Description

Doc inaccuracy (LOW)

skills/projex/SKILL.md (branch skill/projex-agent-skill, PR #40), §3
"list", documents the output as:

table: ID | Type | Status | Featured (★) | Name

The actual projex list output is a 6-column table with a leading
(index) column (auto-added by Node's console.table):

┌─────────┬───────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬──────────┬───────────────┐
│ (index) │ ID            │ Type     │ Status    │ Featured │ Name          │
├─────────┼───────────────┼──────────┼───────────┼──────────┼───────────────┤
│ 0       │ 'manual-demo' │ 'manual' │ 'active'  │ '-'      │ 'Manual Demo' │
│ 1       │ 'npm-lib'     │ 'npm'    │ 'shipped' │ '★'      │ 'Npm Lib'     │
└─────────┴───────────────┴──────────┴───────────┴──────────┴───────────────┘

An agent that parses the table against the skill's 5-column list is off by one
column. Also note the cell values are single-quoted in the real output
('manual-demo', '★', '-'), which the skill's column description doesn't
mention.

Suggested fix: add (index) to the documented column list (and note that
console.table prepends it and quotes cell values), or render the table
without the index column.

    Triage (@docs) — verified, LOW, doc-only. Both claims confirmed by literal
    re-execution of projex list on a 2-entry config (manual + npm):

    ┌─────────┬───────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬──────────┬───────────────┐
    │ (index) │ ID            │ Type     │ Status    │ Featured │ Name          │
    ...
    │ 0       │ 'manual-demo' │ 'manual' │ 'active'  │ '-'      │ 'Manual Demo' │
    

    Status:

    Closing when #47 lands.
