SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you automatically discover and route to the appropriate agent skills for a given task session, enabling dynamic, context-aware automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Skill discovery: Identify the current task phase and select the most relevant agent skill from the taxonomy.
Orchestration: Sequence multiple skills per lifecycle (idea-refine → spec-driven-development → planning-and-task-breakdown, etc.) to complete complex work.
Guardrails & verification: Enforce core operating behaviors (surface assumptions, manage confusion, push back, verify) to ensure safe, auditable execution across skills.
Use Case: When starting a session, automatically determine which skill applies and apply it, or chain skills for complex workflows.

Quick Start

Identify the task phase and apply the corresponding agent skill from the discovery guide.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically discover and route to the right agent skills for a development session?▼

To discover agent skills automatically, identify the current development phase and let the orchestration engine select the matching skill from the taxonomy to handle the session.

What is agent skill orchestration and when do I need it for complex workflows?▼

Agent skill orchestration sequences multiple skills across a lifecycle to complete complex work. You need it when a single session requires chaining skills like idea-refine, spec-driven-development, and planning-and-task-breakdown.

How do I sequence multiple agent skills across a task lifecycle?▼

Sequencing agent skills across a lifecycle involves mapping the development phase to the taxonomy, then chaining relevant skills consecutively to ensure the complex workflow progresses safely.

What guardrails and verification requirements are enforced during agent skill execution?▼

Guardrails during agent skill execution enforce core operating behaviors like surfacing assumptions, managing confusion, pushing back, and verifying outputs to ensure safe, auditable orchestration across all invoked skills.

Can I use this agent skill discovery mechanism without configuring dependencies?▼

Yes, you can use this agent skill discovery mechanism without external dependencies, as the orchestration engine operates autonomously to identify task phases and sequence matching skills from the built-in taxonomy.

Why should I use automatic skill discovery instead of manually selecting agent skills?▼

Automatic skill discovery eliminates manual selection errors by dynamically identifying the task phase and routing to the correct skill, enforcing verification and guardrails for safe, context-aware execution.
