SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", express interest in extending capabilities, or ask why a skill is underused, stale, missing, obsolete, or superseded. Also routes to the portable codex-skills library, including choosing the right installed skill, refreshing installs, and checking drift. Use this when the user is looking for functionality that might already exist as a skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Catalog discovery and local routing: checks the current skill catalog and uses a relevant local skill when available.
  • Library-guided installation: recommends or installs skills from the codex-skills library and assists with drift checks.
  • Adoption workflow support: helps plan adoption, refresh, and upgrade of skills across environments.

Quick Start

Prompt the agent to check the local skill catalog and return a recommended built-in skill or initiate a library search.
