 The skills → sources migration in [#8675](https://github.com/block/goose/pull/8675) is the clearest illustration of the rule. **It deleted 319 lines of Tauri-command code in `src-tauri/src/commands/skills.rs` and replaced them with ACP custom methods.** If you find yourself wanting to add an `invoke()` command that proxies to `goose`, that PR is what "doing it the other way" looks like. Copy this shape when adding new endpoints:
 
-1. **Define the request/response in `crates/goose-sdk/src/custom_requests.rs`.** Use the `JsonRpcRequest` / `JsonRpcResponse` derives and the `#[request(method = "_goose/<area>/<action>", response = ...)]` attribute. Sources uses namespaced methods like `_goose/sources/create`, `_goose/sources/list`, `_goose/sources/update`, `_goose/sources/delete`, `_goose/sources/export`, `_goose/sources/import` with paired request/response structs (`CreateSourceRequest` / `CreateSourceResponse`, etc.).
+1. **Define the request/response in `crates/goose-sdk/src/custom_requests.rs`.** Use the `JsonRpcRequest` / `JsonRpcResponse` derives and the `#[request(method = "_goose/<area>/<action>", response = ...)]` attribute. Sources uses namespaced methods like `_goose/sources/create`, `_goose/sources/list`, `_goose/sources/update`, `_goose/sources/delete`, `_goose/sources/export`, `_goose/sources/import` with paired request/response structs (`CreateSourceRequest` / `CreateSourceResponse`, etc.). Keep the docs on those structs aligned with the implementation: today `_goose/sources/list` is still skill-only; create/import take an explicit target scope (`global`, plus `projectDir` for project sources), while update/delete/export operate on an existing skill by absolute `path`.
 2. **Implement the handler in `crates/goose-acp/src/server.rs`** with `#[custom_method(YourRequest)]`. Keep it thin: unpack the request, call into the `goose` crate, wrap the result. The sources handlers are ~5 lines each — e.g. `on_list_sources` just calls `goose::sources::list_sources(...)` and returns the typed response. Errors map to `sacp::Error::invalid_params()` / `internal_error()`.
 3. **Put the real logic in the `goose` crate.** Sources lives in `crates/goose/src/sources.rs` — filesystem CRUD, frontmatter parsing, scope resolution, all of it. `goose-acp` knows nothing about where skills are stored on disk; it just forwards typed arguments. This separation is the point.
 4. **Regenerate the SDK.** The TS methods on `GooseClient` are generated into `ui/sdk/src/generated/`. Do not hand-edit generated files.
