What

Model-fact refresh verified against current vendor docs (2026-06-10), plus a structural fix so the skill stops going stale silently.

New: references/models.md

All volatile model facts (IDs, params, version-tied behavior) move into one fact-sheet. Each vendor section carries a last-verified date, and the skill is instructed to re-verify any section older than 60 days before asserting it. This addresses the root cause of staleness — facts hardcoded in evergreen instruction text — rather than just this round's symptoms.

Fact updates (all verified 2026-06-10)

  • Claude: updated from the Opus 4.7 framing to the Fable 5 / Opus 4.8 era — adaptive-only thinking (budget_tokens/sampling params/prefills 400 on 4.7+), effort levels incl. xhigh, and Opus 4.8's behavioral shifts (narrates more than 4.7, asks more often, conservative tool/subagent triggering) with corrective prompt snippets. The old "silent agent → add progress output" advice now backfires on 4.8.
  • OpenAI: the o3/o4-mini section described retired models — ChatGPT consolidated to all-GPT-5 in Feb 2026. Section replaced with GPT-5.4 Thinking/Pro carrying the same reasoning-model rules; GPT-5.5 Instant noted as the default.
  • Gemini: current model is 3.1 Pro (gemini-3-pro-preview discontinued 2026-03-26); added thinking_level and the documented may-guess-when-info-missing caveat.
  • DeepSeek: R1 section replaced by V4 (Pro/Flash, launched 2026-04-24); legacy deepseek-chat/deepseek-reasoner names retire 2026-07-24; V4 supports tool calls inside thinking mode.
  • Kimi K2.5/K2.6 and Qwen 3.5/3.6 added to the fact-sheet.

Template/pattern fixes

  • Template M generalized from "Opus 4.7 Task Brief" to a current-Claude agentic brief (+ autonomy-calibration snippet for 4.8's higher ask-rate).
  • Template E and pattern Tesis posgrado #27 CoT exclusion lists updated to reasoning-native modes rather than retired model names.
  • New pattern برميت #38: prompt hardcodes a retired model or dead parameter.
  • Fixed the corrupted table row at the end of patterns.md (stray schema\" |).

Why the split matters

v1.6.0's facts were correct at commit time and wrong within a quarter — same will happen to this PR's facts. The dated fact-sheet + refresh protocol makes the skill degrade gracefully (re-verify) instead of confidently asserting last quarter's model landscape.

Happy to split this into smaller PRs if preferred.

Verified against current vendor docs (2026-06-10):

- NEW references/models.md: all volatile model facts (IDs, params,
  behavioral quirks) in one place, each vendor section dated, with a
  60-day refresh protocol so the skill re-verifies instead of asserting
  stale facts.
- Claude: updated to the Fable 5 / Opus 4.8 era — adaptive-only thinking,
  sampling params and prefills removed on 4.7+, effort levels incl. xhigh,
  Opus 4.8 behavioral shifts (more narration, higher ask-rate, conservative
  tool/subagent triggering) with corrective prompt snippets.
- OpenAI: o3/o4-mini section replaced — the o-series is retired; lineup is
  GPT-5.5 Instant / GPT-5.4 Thinking / GPT-5.4 Pro. Same reasoning-model
  rules now route to GPT-5.4 Thinking.
- Gemini: current model is 3.1 Pro (3-pro-preview discontinued 2026-03-26);
  added thinking_level and the missing-info guessing caveat.
- DeepSeek: R1 section replaced by V4 (Pro/Flash); legacy deepseek-chat /
  deepseek-reasoner names retire 2026-07-24; V4 supports tools in thinking.
- Kimi K2.5/K2.6 and Qwen 3.5/3.6 facts added to models.md.
- Template M generalized from 'Opus 4.7 Task Brief' to current Claude
  agentic brief; Template E CoT list updated to reasoning-native modes.
- patterns.md: nidhinjs#27/nidhinjs#36 updated, new nidhinjs#38 (retired model / dead parameter),
  fixed corrupted table row at the end of the file.

Implements two upstream ideas on our diverged tree.

Cortex Code (idea from nidhinjs#15):
- add Cortex Code (Snowflake CLI agent) profile to tool-profiles.md
- list it in README "Works with" and the tool table

Dated model fact-sheet (idea from nidhinjs#48):
- add references/models.md — per-vendor volatile facts (IDs, defaults,
  version-tied params, retirements), each section dated with last-verified
  and governed by a 60-day re-verify protocol; fast-moving vendors marked
  "verify" rather than fabricated
- add pattern nidhinjs#38 (hardcoded retired model / dead parameter); 37 -> 38
- SKILL.md: re-verify pointer in Tool Routing, "Stale model facts" gotcha,
  models.md in the Reference Files table
- tool-profiles.md header points to models.md as the volatile-facts layer

bump 1.9.0 -> 1.10.0

….23.0

Generalize the existing `Assumed output format` convention to all
settings-as-knobs profiles (Gamma, Perplexity, Grok, image-AI): the skill
now surfaces the knob defaults it assumed as an explicit, overridable
`Assumed settings:` note line — listing only knobs the user did not set,
each with its value + where to change it — without spending a clarifying
question. Skipped for prose tools with no knobs (DALL-E 3, Flux).

- SKILL.md: Hard rule + Diagnostic + Gotcha preamble generalized (net +0 lines)
- tool-profiles.md: Grok / Perplexity / Gamma / Image AI surface-knobs lines
- templates.md: Template I / K / N / O Assumed-settings notes
- patterns.md: new pattern nidhinjs#48 (count 47 -> 48 across 7 files)
- README EN+RU: pattern count 47->48 + rows nidhinjs#47/nidhinjs#48; Routing Index Gamma+
  Perplexity rows; profile header "50+ tools across 30+ profiles"
- Verified: lint 0/0, opus adversarial gate PASS, clean-room T4 12/12
