What Claude Should Return

No keyword — show the 5 primary commands

Output a compact menu:

Tradecraft has 169 skills. Start with one of these 5 entry points:

  /tradecraft:analyze <SYMBOL>              One-shot analysis for any ticker
  /tradecraft:search <keyword>              Find the right specialist skill
  /tradecraft:markets [watchlist]           Live scan of key symbols
  /tradecraft:recommendations [watchlist]   Ranked trade setups right now
  /tradecraft:strategies [name]             Strategy selector / deep-dive

Power users: every specialist skill is directly invocable as
  /tradecraft:<skill-name>  (see COMMANDS.md for the full list)

With a keyword — shortlist

Invoke smart-skill-router if available; otherwise scan COMMANDS.md and the plugins/tradecraft/skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter.
Return the top 5-8 matches as:

Matching "breakout strategy":

  /tradecraft:zone-refinement-sniper-entry   Precise entry inside POI
  /tradecraft:dan-zanger-breakout-strategy   Classic momentum breakout
  /tradecraft:gold-orb-ea                    Opening-range breakout for gold
  /tradecraft:strategy-selection             Pick the right strategy for regime
  /tradecraft:ict-smart-money                BOS/CHoCH structure

Closest fit: /tradecraft:strategy-selection
Quick invoke:   /tradecraft:strategy-selection XAUUSD H1

Highlight the best match as "Closest fit" with a ready-to-run command.

Design Rules (so output stays useful, not a data dump)

Cap matches at 8. If more, show top 5 + "... and N more — run /tradecraft:search <more-specific-keyword>".
Each match is one line: command + one-clause purpose (pulled from the skill's frontmatter description).
End with one "Closest fit" recommendation and a copy-pasteable invocation.
Never return the full 169-skill list — that's what COMMANDS.md is for.

analyze / markets / recommendations / strategies — the other 4 entry points
