User Impact: Agents receive direct guidance and material actions without needing to understand Ghost's internal mechanics or rewrite the guidance into a separate brief.
Problem: Gather and pull exposed implementation narration that spent model context without changing the next action. The post-pull workflow then required the agent to summarize authoritative guidance before making the artifact.
Solution: Present gather and pull Markdown as compiled instruction surfaces while preserving rich JSON for integrations and diagnostics. Pull now labels applicability, emits direct references and inspection actions, distinguishes images from other binary assets, and places one starting-structure instruction last; the making loop uses that guidance directly.
Validation:
pnpm run quality:all: passedChangeset: added for both public Markdown changes
