commit 6223a25a324ef41f5c4d18662cd989f2af3fb2e4 map588 <map588@pitt.edu> 2026-09-22 02:37:56 -0400 Ship the agent pipeline with ideamine The seven agents and the pipeline skill are a copy of map588/agents, so /ideas-pipeline and /pipeline work without a second plugin. A test checks that each agent names itself and that the skill names each agent.
