Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill only runs a local Python script to list available skills; it does not invoke destructive commands, network calls, or data exfiltration. The declared allowed tools (Bash, Read) are used solely for introspection, not for harmful operations.

Skill Discovery

Dynamically discover all available skills and subagent types.

Usage

Run the discovery script to list all skills:

python3 .claude/skills/s/scripts/discover.py

Subagent Types

Subagents are spawned via the Task tool. Available types are defined in the Task tool's system description. To see current subagent types, check the subagent_type parameter in your Task tool definition.

Common subagent types include:

  • Explore - Fast codebase exploration, file finding, searches
  • general-purpose - Complex multi-step tasks, research
  • Bash - Git operations, command execution
  • Plan - Architecture decisions, implementation planning

Note: Subagent types are defined by the Task tool, not this skill. Check your tool definitions for the authoritative list.

How Skills Work

Skills live in .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: What it does AND when to trigger (keywords here!)
allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Task
---
  • Triggering: Skills auto-trigger based on keywords in their description field
  • Invocation: Use /<skill-name> or natural language matching trigger keywords
  • Tools: Each skill declares what tools it can use in allowed-tools

Adding New Skills

Use the skill-creator skill: /skill-creator <description>
