# Changelog — KSC skill

## [1.0.1] — 2026-07-06

### Fixed
- Shortened the `SKILL.md` frontmatter `description` below the 1024-character limit enforced by Claude Skills (reported by a user during installation). The triggering function is preserved — institutions, flagship cases, founding instruments, and the verification-first rule remain; the exhaustive enumerations live on in the skill body and references.

## [1.0.0] — initial release

### Added
- `SKILL.md` — entry point, verification-first discipline, standard workflow, four-tier institutional architecture, the unique "Kosovo court relocated to The Hague" status, source hierarchy, citation format, the principal cases table (Mustafa, Shala, Gucati/Haradinaj, Thaçi et al., the administration of justice case), reparation orders as a substantive feature, audit mode, sensitive contexts
- `references/foundational-texts.md` — Article 162 of the Kosovo Constitution (Amendment 24), Law 05/L-053 (Articles 1, 3, 6-9, 10, 12, 13-18, 22, 30-31, 34, 38-43), Rules of Procedure and Evidence (Rules 113, 130, 152, 168, 173-178, 180-181), Host State Agreement (2016)
- `references/authoritative-sources.md` — Tier 1 (scp-ks.org, legal-tools.org, Council of Europe Marty Report), Tier 2 (Karnavas, BIRN, HLC, JusticeInfo.net, KSC Watch), languages (English/Albanian/Serbian)
- `references/citation-format.md` — case-number anatomy (KSC-BC, KSC-CA, KSC-SC, KSC-CC), party-designation conventions, principal cases table with status, names-and-spellings discipline (Thaçi diacritic)
- `references/verification-workflow.md` — fallback ladder, six KSC-specific traps (KSC is a Kosovo court not international tribunal; no "Statute" — use "Law"; Thaçi awaiting judgment; two distinct Thaçi cases; reparation orders distinct; Marty Report is parliamentary not judicial)
- `references/jurisprudence-map.md` — six sections on KSC jurisprudence as of 2026: institutional architecture, Marty Report and jurisdiction, the first trial judgments (Mustafa, Shala, Gucati/Haradinaj), pending Thaçi et al., emerging substantive doctrine (NIAC findings, modes of liability, reparations, contempt, victim participation), Constitutional Court Chamber
- `examples/example-verification.md` — verifying the Shala Reparation Order (€208,000, 29 November 2024)
- `examples/example-audit.md` — two audits illustrating the "KSC convicted Thaçi" error and the "KSC Statute" misnomer

### Skill scope at v1.0.0
- Covers the KSC and SPO as actively operating institutions (the KSC is the most active hybrid tribunal as of 2026)
- Encodes the same verification-first methodology as the other skills
- Specifically equips the user to handle the KSC's institutional novelty (Kosovo court relocated to The Hague; no Statute; reparation orders against convicted persons; Constitutional Court Chamber)
- Maps the four concluded cases (Mustafa, Shala, Gucati/Haradinaj, Januzi/Bahtijari/Haxhi Shala) and the two ongoing/pending cases (Thaçi et al. principal, Thaçi et al. administration of justice)

### Known limitations
- The KSC is actively operating; the case status changes regularly. Verify against scp-ks.org for current state of any specific case before citing.
- The Thaçi et al. judgment will, when issued, substantially develop KSC jurisprudence on crimes against humanity and modes of liability. A v1.1 release will follow the judgment.
- KSC procedural decisions are voluminous; the skill maps principal decisions only. Specific interlocutory matters require case-by-case verification.
