SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Choosing and combining AI Agent Skills for a multi-step goal is hard: registries are incomplete, Skills overlap or conflict, and installing unvetted third-party Skills carries security risks. This Skill turns a natural-language goal into the smallest compatible, audited Skill Stack with controlled installation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dynamic workflow derivation: Decomposes the user's end goal backward into steps with clear inputs, outputs, access boundaries, and success conditions, instead of forcing a fixed template.
  • Multi-source discovery and ranking: Searches the local Skill index, registries (skills.sh, agentskill.sh), GitHub, and OpenCLI through four query lenses, then ranks candidates with hard safety gates and a weighted rubric including community adoption.
  • Audited, consent-based installation: Provides staged dry-run installation with file fingerprints, conflict analysis, project Skill Stack profiles, SVG recommendation cards, and a post-install recall check.
  • Use Case: A user says "help me run a weekly content workflow." The Skill derives the actual steps, finds a primary Skill plus a fact-check helper, verifies both pass safety checks, and installs them into a project-local profile only after approval.

Quick Start

Use the agent-skill-stack skill to turn my goal into a minimal, compatible, project-specific Skill Stack and explain the recommendation in plain language.

Frequently Asked Questions about agent-skill-stack

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the right AI Agent Skills for a multi-step workflow?

Derive the workflow backward from the final result, then search each uncovered capability through four lenses: direct need, underlying operation, supporting outcome, and connection method. Search the local Skill index first, then registries, GitHub, and OpenCLI.

How do I check if a third-party Skill is safe to install?

Read the full SKILL.md and every executable file without running them, checking for credential access, unexpected uploads, destructive commands, and hidden instructions. Run a safe trial only with dummy data that cannot mutate real external accounts.

What is a project Skill Stack profile?

A project Skill Stack profile is a JSON file at .codex/skill-stack.json that records active Skills and intent-to-Skill routing rules for one project. It makes the project stack the first choice and stores no prompts or usage history.

How are Skill conflicts and overlaps resolved?

Conflicts are checked across identity, activation, instructions, resources, dependencies, data formats, permissions, and compliance. Resolution selects one primary Skill, defines narrow handoffs to helpers, keeps alternatives mutually exclusive, or skips redundant candidates.

When should I not use this Skill?

Do not use it to locate one known or common Skill; a generic find-skills workflow is better for that. It is designed for assembling and auditing a full stack for a multi-step goal, not single-Skill lookup.
