using-agent-skills

What problem does it solve? Agents working in this repository need a consistent way to discover which local skills exist and which ones apply to a given task, avoiding invented skill references and missed mandatory workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Selection Contract: Defines a mandatory six-step process for identifying the task type, inspecting the local skill catalog, and loading only relevant SKILL.md files. - Routing Catalog: Maps situations like planning, requirements changes, audits, and subsystem work (Rust, C#, WinUI, graphics, CI/CD) to the correct top-level skills and sub-skills. - Verification and Boundaries: Enforces a verification contract per selected skill and prevents plan skills from being activated for ordinary non-trivial tasks. - Use Case: When asked to modify the Rust DSP engine, the agent consults this skill, selects the rust skill and its applicable sub-skills, records the selection, and runs the required verification before making changes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to select the applicable repository skills for your task before it begins any consequential work.
