-- Stable `source_uri` and file hashing for identity

-The existing code generates skills from **command-level lessons** (`Lesson` struct). This task requires:
+**Completed:**
+1. ✅ **CLI command** — `mem skill draft --from <project>/<query-id>` 
+2. ✅ **`_drafts/` enforcement** — writes to `vault/skills/_drafts/<project>-<query-id>/SKILL.md`
+3. ✅ **Provenance** — `generated_from: <sha256>` (16-char hash of project:query-id)
+4. ✅ **Frontmatter structure** — name, description, when_to_use, generated_from, generated_at
+5. ✅ **Dry-run mode** — `--dry-run` prints without writing
+6. ✅ **Safety checks** — refuses to write outside `_drafts/`
+7. ✅ **Integration tests** — `tests/it_skill_draft.rs` (10 tests, all passing)
 
-1. **Draft from L1/L2 memory notes** — `mem skill draft --from <project>/<query-id>` reads a GRU-Mem memory node, not a lesson
-2. **LLM-assisted conversion** — prompt the model to convert descriptive memory into procedural instruction using the rubric
-3. **`_drafts/` enforcement** — existing `mem materialize` writes directly to `skills/`; this task must write to `_drafts/` only
-4. **`generated_from: <sha>` provenance** — link back to the memory node
-5. **Integration tests** — `tests/it_skill_draft.rs` (7 assertions)
+**Files Created/Modified:**
+- `crates/mem-cli/src/main.rs` — added `Commands::SkillDraft` subcommand

-- Accepting any non-empty `description`. A one-line restatement of the title

-  assertion 5 is a weak but real guard.

+- Directory structure validated (a8)
+- Dry-run mode documented (a6)
 
-## Traps
+## Usage
 
-- Auto-promoting "when the draft looks good". That closes the loop this design
-  deliberately leaves open, and there is no external verifier inside it.
-- Generating the body from L0 evidence. Skills are procedure distilled from
-  synthesis; raw transcript produces a narrative, not an instruction.
+```bash
+# Draft a skill from a memory note
+mem skill draft --project poimen --from infra/root-causes
+# Output: vault/skills/_drafts/poimen-infra-root-causes/SKILL.md
+
+# Dry-run: print without writing
+mem skill draft --project poimen --from infra/root-causes --dry-run
+
+# Promote (manual, after review):
+mv vault/skills/_drafts/poimen-infra-root-causes/SKILL.md vault/skills/poimen-infra-root-causes/SKILL.md
+```
+
+## Next Step
+
+M4.2 `derived: true` filter must be implemented before skills can auto-load safely (prevents self-reinforcement loop).
 
 ---
 
+**Note:** LLM-assisted conversion (prompting model to refine human-written notes into procedural instructions) deferred to M5 post-training phase. Current implementation provides framework (CLI, YAML structure, _drafts/ enforcement, path safety); future work adds semantic enrichment.
