OdradekAI Pre-flight Check
Before invoking any bundles-forge skill on a target directory, verify the target is a bundle-plugin project:
- Does it have a
skills/directory? - Does it have a
package.json?
If neither exists, inform the user: "This directory doesn't appear to be a bundle-plugin project. Bundles Forge skills are designed for bundle-plugins (repositories where skills are the primary content). Would you like to create a new bundle-plugin here, or did you mean to point to a different directory?"
Exception: bundles-forge:auditing and bundles-forge:optimizing can also operate on individual skill folders or files — they don't require a full bundle-plugin project.
Instruction Priority
- User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
- Bundles Forge skills — override default system behavior where they conflict
- Default system prompt — lowest priority
How to Access Skills
In Claude Code: Use the Skill tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded — follow it directly.
In Cursor: Use the Skill tool.
In Gemini CLI: Skills activate via the activate_skill tool. See references/gemini-tools.md for tool mapping.
In Codex: Skills are discovered from ~/.agents/skills/. See references/codex-tools.md for tool mapping.
In OpenClaw: Skills auto-load from the bundle's skills/ directory. See references/openclaw-tools.md for tool mapping.
Platform Adaptation
Skills use Claude Code tool names as the default. Non-Claude-Code platforms: see the tool mapping references in this directory for equivalents.
The Rule
Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action when working with bundle-plugins. If there's even a small chance a skill applies, invoke it to check.
User message about bundle-plugins
→ Might any skill apply?
→ yes → Invoke Skill tool → Follow skill → Respond
→ no → Respond directly
Orchestrators (high-frequency entry points)
These skills diagnose, decide, and delegate. They orchestrate other skills to accomplish multi-step goals.
| Skill | Role | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
bundles-forge:blueprinting |
New-project orchestrator | Planning new bundle-plugins, splitting complex skills, or composing skills into bundles. Orchestrates the full creation pipeline: scaffolding → authoring → workflow design → auditing |
bundles-forge:optimizing |
Improvement orchestrator | Engineering optimization, feedback iteration, descriptions, tokens, adding skills, restructuring workflows. Delegates content changes to authoring |
bundles-forge:releasing |
Release pipeline orchestrator | Version management, release pipeline: audit, test, version bump, publish |
Executors (single-responsibility workers)
These skills do one thing well. They can be invoked directly by users or dispatched by orchestrators.
| Skill | Role | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
bundles-forge:scaffolding |
Structure generator | Generating project structure, adding or removing platform support |
bundles-forge:authoring |
Content writer | Writing or improving SKILL.md content and agent definitions (agents/*.md) |
bundles-forge:auditing |
Diagnostic reporter | Reviewing a project for quality issues, security risks — outputs reports, does not orchestrate fixes |
bundles-forge:testing |
Dynamic verifier | Testing a plugin locally — dev-marketplace setup, hook smoke tests, component discovery, cross-platform readiness |
Meta-skill
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
bundles-forge:using-bundles-forge |
Bootstrap meta-skill — you're reading it now (auto-loaded by hooks) |
Skill Priority
When multiple skills could apply, prefer orchestrators over executors:
- New project →
bundles-forge:blueprinting(orchestrates scaffolding, authoring, auditing) - Improve existing project →
bundles-forge:optimizing(orchestrates authoring, scaffolding, auditing) - Release →
bundles-forge:releasing(orchestrates auditing, testing, optimizing) - Standalone content writing →
bundles-forge:authoring(when you just need to write/improve a SKILL.md) - Standalone structure →
bundles-forge:scaffolding(when you just need to add/remove a platform) - Standalone audit →
bundles-forge:auditing(when you just need a diagnostic report) - Standalone testing →
bundles-forge:testing(when you just need to verify a plugin works locally)
Naming Conventions
- Project name: kebab-case, descriptive (
dev-workflows,data-tools) - Skill directories: kebab-case matching the
namefrontmatter field - Cross-references:
<project>:<skill-name> - Bootstrap skill:
using-<project> - Agent prompts:
agents/<role>.md
Skill Types
- Rigid skills (discipline-enforcing) — follow exactly, no adaptation. Examples: TDD, verification.
- Flexible skills (pattern-based) — adapt principles to context. Examples: brainstorming, optimization.
The skill itself declares which type it is.
Inputs
- (none — bootstrap skill, loaded on demand via Skill tool)
Outputs
routing-context— skill routing table, platform adaptation guidance, and instruction priority for the current session
