The current stripe-projects description has three problems:

It competes with Directory by claiming vague task and component requests such as “I need a database” and “I need hosting.”

It conflates exploration, vendor selection, provisioning, and ongoing project management.

Its long trigger list obscures the most important distinction: explicit execution or existing-project intent.

This conflicts with the stripe-directory skill, which owns external-service discovery and explicitly prohibits provisioning without a user request. Since agents scan the description to select a skill, the discriminating routing rule should come first, as recommended by the skill-authoring guidance.

(Written with Orbit)

This Directory description is so broad that it competes with Projects and can trigger from action verbs even when discovery is already complete.

The routing contract should be:

Directory resolves “who or what should satisfy this need?”
Projects executes “create, connect, or manage the selected service.”
Broad “build an app” intent alone triggers neither skill.
