SkillForge 4.0 - Intelligent Skill Router & Creator

Analyzes ANY input to find, improve, or create the right skill.

Quick Start

Any input works. SkillForge will intelligently route to the right action:

# These all work - SkillForge figures out what you need:

SkillForge: create a skill for automated code review
→ Creates new skill (after checking no duplicates exist)

help me debug this TypeError
→ Recommends ErrorExplainer skill (existing)

improve the testgen skill to handle React components better
→ Enters improvement mode for TestGen

do I have a skill for database migrations?
→ Recommends DBSchema, database-migration skills

TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
→ Routes to debugging skills (error detected)

Triggers

Creation Triggers

SkillForge: {goal} - Full autonomous skill creation
create skill - Natural language activation
design skill for {purpose} - Purpose-first creation
ultimate skill - Emphasize maximum quality
skillforge --plan-only - Generate specification without execution

Routing Triggers (NEW in v4.0)

{any input} - Analyzes and routes automatically
do I have a skill for - Searches existing skills
which skill / what skill - Recommends matching skills
improve {skill-name} skill - Enters improvement mode
help me with / I need to - Detects task and routes

| Input | Output | Quality Gate | |-------|--------|--------------| | Any input | Triage → Route → Action | Phase 0 analysis | | Explicit create | New skill | Unanimous panel approval | | Task/question | Skill recommendation | Match confidence ≥60% |

Production-Ready Agentic Skill

Key principles:

Phase 0 prevents duplicates - Always checks existing skills first
Evolution/timelessness is the core lens (score ≥ 7 required)
Every decision includes WHY
Zero tolerance for errors
Autonomous execution at maximum depth
Scripts enable self-verification and agentic operation

Commands

| Command | Action | |---------|--------| | SkillForge: {goal} | Full autonomous execution | | SkillForge --plan-only {goal} | Generate specification only | | SkillForge --quick {goal} | Reduced depth (not recommended) | | SkillForge --triage {input} | Run Phase 0 triage only | | SkillForge --improve {skill} | Enter improvement mode for existing skill |

Phase 0: Skill Triage (NEW in v4.0)

Before creating anything, SkillForge intelligently analyzes your input to determine the best action.

Decision Actions

| Action | When | Result | |--------|------|--------| | USE_EXISTING | Match ≥80% | Recommends existing skill(s) to invoke | | IMPROVE_EXISTING | Match 50-79% | Loads skill and enters enhancement mode | | CREATE_NEW | Match <50% | Proceeds to Phase 1 (Deep Analysis) | | COMPOSE | Multi-domain | Suggests skill chain via SkillComposer | | CLARIFY | Ambiguous or duplicate | Asks user to clarify intent |

Triage Script

# Run triage on any input
python scripts/triage_skill_request.py "help me debug this error"

# JSON output for automation
python scripts/triage_skill_request.py "create a skill for payments" --json

# Examples:
python scripts/triage_skill_request.py "TypeError: Cannot read property 'map'"
# → USE_EXISTING: Recommends ErrorExplainer (92%)

python scripts/triage_skill_request.py "create a skill for code review"
# → CLARIFY: CodeReview skill exists (85%), create anyway?

python scripts/triage_skill_request.py "help me with API and auth and testing"
# → COMPOSE: Multi-domain, suggests APIDesign + AuthSystem + TestGen chain

Ecosystem Index

Phase 0 uses a pre-built index of all skills:

# Rebuild skill index (run periodically or after installing new skills)
python scripts/discover_skills.py

# Index location: ~/.cache/skillrecommender/skill_index.json
# Scans: ~/.claude/skills/, plugins/marketplaces/*, plugins/cache/*

Integration with Phases 1-4

USE_EXISTING: Exits early, no creation needed
IMPROVE_EXISTING: Loads existing skill → Phase 1 analyzes gaps → Phase 2-4 enhance
CREATE_NEW: Full pipeline (Phase 1 → 2 → 3 → 4)
COMPOSE: Suggests using SkillComposer instead
CLARIFY: Pauses for user input before proceeding

Validation & Packaging

Before distribution, validate your skill:

# Quick validation (required for packaging)
python scripts/quick_validate.py ~/.claude/skills/my-skill/

# Full structural validation
python scripts/validate-skill.py ~/.claude/skills/my-skill/

# Package for distribution
python scripts/package_skill.py ~/.claude/skills/my-skill/ ./dist

Frontmatter Requirements

Skills must use only these allowed frontmatter properties:

| Property | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | name | Yes | Hyphen-case, max 64 chars | | description | Yes | Max 1024 chars, no angle brackets | | license | No | MIT, Apache-2.0, etc. | | allowed-tools | No | Restrict tool access | | metadata | No | Custom fields (version, model, etc.) |

Scripts Directory

Scripts enable skills to be agentic - capable of autonomous operation with self-verification.

| Category | Purpose | When to Include | |----------|---------|-----------------| | Validation | Verify outputs meet standards | Skill produces artifacts | | Generation | Create artifacts from templates | Repeatable artifact creation | | State Management | Track progress across sessions | Long-running operations | | Transformation | Convert/process data | Data processing tasks | | Calculation | Compute metrics/scores | Scoring or analysis |

Script Requirements:

Python 3.x with standard library only (graceful fallbacks for extras)
Result dataclass pattern for structured returns
Exit codes: 0=success, 1=failure, 10=validation failure, 11=verification failure
Self-verification where applicable
Documented in SKILL.md with usage examples

See: references/script-integration-framework.md

Anti-Patterns

| Avoid | Why | Instead | |-------|-----|---------| | Duplicate skills | Bloats registry | Check existing first | | Single trigger | Hard to discover | 3-5 varied phrases | | No verification | Can't confirm success | Measurable outcomes | | Over-engineering | Complexity without value | Start simple | | Missing WHY | Can't evolve | Document rationale | | Invalid frontmatter | Can't package | Use allowed properties only |

Verification Checklist

After creation:

[ ] Frontmatter valid (only allowed properties)
[ ] Name is hyphen-case, ≤64 chars
[ ] Description ≤1024 chars, no < or >
[ ] 3-5 trigger phrases defined
[ ] Timelessness score ≥ 7
[ ] python scripts/quick_validate.py passes
