It does **not** list every skill. Instead, it teaches the framework's mental model and gives you **curated search phrases** that map to `aiwg discover` lookups. ## Canonical access pattern: discover → show When you find a candidate via `aiwg discover`, fetch its body with `aiwg show `. **Never** use `find`, `ls`, `Glob`, or direct `Read` on `/skills/` paths — those reflect the kernel-pivot deploy state, not the full surface. ```bash aiwg discover "" # find — returns ranked candidates aiwg show skill # fetch — streams the SKILL.md body ``` If your platform's Skill tool errors on a non-kernel skill (expected — most aren't kernel), the fallback is `aiwg show`, never filesystem browsing. Last-resort if `aiwg` itself is broken: read directly from `$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/...` (the canonical corpus, always present). ## How to use this quickref 1. Identify the **capability domain** the user's need belongs to 2. Pick a **curated phrase** from that domain (or paraphrase the user's words) 3. Run `aiwg discover ""` and surface the top match (or top-3) to the user **Do not enumerate skills from memory.** Discovery is the lookup surface. ## What this framework is for End-to-end media archive management for audio, video, and other curated asset collections. It can inspect the requested collection type, plan a workflow, discover sources across YouTube/Internet Archive/Bandcamp or other relevant surfaces, acquire with proven tools, score quality, apply consistent metadata, generate gap notes for missing content, verify integrity with SHA-256, transcribe acquired audio/video, and export to platform-specific formats (Plex, Jellyfin, MPD, mobile, archival). ## Capability domains | Domain | Covers | |---|---| | **Assess & plan** | Inspect arbitrary collection requests, examples, filenames, metadata, source URLs, and select workflow/tooling | | **Catalog planning** | Artist discography analysis, canonical catalog structure | | **Discovery & acquisition** | Find sources, download with quality scoring, yt-dlp / Internet Archive patterns | | **Transcription** | Timestamped transcript sidecars for acquired audio/video | | **Metadata & assembly** | Tag files, embed cover art, assemble compilations | | **Completeness & gaps** | Audit collection completeness, document missing content | | **Integrity & export** | SHA-256 verification, platform-specific export bundles | | **Provenance** | Track derivation chains, source, license, and integrity records for curated assets | | **Research handoff** | Pass acquired media plus transcripts into research-complete `induct-media` | ## Curated discovery phrases ### Catalog planning ```bash aiwg discover "curate arbitrary media collection" # → curate aiwg discover "assess unsupported media type" # → curate / provenance-tracking aiwg discover "analyze artist discography" # → analyze-artist ``` ### Discovery & acquisition ```bash aiwg discover "find media sources" # → find-sources aiwg discover "acquire media" # → acquire aiwg discover "youtube acquisition" # → youtube-acquisition (pattern reference) aiwg discover "archive acquisition" # → archive-acquisition (pattern reference) aiwg discover "audio extraction" # → audio-extraction (pattern reference) aiwg discover "quality filter media" # → quality-filtering ``` ### Transcription & research handoff ```bash aiwg discover "transcribe media" # → transcribe-media aiwg discover "speaker diarization audio" # → diarize-media aiwg discover "media research handoff" # → induct-media (research-complete) aiwg discover "video audio research induction" # → transcribe-media / diarize-media / induct-media ``` ### Metadata & assembly ```bash aiwg discover "tag media collection" # → tag-collection aiwg discover "metadata tagging" # → metadata-tagging (pattern reference) aiwg discover "cover art embedding" # → cover-art-embedding (pattern reference) aiwg discover "assemble compilation" # → assemble ``` ### Completeness & gaps ```bash aiwg discover "check collection completeness" # → check-completeness aiwg discover "gap documentation" # → gap-documentation ``` ### Integrity & export ```bash aiwg discover "verify archive integrity" # → verify-archive (score 0.73) aiwg discover "integrity verification" # → integrity-verification aiwg discover "export media collection" # → export (score 1.00) ``` ### Orchestration & provenance ```bash aiwg discover "curate" # → curate (end-to-end orchestrator) aiwg discover "provenance tracking" # → provenance-tracking ``` ## Workflow shape ``` assess request and examples → analyze-artist or type-specific plan → find-sources (discovery) → quality-filtering (accept/reject) → acquire (download) → tag-collection (metadata) → verify-archive (integrity) → export (target platform) ``` `gap-documentation` and `check-completeness` run cross-cutting at any stage. For unknown or lightly supported asset types, first inspect available examples, filenames, metadata, source URLs, and user intent. Prefer established libraries or tools; create narrow custom tooling only when necessary. If specialized handling is missing, produce a concrete plan, collect safe metadata/provenance and integrity records, and identify the follow-up tool or plugin needed. ## Artifact directory layout ``` .aiwg/media/ ├── catalogs/ # Per-artist canonical discographies ├── sources/ # Discovery output (ranked candidates) ├── acquisitions/ # Acquired files + checksums ├── transcripts/ # Transcript sidecars for acquired audio/video ├── gaps/ # GAP-NOTE markers for missing content ├── exports/ # Platform-specific export bundles └── verify/ # Integrity reports ``` ## When the curated phrases don't fit ```bash aiwg discover "" --limit 5 ``` ## Anti-pattern: don't enumerate If a user asks "what media skills are available?", **do not list from this skill**. Run: ```bash aiwg discover --type skill --limit 20 "" ```
