Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill only executes a local Python script via Bash to list available skills; no network access, destructive commands, or data exfiltration. It is a safe enumeration tool.

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>
