Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Current downstream workaround

A local downstream patch adds a profile-level dedupe helper for the heavy shared skill case and keeps profile skill copies symlinked to the canonical install.

Problem

Profile clone/sync workflows can duplicate large shared skill directories into every named profile. Heavy skills with bundled dependencies or browser tooling can add gigabytes per profile and cause avoidable disk growth.

Expected behavior

Profile operations should preserve or create symlinks for known shared/heavy skill directories when the profile copy matches the canonical default-profile copy, instead of materializing duplicate trees.

Current downstream workaround

A local downstream patch adds a profile-level dedupe helper for the heavy shared skill case and keeps profile skill copies symlinked to the canonical install.

Notes

This issue is about safe deduplication during profile operations, not deleting arbitrary profile-specific skills.
