Skills Discovery Assistant

You are helping the user discover and activate relevant skills from their skills library.

Your Task

User's Request: $ARGUMENTS

Follow these steps:

1. Read Skills Catalog

Read the master catalog: Read ../skills/README.md

2. Detect Project Context

Analyze the current directory to understand the project:

# List files to detect project type
ls -la | head -30

# Check for language/framework indicators
ls *.{json,md,go,py,rs,swift,zig,toml,yaml,yml} 2>/dev/null | head -20

Technology Detection → Gateway Mapping:

package.json → discover-frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
go.mod → discover-api (Go), discover-infra
requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, uv.lock → discover-api (Python), discover-ml if ML work
Cargo.toml → discover-wasm if WASM, discover-api for web services
build.zig → discover-zig
*.swift, *.xcodeproj → discover-mobile (iOS/Swift)
Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml → discover-infra
.beads/ → Beads workflow skills (root level)
tests/, __tests__/ → discover-testing
Database files → discover-database

3. Analyze Conversation Context

Review the current conversation for:

Technologies mentioned (frameworks, tools, databases)
Problems discussed (performance, debugging, deployment)
Explicit skill requests
Work phase (planning, implementation, testing, deployment)

Map to gateway keywords:

"REST API" → discover-api
"GraphQL" → discover-api
"Postgres", "MongoDB", "Redis" → discover-database
"Docker", "Kubernetes", "Terraform", "AWS", "GCP" → discover-infra
"CI/CD", "GitHub Actions", "Make", "CMake", "Bazel" → discover-cicd
"TCP", "HTTP/2", "gRPC", "Nginx", "proxy" → discover-networking
"debugging", "GDB", "profiling", "logging", "metrics" → discover-debugging
"caching", "CDN", "Redis cache" → discover-database
"ML", "model", "training", "Modal" → discover-ml
"math", "linear algebra" → discover-math
"compiler", "parser", "AST", "eBPF", "Z3", "Lean" → discover-systems-theory
"diagram", "flowchart", "Mermaid" → discover-engineering
"MCP", "MCP server", "tool protocol" → discover-mcp
"agent", "agentic", "tool use", "task decomposition" → discover-agentic
"WebSocket", "SSE", "CRDT", "consensus" → discover-distributed
"product", "roadmap", "collaboration", "GitHub workflows" → discover-product

4. Provide Contextual Recommendations

Based on the argument provided:

If NO ARGUMENT (default view):

Display in this format:

RECOMMENDED FOR THIS PROJECT:
→ discover-[category]
  Read ../skills/discover-[category]/SKILL.md

→ discover-[category]
  Read ../skills/discover-[category]/SKILL.md

CATEGORIES (410+ skills):
Frontend (8) | Database (8) | API (7) | Testing (6) | Diagrams (8) | ML (30)
Math (19) | Debugging (14) | Build Systems (8) | Caching (7) | Observability (8)
Containers (5) | CI/CD (4) | PLT (13) | Formal (10) | Cloud (13)

COMMANDS:
/skills api              - View API skills
/skills frontend         - View frontend skills
/skills postgres         - Search for 'postgres'
/skills list             - Show all categories

Recommend 2-4 gateway skills that match:

Detected technologies in the current directory
Topics discussed in conversation
Common workflows for the project type

Gateway-First Recommendations:

Format:

RECOMMENDED GATEWAYS:
→ discover-api
  Keywords: REST, GraphQL, authentication, authorization, rate limiting
  Read ../skills/discover-api/SKILL.md

→ discover-database
  Keywords: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, query optimization
  Read ../skills/discover-database/SKILL.md

If ARGUMENT = category name:

Two scenarios:

A) If discover-{category} gateway exists:

{CATEGORY} SKILLS
Total: [N] skills
Keywords: [comma-separated keywords]

KEY SKILLS:
[List 3-5 key skills with one-line descriptions]

LOAD:
Read ../skills/{category}/INDEX.md          # All skills in category
Read ../skills/discover-{category}/SKILL.md # Gateway overview

B) If searching root-level skills: Check for skills like:

skill-*.md (meta skills)
beads-*.md (workflow skills)
Root-level technology skills

Display similarly but note they're at root level.

Example for /skills api:

API SKILLS (7 total)
Keywords: REST, GraphQL, authentication, authorization, rate limiting

SKILLS:
1. rest-api-design - RESTful resource modeling, HTTP semantics
2. graphql-schema-design - GraphQL types, resolvers, N+1 prevention
3. api-authentication - JWT, OAuth 2.0, API keys, sessions

Read ../skills/discover-api/SKILL.md         # Gateway overview
Read ../skills/api/rest-api-design.md        # Specific skill

If ARGUMENT = search term:

Search across:

Gateway skill descriptions (discover-*/SKILL.md)
Category INDEX.md files
skills/README.md catalog
Root-level skill filenames

Display matching gateway categories FIRST, then specific skills:

SEARCH: 'postgres'

GATEWAY:
→ discover-database
  Keywords: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, query optimization
  Read ../skills/discover-database/SKILL.md

SKILLS:
→ postgres-query-optimization.md
  Debug slow queries, EXPLAIN plans, index design

Reference _INDEX.md (it's archived)

6. Graceful Fallbacks

If skills/README.md not found:

Skills catalog not found at skills/README.md

Expected structure:

├── README.md              (Master catalog)
├── discover-*/SKILL.md    (23 gateway skills)
└── {category}/INDEX.md    (Category indexes)

Is your repository in a different location?

If no matches for search:

No skills found matching '$ARGUMENTS'

Try:
- Broader search term
- View all gateways: /skills list
- Browse full catalog: Read ../skills/README.md
- Check a category: /skills api

If empty project directory:

━━━ SKILLS DISCOVERY ━━━

No project files detected in current directory.

GENERAL-PURPOSE GATEWAYS:

  Load: Read ../skills/discover-product/SKILL.md

ROOT-LEVEL SKILLS:
→ beads-workflow.md - Multi-session task management
→ skill-creation.md - Creating new atomic skills

[View all: /skills list]
[Browse catalog: Read ../skills/README.md]

Remember

Read skills/README.md to get accurate information (NOT _INDEX.md - that's archived)
Recommend gateway skills first, then specific skills
Match skills to project context when possible
Keep output concise and actionable
Never modify the skills library
Provide clear, copy-paste commands
