mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Role Responsibility
[Role] [Specific responsibility]

5. Required Materials / Tools / Access

  • [Item]

6. Procedure

10. Document History

Version Date Author Changes
1.0 [Date] [Name] Initial release

Quality Checks

  • All steps written in imperative form ("Open...", "Navigate...", "Confirm...")
  • Each step has exactly one action
  • Role specified for every step
  • Quality checkpoints at critical stages
  • Non-conformance process defines who to notify and how to document
  • Document history table and review date are included

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an SOP for [process]"
  • "Create a standard operating procedure for [task]"
  • "Write a work instruction for [process]"

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write steps that contain more than one action — each step must be a single, auditable action in imperative form
  • Do not omit a role from any step — every action must be assigned to a specific role or the SOP cannot be enforced
  • Do not skip the non-conformance section — an SOP without a deviation process cannot meet audit or regulatory requirements
  • Do not produce an SOP without a review date and version history — undated documents cannot be relied upon for compliance
  • Do not use passive voice in procedure steps — write "Open the system" not "The system should be opened"
