills`, `validate-skill`) exit with code 1 as a status signal, which the skill's `!`command`` syntax treated as a failure.

## Decisions
- Decision: Append `|| true` to all four bang-command invocations in the housekeeping skill — Rationale: These scripts use exit 1 to signal "issues found" (not errors), and the skill is read-only/informational, so suppressing the exit code is safe.

## Gotchas Discovered
- **[skills]** Symptom: `!`command`` in SKILL.md fails when the command exits non-zero, even if the output is valid and informational — Fix: Append `|| true` to bang-commands that use exit codes as status signals rather than error indicators.

## Key Context
- All four scripts in `small-scripts/scripts/` (`git-status-report`, `unreflected-logs`, `check-skills`, `validate-skill`) follow the same pattern: exit 0 = all clear, exit 1 = issues found. This is correct for CLI tools but incompatible with skill bang-command syntax without `|| true`.
