This document helps diagnose common issues in skill selection/suggestion.
1. Skill is never suggested
Common causes:
Missing or overly narrow keywords/intent patterns
Wrong scope inference (routing points to a different area)
Path triggers do not match the actual target files
Fix:
Add 1鈥? high-signal keywords
Add a specific intent pattern
Add a conservative path glob (e.g., /modules/** when appropriate)
2. Skill is suggested too often (noisy)
Common causes:
Generic keywords (鈥渢est鈥? 鈥渇ix鈥? 鈥渦pdate鈥? without context
Broad path globs
Over-broad regex patterns
Fix:
Remove generic keywords; replace with domain-specific terms
Narrow path globs
Reduce regex usage; keep patterns anchored
3. Conflicting skills suggested together
Fix:
Adjust priorities or enforcement (if supported)
Split one skill into narrower responsibilities
Add an alignment doc under /.system/skills/ssot/<scope>/alignment/ clarifying boundaries
