SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an agent ecosystem contains dozens of optional skills spanning creative tools, productivity apps, social monitoring, gaming, and platform integrations, finding the right skill for a given query becomes slow and error-prone. This Skill provides a navigation index that matches a query against the optional layer and returns a filtered, contract-compliant skill list. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Query-Based Skill Filtering: Accepts a layer name, search query, and context, then returns a skill_list: list[dict] of matching optional skills such as figure-generation, creative-ideation, or claude-design. - Fallback for Vague Intent: When the query is empty or the user has tools but no direction, it routes to creative-ideation instead of failing, returning a clear message rather than an exception. - Domain Hints: Applies strategy genes, for example prompting the conclusion-evidence-panel contract and Nature semantic palette when scientific figure generation is matched. - Use Case: A user on a Linux CLI asks for help generating a research chart; the index returns figure-generation with guidance on the figure contract methodology. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find an optional-layer skill for generating a scientific figure, providing the layer as optional and your query text.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the right skill for a task in a large skill library?

Provide a layer name, a natural-language query, and a context dictionary. The index returns a filtered list of matching skills as list[dict], each with a name and description drawn from the layer catalog.

What happens when a skill search query is empty or vague?

The index does not raise an exception. It returns a clear message stating no related skill was found and routes to the creative-ideation skill, which generates concrete project ideas when the user has tools but no direction.

Which skills are covered by the optional layer index?

The index covers 60 optional skills including creative tools like p5js and manim-video, productivity integrations like Notion and Airtable, social monitoring, gaming servers, and platform-specific tools such as apple-notes and spotify.

Does the skill index handle scientific figure generation requests?

Yes. A query about generating research charts matches the figure-generation skill and includes a hint to follow the conclusion-evidence-panel contract methodology with the Nature semantic color palette.

What are the limitations of a layer-based skill index?

It only returns skills within the specified layer and does not mix in core or meta layer entries. It also does not persist results, manage API keys, or retry failures; those concerns belong to the calling orchestrator.
