Conversation
- Strip ~530 lines of UI guide duplication from packages/kilo-jetbrains/AGENTS.md; the jetbrains-ui-style skill is more comprehensive and is now the source of truth. - Move GitHub Issues guidance into a new .kilo/skills/gh-issues/SKILL.md so it loads only when needed. - Collapse duplicated kilocode_change marker examples in root AGENTS.md to a brief summary plus pointer to the kilocode-merge-minimizer skill.

Per feedback, drop the jetbrains UI section trim from this PR. The root AGENTS.md cleanup and the new gh-issues skill stay.

Summary
Cuts ~500 lines from AGENTS.md context by moving content that was duplicated by — or naturally lives in — skills out of the always-loaded files.
packages/kilo-jetbrains/AGENTS.md: 747 → 220 lines. The entire "UI Design Guidelines" section was duplicated bypackages/kilo-jetbrains/.kilo/skills/jetbrains-ui-style/SKILL.md, which is more comprehensive and was already referenced from the top of the file. Replaced with a pointer plus 5 non-negotiables (no Compose, no JCEF, prefer Kotlin UI DSL v2, use platform components, never hardcode colors/fonts/sizes)..kilo/skills/gh-issues/SKILL.md: GitHub Issues guidance (templates, project boards, title rules,gh auth refresh -s projectrecovery) is only relevant when runninggh issue create, so it now loads on demand.AGENTS.md: collapsed the ~50-linekilocode_changemarker syntax block into a 4-bullet summary plus a pointer tokilocode-merge-minimizer(which already covers the same ground in more depth).Why
The argument isn't really tokens — it's attention dilution. Long inline reference material competes with the rules that must land for every code generation (style guide, build commands, fork-merge philosophy). Moving on-demand reference into skills lets the always-loaded layer stay focused on what every task needs.
