SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create or update the skill registry for the current project. It scans user skills and project conventions, writes the authoritative registry at .atl/skill-registry.md, and saves to engram when available.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automatically discover all SKILL.md files across user- and project-level skill directories.
Deduplicate by preferring project-level skills over user-level ones to maintain local relevance.
Generate compact, pre-resolved rules for a central Skill Registry that sub-agents can consume without reading individual SKILL.md files.
Persist the registry to .atl/skill-registry.md and optionally mem_save to engram for cross-session access.

Quick Start

Run the registry updater after adding or removing skills to refresh the catalog.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate discovery of SKILL.md files across a project?▼

Automating skill discovery involves scanning user-level and workspace directories for SKILL.md files, deduplicating them by preferring project-level versions, and consolidating the results into a central project-wide registry for sub-agents to consume.

What is a skill registry and why do I need one for my project?▼

A skill registry is a centralized catalog of pre-resolved rules generated from available skills. You need it to provide sub-agents with a compact overview of project conventions without requiring them to read individual SKILL.md files individually.

How do I generate a project-wide skill registry after adding new skills?▼

To generate a project-wide registry, run the registry updater tool. It scans for new SKILL.md files, deduplicates local and user-level versions, and writes the consolidated rules to the .atl/skill-registry.md file.

Does the skill registry support saving catalog updates to engram?▼

Yes, when engram is available, the registry generation process automatically saves the updated catalog to engram using mem_save, ensuring cross-session access and persistence beyond the local .atl/skill-registry.md file.

How are user-level and project-level skills deduplicated in the registry?▼

Deduplication works by automatically preferring project-level skills over user-level ones during the scanning process. This ensures the generated registry maintains local relevance by overriding global configurations with project-specific versions.
