skill-registry

Use the jq command to append an object with name and description to the skills array in assets/registry.json, writing the result to a temp file before replacing the original. This keeps the JSON valid during updates.

Run jq with a select filter, such as '.skills[] | select(.name | contains("term"))', against the registry file. You can also match on description fields or use the prebuilt searchIndex grouped by trigger and directory.

Yes, the registry is designed to integrate with skill-creator. After scaffolding a new skill, extract its name and description from the generated SKILL.md frontmatter and register it using the add command.

Each entry stores the skill name, description, category, file path, scope directories, and auto-invoke trigger conditions. The registry also maintains category groupings and a searchIndex keyed by triggers and directories.

jq updates require writing to a temporary file and replacing the original, so concurrent edits can cause conflicts. It also lacks schema validation, so malformed entries must be caught manually or by external checks.
