Mostly, yes. v3 shrinks each skill to a short file that points at the existing
process documents, and moves the Fixes tag rules agents kept getting wrong into
submitting-patches.rst, where humans get them too. What stays in the skills is
agent specific, such as not trusting blame and not making up the reason for a
change.

So hopefully no simple/ translation needed :)
