SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps maintain a clean, discoverable skill registry when skills are added, removed, or updated across directories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Registry Rebuilds: Recreate the full index of available skills from source directories.
  • Targeted Indexing: Index a specific skill folder when only part of the registry changes.
  • Search and Validation: Find skills by keyword and check index integrity to catch drift or missing metadata.
  • Use Case: When a new skill is added to the registry, use this Skill to refresh discovery data so agents can find the latest capabilities without manual bookkeeping.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to rebuild the registry index so all skills are freshly discovered and validated.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-indexer

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I rebuild a skill registry index after adding or updating skill directories?▼

To rebuild a skill registry index, parse the updated SKILL.md frontmatter across source directories to recreate the full discovery list. This refreshes metadata synchronization so agents can find the latest capabilities without manual bookkeeping.

What's the best way to keep skill metadata searchable across a multi-skill repository?▼

Keeping skill metadata searchable requires applying per-skill indexing to specific folders when changes occur. This updates the registry discovery data and supports keyword search so agents can locate capabilities accurately.

Can I index a specific skill folder instead of rebuilding the entire registry?▼

Yes, you can perform targeted indexing on a specific skill folder when only part of the registry changes. This updates only the modified skill's metadata in the index without processing the entire directory structure.

How does skill indexing validate index integrity and catch metadata drift?▼

Skill indexing validates index integrity by checking parsed SKILL.md frontmatter against the existing registry. This catches missing metadata or drift between the source directories and the indexed discovery data.

Do I need to parse SKILL.md frontmatter manually for keyword search and discovery?▼

No, parsing SKILL.md frontmatter is handled automatically during the indexing workflow. The extracted metadata populates the registry to enable keyword search and maintain consistent discovery across directories.
