Skill Discovery
Scan and catalog all available skills, agents, commands, hooks, and rules in the project. Produces a structured skills-registry.json and presents a formatted summary.
Steps
Step 1: Run the Scanner
Execute the registry scanner script from the repo root:
cd "D:/ailocal/acm-ai" && bash .claude/skills/skill-discovery/scripts/scan_registry.sh
This generates skills-registry.json at the repo root with a full inventory of all capabilities.
Step 2: Read the Generated Registry
Read the generated file:
D:/ailocal/acm-ai/skills-registry.json
Step 3: Present a Formatted Summary
Present the results grouped by type. Use this format:
## Skills Registry Summary

Step 4: Filter if Requested
If the user asks to filter (e.g., "show me debugging skills", "list only frontend skills"):
- Filter
skillsarray by matching keywords againstnameanddescriptionfields - Present the filtered subset using the same table format
- Note how many skills were hidden: "Showing 3 of 12 skills (filtered by 'debug')"

Notes
- Skills can live in
.claude/skills/(Claude Code) or.agents/skills/(agent platform) or both - Skills with
also_atentries appear in multiple registries — they are the same skill - The registry is regenerated on each scan; commit
skills-registry.jsonto track changes over time - Hooks are found in
.claude/hooks/— they run automatically based on trigger type - Commands are in
commands/(surreal-commands worker handlers, not slash commands)
