SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an agent has many installed skills, users lose track of what is available and which skill fits a given need. This Skill renders a live, read-only menu of every installed skill grouped by family so users can discover capabilities without guessing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full library menu: Prints every installed skill grouped by taxonomy family order, with a marker showing whether each skill ships a declarative protocol file. - Family drill-down: Accepts a family name, ID, or alias and shows full descriptions, trigger phrases, format, and runtime for that family only. - Need-based matching: Matches a free-text need against live descriptions and trigger phrases to suggest the closest skills without inventing capabilities. - Use Case: A user types "/skills-help" to see all installed skills at a glance, then runs "/skills-help planning" to inspect only the planning family before choosing which skill to invoke. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to list my skills grouped by family so I can see what is installed and pick the right one.

Frequently Asked Questions about skills-help

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I list all installed agent skills?▼

Invoke the skills menu command with no argument to print every installed skill grouped by family. Each line shows a marker, the skill name, and the first sentence of its live description read from its SKILL.md frontmatter.

How do I find which skill handles a specific task?▼

Pass your need as an argument instead of a family name. The skill matches your text against live descriptions and trigger phrases and shows the closest routes, naming the matched phrases that support each suggestion.

What does the diamond marker next to a skill mean?▼

A filled diamond means the skill has both a SKILL.md and a declarative, mechanically validatable protocol.yon file. An empty diamond means the skill has only SKILL.md without a protocol companion.

What happens if the taxonomy file cannot be parsed?▼

The skill reports that the categorized menu is unavailable and lists installed skill names alphabetically under Unclassified. It does not silently fall back to an outdated embedded roster.

Can this skill install or modify other skills?▼

No. It only reads installed metadata and reports it. It does not install, edit, classify, or execute other skills; scaffolding a new skill requires a separate creator skill.
