SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Organize and codify agent skills using the Meta-Skilling Framework to provide a repeatable method for structuring, composing, and evolving skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines a formal Skill Hierarchy pattern for parent/child skills with cross-links and status tracking.
  • Encapsulates the Meta-Skilling Framework (MSF) with its five phases: Discovery, Practice, Capture, Validation, Iteration.
  • Provides a standardized SKILL.md template and guidelines for sidecar documentation and versioning.
  • Use when you need to design multi-skill workflows, review existing skills for iteration, or decompose domains into sub-skills.

Quick Start

Create a parent skill with one sub-skill and fill SKILL.md following the MSF five phases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure and organize a hierarchy of parent and child agent skills?

To structure agent skills, define a parent/child skill hierarchy with cross-links and status tracking using the Meta-Skilling Framework. This repeatable method codifies skills by decomposing domains into sub-skills and managing cross-linking dependencies.

What is the Meta-Skilling Framework for agent skill management?

The Meta-Skilling Framework (MSF) is a repeatable method for structuring, composing, and evolving agent skills. It uses five phases: Discovery, Practice, Capture, Validation, and Iteration to guide skill development across multiple domains.

How do I document and apply versioning to agent skills?

Document agent skills using a standardized SKILL.md template with sidecar documentation. Apply versioning in the Skill directory and follow cross-skill integration rules to properly codify and evolve the skills.

When should I decompose a domain into sub-skills?

Decompose a domain into sub-skills when you need to design multi-skill workflows or guide iteration from Discovery to Iteration. This approach structures complex domains into manageable parent and child skill hierarchies.

What's the best way to review existing agent skills for iteration?

Review existing agent skills for iteration by applying the Meta-Skilling Framework's Validation and Iteration phases. This method provides a repeatable structure to evaluate, compose, and evolve skills across multiple domains.
