majiayu000 Skill Discovery
Purpose
Help users and Claude discover available skills organized by category, understand when to use them, and identify gaps where new skills should be created.
When to Use This Skill
Activate automatically when:
- User asks "What skills are available?"
- User requests "List all skills"
- You need to find a skill for a specific task
- You're identifying whether a relevant skill exists
- You're planning workflow improvements
Discovery Process
1. Scan Skill Directories
Use Glob to find all skills:
.claude/skills/meta/*/SKILL.md
.claude/skills/quality-gates/*/SKILL.md
.claude/skills/context-assembly/*/SKILL.md
.claude/skills/workflows/*/SKILL.md
2. Extract Metadata
For each SKILL.md file:
- Read the YAML frontmatter
- Extract
nameanddescription - Note the category (from directory path)
3. Organize by Category
Group skills into four categories:
Meta Skills - System improvement and skill management Quality Gates - Validation and compliance checks Context Assembly - Reusable context gathering patterns Workflows - Complete multi-stage processes
4. Present Results
Format output as:
## Available Skills
### Meta Skills
- **skill-name**: Description of what it does and when to use it
- **another-skill**: Description...
### Quality Gates
- **citation-compliance**: Description...
- **epic-validation**: Description...
### Context Assembly
- **meeting-synthesis**: Description...
- **research-gathering**: Description...
### Workflows
- **content-pipeline**: Description...
- **product-planning**: Description...
Search by Keyword
When user provides a keyword (e.g., "citation", "epic", "content"):
- Use Grep to search descriptions:
grep -i "keyword" .claude/skills/**/*.md - Return matching skills with full descriptions
- Suggest related skills
Gap Identification
When no relevant skill exists for a task:
- Clearly state: "No existing skill found for [task description]"
- Suggest: "This may be a good candidate for a new skill"
- Recommend: "Use the
create-skillmeta-skill to generate one"
Quick Reference Table
| Category | Purpose | Example Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Meta | System improvement | using-skills, skill-discovery, create-skill |
| Quality Gates | Validation checks | citation-compliance, epic-validation |
| Context Assembly | Reusable context | meeting-synthesis, research-gathering |
| Workflows | End-to-end processes | content-pipeline, product-planning |
Success Criteria
- User can see all available skills in one view
- Skills are organized logically by category
- Descriptions clearly indicate when to use each skill
- User can search by keyword to find relevant skills
- Gaps are identified proactively
Common Mistakes
- Listing skills without descriptions (not helpful)
- Failing to organize by category (creates confusion)
- Not suggesting skill creation when gaps exist
- Searching only skill names instead of full descriptions
