<!--
Maintainer note: this skill uses `user-invocable: false` (hide from the /
menu) rather than `disable-model-invocation: true`, because the latter blocks
preload via subagent `skills:` frontmatter (per Claude Code docs). Do not
change to disable-model-invocation without re-reading the subagents docs.

These paths are authoritative for all document searches in this project. If
a key is missing from the resolved list below (e.g. bang preprocessing was
disabled or failed), fall back to the plugin default shown in the legend.

!`accelerator config paths --fail-safe`

## Path legend

- `research_design_inventories` — design-inventory artifacts, one directory per snapshot (default: `meta/research/design-inventories`)
- `research_design_gaps` — design-gap analysis artifacts (default: `meta/research/design-gaps`)
- `decisions` — architectural decision records for the codebase (default: `meta/decisions`)
- `prs` — PR descriptions for landed changes (default: `meta/prs`)
