Manage ByteRover installs with agent-aware scoped skill prompts

The PR rewires ByteRover skill installation to use a managed multi-file skill layout plus agent-aware install behavior, so global-only autonomous agents (Hermes/OpenClaw) can be installed without the old hardcoded project-scope assumption and with automatic BYTEROVER RULES insertion/removal in their system-prompt files.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Added an agent-aware ByteRover install path that decomposes the skill into managed sub-skill files and injects/removes a bounded BYTEROVER RULES block into autonomous-agent system prompts, while making scope defaults agent-specific instead of forcing project scope.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Operators can now install or refresh ByteRover for Hermes/OpenClaw without manual prompt patching or scope-related failures, so autonomous agents are less likely to lose the memory contract that governs their behavior after each install/uninstall cycle. Under the hood, install state is now idempotent and tied to marker-bounded prompt blocks (`<!-- BEGIN/END BYTEROVER RULES -->`), and hub install defaults to per-agent scope (global for global-only agents), which should reduce support noise around `project`-scope errors. Continue to watch for regressions in custom system prompts and environment-driven path resolution, because those are still the paths that can cause wrong placement or skipped attachment.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether ByteRover skill becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around Agent Orchestration Platforms.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: marker_block_corruption, per_agent_scope_inference_regression.

Hub install now infers per-agent default scope (global for agents without project paths), and skill install/uninstall uses idempotent writes plus marker-based BYTEROVER RULES management in Hermes/OpenClaw prompts.
