Meta-Skill Routing

When a library has dozens of skills, you cannot load them all. You must "route" your attention effectively.

The Two-Step Pattern

  1. Index Lookup: Read the root README.md or a dedicated index to identify which skills are relevant to the current request.
  2. Explicit Load: Only load the content of the specific SKILL.md files needed.

Routing Heuristics

  • Keyword Matching: Look for domain-specific keywords (e.g., "Flask", "TDD", "Transformers").
  • Intent Discovery: Ask, "Is this a planning, implementing, or verifying task?" and route to the corresponding skill suite.

Best Practices

  • Atomic Loading: Avoid "just in case" loading. Only load a skill when you are about to perform an action related to it.
  • Reference Over Inclusion: Link to skills in documentation instead of copying their content.
