daemon-blockint-tech AI Skill Manager
When to Use
- Inventory skills in a repo or org catalog; find gaps and duplicates
- Audit
descriptionfrontmatter for clear triggers and routing - Add or fix When NOT to Use and Related skills cross-links
- Run batch validation or package
.skillbundles for distribution - Split an overloaded skill or merge overlapping ones
- Deprecate or rename a skill without breaking consumers
- Define governance: review checklist, owners, publish cadence
- Triage security concerns in skill content (secrets, dangerous scripts)
When NOT to Use
- Step-by-step creation of one new skill → use skill-creator (
init_skill.py,package_skill.py) - Design RAG, agents, eval harnesses →
ai-engineer - Model/prompt release ops and cost rituals →
ai-lead-ops - AI regulatory policy registers →
ai-risk-governance - Rewrite prompts inside a domain skill →
prompt-engineer

Core Workflows
1. Portfolio inventory
For each skill directory with SKILL.md, record:
| Field | Source |
|---|---|
name |
YAML frontmatter |
| One-line purpose | First sentence of description |
| Primary triggers | description (not body) |
| References count | references/*.md |
| Has scripts/assets | optional dirs |
Flag: same trigger keywords in multiple description fields.
See references/catalog_inventory.md.
2. Quality gate (per skill)
Before merge or publish:
namematches folder name (hyphen-case, ≤64 chars)descriptionincludes what + when to use + when NOT (peer skill names)- Body ≤ ~500 lines; deep detail in
references/ - No README/CHANGELOG inside skill folder
- Run validator (below)
See references/quality_standards.md.
3. Routing and overlap
When two skills trigger on the same user phrase:
- Pick primary owner of the workflow
- Move triggers into primary
description; add explicit negation in the other - Add reciprocal Related skills rows
- If overlap >30% of workflows, plan split or merge
See references/routing_and_overlap.md.
4. Lifecycle
| Action | When |
|---|---|
| Create | New domain with ≥3 repeatable workflows → skill-creator |
| Split | SKILL.md or references too large; distinct audiences |
| Merge | Two skills always loaded together; duplicate triggers |
| Deprecate | Superseded; keep folder 1 release with redirect text in description |
See references/skill_lifecycle.md.
5. Validate and package
Single skill:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py <path/to/skill-dir>
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py <path/to/skill-dir> ./dist
Entire repo (this skill bundle):
bash ai-skill-manager/scripts/validate_all_skills.sh /path/to/Agentic-Enteprises-Skill
See references/validation_packaging.md.
6. Security and supply chain
Review before org-wide install:
- No secrets, API keys, or customer data in skills
- Scripts: least privilege; no
curl | bashpatterns descriptionmust not instruct bypassing safety or compliance- Third-party skills: same checklist + license note
See references/portfolio_governance.md.
Output standards
- Inventory as table: name, purpose, triggers, overlap risk, last reviewed
- Change proposals: what moves, which skills get updated cross-links
- Deprecation notice: replacement skill name and migration sentence for
