Focus-GTS Firefly Skills Catalog
A self-updating index of every skill in this plugin. 18 skills are catalogued. This skill is regenerated automatically — scripts/catalog/build-catalog.ts runs on every push and on a daily cron, so it stays in sync with the rest of the repo without manual maintenance.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when:
- You're scoping a new Firefly Services project and want to know which skills are relevant before reading anything
- You're navigating the catalog and want a structured overview without reading every SKILL.md
- You need to find a specific capability (custom models, video, batch processing, brand guardrails, etc.) but don't remember the skill name
- You're onboarding a new engineer to Firefly Services and want a guided reading order
- You're auditing what coverage the catalog has across the Firefly Services surface area
Do NOT use this skill when:
- You already know the specific skill you need — invoke it directly
- You want detailed instructions for a single workflow — read that skill's SKILL.md directly
- You're contributing a new skill — read
scripts/catalog/build-catalog.tsinstead and verify your skill is well-formed

External skills (auto-discovered)
Maintained by their respective publishers; listed for navigation. External skills are published and maintained by their respective publishers, who are responsible for each skill's quality, correctness, and currency. They are listed here so users navigating this catalog can find every known Firefly-related skill in one place.
Adobe Inc. — adobe/skills
Adobe's official skill repository. Listed here so the catalog reflects Adobe-published Firefly-related skills the moment they ship, without manual intervention. Maintained by Adobe; listed for navigation.
How this skill is maintained
This SKILL.md is regenerated by scripts/catalog/build-catalog.ts:
- Trigger: every push to
main, plus a daily GitHub Actions cron at 14:00 UTC. - Source: the YAML frontmatter of every SKILL.md under
plugins/firefly-services/skills/, the planning-track definitions inconfig/planning-tracks.yml, and the external sources listed inconfig/external-sources.yml. - External scan: each external source listed in
config/external-sources.ymlis shallow-cloned (or fetched), filtered by relevance keywords, and surfaced in the catalog with a "maintained by their respective publishers; listed for navigation" note. - Validation: the generator fails CI if any SKILL.md is malformed or if a planning track references an unknown skill.
To add a new track, edit config/planning-tracks.yml and push. To add a new skill, drop a new SKILL.md into a new directory under plugins/firefly-services/skills/; the catalog will pick it up automatically.
