Naming Convention

kebab-case, 2–50 characters.
All library skills are prefixed with ask- by convention.
Validated by ask/utils/validators.py.

Category	Purpose
`coding/`	Language/framework-specific dev skills
`planning/`	Architecture, ADRs, project management
`tooling/`	Meta-skills (skill creation, context, auditing)
`workflows/`	Multi-step process skills and reference templates

Lifecycle

Author — create skill dir, write skill.yaml + SKILL.md.
Validate — ask validate checks structure; ask skill lint checks token limits.
Eval — ask test audits trigger collisions via tests/evals.yaml.
Deploy — ask copy <skill> deploys locally; ask install <url> fetches from remote registries.
Update — bump version in skill.yaml; ask copy detects version delta.

Dependency Resolution

SkillRegistry resolves depends_on chains with cycle detection. A skill won't install unless its dependencies are satisfied.

Token Limits

ask/utils/token_analyzer.py enforces per-skill-type token limits via tiktoken. ask skill lint surfaces violations.

See skills-catalog.md for all available skills.
