  • Use when adding, replacing, moving, tagging, vendoring, or removing skills; editing skills-registry.json, setups, sync lockfiles, or the Astro GitHub Pages catalog.

SKILL.md

Skill catalog curation

Keep the skill source tree, registry metadata, setup presets, sync lockfile, and Astro catalog aligned.

When to use

  • A skill is added, removed, renamed, moved between collections, vendored, or replaced.
  • skills-registry.json, skills-registry.lock.json, setups/, install.sh, install.ps1, web/, or .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml changes.
  • The user asks to curate skills, update catalog metadata, adjust tags/authors/provenance, or change what the GitHub Pages catalog shows.

Curation workflow

  1. Identify the surface being changed:

- Skill body: skills/<collection>/<name>/SKILL.md - Catalog metadata: skills-registry.json - Setup presets: setups/_index.txt and setups/<preset>.txt - Astro catalog: web/ - Upstream sync: scripts/sync-skills.mjs and skills-registry.lock.json

  1. For new or replaced skills, verify whether an official upstream skill exists before writing a local one. Prefer official upstream sources; use community sources only when no official source fits or the user asks for that source.
  2. Keep one canonical skill folder under skills/<collection>/<skill-name>/. Do not duplicate a skill into multiple collections or add symlinks under skills/.
  3. Put catalog metadata in skills-registry.json, not in frontmatter:

- author - curated tags - local-path - collection - optional upstream repo, path, ref, update

  1. Keep frontmatter focused on agent loading: name, description, and optional metadata such as version or author tags.
  2. If setup presets change, run make setups-check.
  3. If the Astro catalog behavior or generated index changes, run the relevant web command from web/package.json and inspect the generated catalog behavior.
  4. Always run make list and git diff --check before claiming the curation work is ready.

Collection choice

Choose the collection by the skill's primary use case, not by every technology it mentions.

  • 00-setup: repo setup, local skills, agent guardrails, setup presets.
  • 01-discovery: research, assumption checks, problem discovery.
  • 02-planning: PRDs, product planning, GTM, communication planning.
  • 03-engineering-design: architecture, security, UX, documentation plans.
  • 04-issue-decomposition: issues, triage, acceptance criteria.
  • 05-implementation-loop: implementation, frameworks, migrations, tests.
  • 06-review-repair: review, debugging, quality repair, verification.
  • 07-evidence-delivery: delivery evidence, docs, commits, reports.
  • 08-release: release, deployment, observability, operations.
  • 09-learning-loop: skill authoring, evaluations, process improvement.
  • 10-marketing: marketing, sales, SEO, pitch material.

Astro catalog rules

  • The public catalog is static and lives under web/.
  • web/scripts/build-index.mjs reads skills-registry.json plus each SKILL.md.
  • src/data/skills.json is generated and git-ignored; do not commit it.
  • GitHub Pages deploys via .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml.
  • Keep collection labels in web/scripts/build-index.mjs aligned with the repository's collection table.

Validation matrix

Change Required validation
Skill body only make list, git diff --check
Registry metadata make list, git diff --check
Setup presets make setups-check, make list, git diff --check
Astro catalog cd web && npm run build, git diff --check
Upstream sync script or lockfile Run the focused sync/check command and inspect sync-report.md

Anti-patterns

  • Editing author, tags, collection, or provenance in SKILL.md instead of skills-registry.json.
  • Adding a vendored skill without upstream provenance when the source is known.
  • Creating a setup preset that points to a missing skill or a path absent from the registry.
  • Treating the Astro page as separate from the registry; it is a projection of registry plus skill frontmatter.
