After "Use this template": apply the Coal*-skill overlay with node .github/scripts/new-repo.mjs published-code --overlay coal-skill --name <repo> --license <spdx> <target-dir> from a clone of TheColliery/.github, or run new-repo.mjs directly to scaffold instead of using the GitHub UI button — either path fills the same {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens.

Configure

Every tool supports TWO config levels — a global ~/.claude/.{{TOOL_KEY}}.json and a per-project .{{TOOL_KEY}}.json override (project wins) — so a globally-installed skill can be tuned or shut off per project ({{OFF_SWITCH_KEY}}: false).

Permissions

{{REPO_NAME}} {{WHAT_IT_REQUESTS}}. It never {{WHAT_IT_NEVER_REQUESTS}}. Workers get strictly less than main — no spawning, no prompting you directly.

Part of TheColliery

{{REPO_NAME}} is {{ROLE_IN_SERIES}}:

• CoalMine — quality canary suite
• CoalTipple — model/effort router
• CoalBoard — multi-agent consensus board
• CoalHearth — session warm-resume
• CoalFace — fan-out discipline
• CoalWash — memory washer/defragmenter
• CoalLedger — docs-health canary suite

Install one and it stands alone; {{COMPOSE_PROMISE}}. Every tool in the series shares Phoenix-13 hooks, a single-source-of-truth config, and a no-overkill design bar.
