# RFC: Drop unconsumed skill provider events
|
||||
|
||||
Status: implemented
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Two skill-registry notifications are produced but have no production listener. The generated producer/consumer matrix and exact event-name searches find only declarations, emit sites, tests, generated catalogs, and prose for `skill/provider-added` and `skill/provider-removed`.
|
||||
|
||||
Skill discovery reads the current provider map on demand, provider registration synchronously clears completed catalogs, and the post-await revision check prevents stale discovery from entering the cache. No sibling plugin waits for a skill provider through these events, unlike the live `subagent/provider-added` consumer that tolerates concurrent sibling loading.
|
||||
|
||||
`tools/change` and `system-prompt/change` are explicitly outside this proposal. Existing simplification decisions retain them as intentional observation points for live tool and prompt UIs, and self-referential mounted plugins already use `tools/change`. This proposal also leaves `subagent/provider-added`/`removed` unchanged because `tool-subagent` has a production lifecycle consumer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
The skill registry declares and emits no provider-membership events. Provider registration and disposal remain direct effect-owned state changes that synchronously invalidate completed catalogs; lookup and discovery read the current provider map on demand. Tests observe cleanup through provider lookup and collected output rather than lifecycle notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
The generated event catalog, API catalog, and producer/consumer matrix omit the deleted notifications. The skill-system RFC and package documentation describe registration through its direct effect-owned state and cache-invalidation contract.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep skill-provider notifications for future plugins.** A third-party plugin could observe provider availability, but direct provider registration and on-demand lookup are the extension contract; no current consumer needs a push signal. If a future sibling-load race appears, it can introduce a notification with the identity and readiness semantics that consumer requires, as the subagent registry did.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
The generated event matrix contains no row for `skill/provider-added` or `skill/provider-removed`. Skill discovery, direct runtime registration, provider effect rollback/disposal, cache invalidation, and registry lookup cleanup remain; listener-triggered rollback disappears with the events. `tools/change`, `system-prompt/change`, and the consumed subagent provider lifecycle events are unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-release consumers lose skill-provider observation points while retaining both ways to contribute skills: direct runtime registration and provider registration. A future consumer that needs live provider availability must add a purpose-built notification with the identity and readiness semantics it actually requires.
