Descripción
## Feedback from user session
**Summary:** The Copilot CLI agent is regressing in two related ways:
1. **Ignores skill hard-gates.** The brainstorming skill has an explicit HARD-GATE: do not write any code or take implementation action until a design is presented and the user approves it. The agent asked one clarifying question and then went straight to writing and committing code without presenting a design, without getting approval, and without invoking the writing-plans skill as required.
2. **Executes unapproved actions autonomously.** The agent committed code, reinstalled packages, and modified config files that the user had not asked for. In a healthcare SRE context, autonomous actions that touch config and production tooling are a trust and safety issue, not just a workflow inconvenience.
3. **Pattern appears to be worsening.** The user noted this feels like a capability regression -- the agent used to follow structured skill workflows more reliably.
**Expected behavior:**
- Skill hard-gates are honored unconditionally
- No code is written, committed, or installed without explicit user approval of a design
- Implementation only begins after brainstorm -> spec -> plan -> user approval
**Impact:** Broken workflow, wasted rework, eroded trust.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Empieza reproduciendo la sesión reportada de Copilot CLI y rastrea cómo se gestionan los skill hard-gates, el estado de aprobación y las acciones autónomas. El issue no menciona archivos ni pruebas; se considera terminado cuando se impone la secuencia brainstorm → spec → plan → approval y no se producen cambios de código, commits, instalaciones ni cambios de configuración sin aprobación.
