`manifest` is the authority; this table is a summary of it.
## The three kinds
`link` and `copy` mean what they say: one symlink, or one copy made only if the
destination is empty. `linkdir` is the third, and it exists because one
destination is no longer only ours.
Panama ships its own agent skills now (`skills/`, linked by
`setup/scripts/link-skills`), and they go to `~/.claude/skills` — the same
directory the personal ones went to as a single symlink. A directory cannot be
a symlink to two places, so that entry became `linkdir`: the destination is a
real directory, and each child of `user/agents/skills/` is linked into it
individually. `~/.agents/skills` is still a whole-directory `link`, because
nothing else claims it.
Two consequences, recorded rather than fixed:
- **A personal skill named like a shipped one shadows it.** `link-user` runs
after `link-skills` and displaces what it finds, so the personal one wins.
That is the intent, and it is the precedence Claude Code uses anyway.
- **A new personal skill needs a re-link to appear.** The whole-directory link
showed a newly created skill instantly; per-child links do not know about a
child that did not exist when they were made. Run `panama update` or
`setup/scripts/link-user` after adding one.
## It is off unless you say yes
The installer asks, naming the destinations, and the default is no. Nothing here
