Arch Studio 1.4.5

• Fix: Claude Desktop installation no longer rejects the plugin. It had discovered teaching and template skill manifests inside the installable skills folder.
• The two learning examples and the Skill Maker template now live under assets/ with non-installable SKILL.example.md filenames.
• The course points to the canonical /as:tasklist skill instead of bundling a second tasklist skill.
• Recursive lint checks now reject misplaced installable manifests, malformed examples, duplicate example names and overlap between canonical skills and examples.
• ascii-name and clean-downloads, which 1.4.4 documented as commands even though they were course examples, are now source examples rather than installed commands.
• Included in this release: one plugin, as, with a shared catalog of 46 skills for Codex and Claude Code. Claude Code also loads 7 specialist agents, 7 rules and 4 hooks.
• Studio and project workspaces, firm and project skills created with Skill Maker, linked project records and portable CSV product data carry forward from 1.4.0; Codex support carries forward from 1.4.2.

• Claude Code native agents and hooks are not available on Codex.
• The 1.5 changes are not yet in the open-source plugin.

• If you used ascii-name or clean-downloads, copy its folder from assets/learn-examples/ into your own skills folder, rename SKILL.example.md to SKILL.md and adapt it as a custom skill.
• No project or studio data migration is required.
• Codex: codex plugin marketplace add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects, then codex plugin add as@skills-for-architects.
• Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects, then claude plugin install as@skills-for-architects.
