SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires frontmatter_tags, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the regeneration and maintenance of the Agile by Design catalogue by scanning the repository's skills/ and agents/, preserving each package README where possible, and generating up-to-date outline and catalog HTML outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically discovers all skills and agent-packages with SKILL.md / AGENT.md and builds catalog pages (outline, skills grid, agents grid).
  • Regenerates the catalog HTML and outline to reflect repository changes, enabling stakeholder-facing overviews and quick browsing of available skills and agents.
  • Supports agent and skill governance via front matter signals like catalogue_garden_tier, catalog_ready, and tags to control visibility.

Quick Start

Regenerate the catalogue from the repository root to update all skill and agent pages.

Frequently Asked Questions about abd-skill-catalog

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a browsable HTML catalog from markdown files in a repository?▼

Generate a browsable HTML catalog by scanning SKILL.md and AGENT.md files with frontmatter, then emitting catalog HTML and outline outputs. This skill reads repository directories and builds stakeholder-facing overview pages.

What is the best way to automate documentation catalog generation when skills change frequently?▼

Automate catalog generation by scanning skills and agents directories to emit fresh catalog HTML and outline outputs. It reads frontmatter toggles like catalogue_garden_tier and catalog_ready to control visibility during repository maintenance workflows.

How does frontmatter control which entries appear in a generated catalog?▼

Frontmatter controls catalog visibility through catalogue_garden_tier and catalog_ready toggles read from SKILL.md and AGENT.md files. Entries respecting these signals are included or excluded when generating the browsable outline and detail pages.

Can I use frontmatter tags to organize skills and agents in a generated catalog?▼

Frontmatter tags from SKILL.md and AGENT.md files are read during catalog generation to organize skills and agents. The dependency on frontmatter_tags enables tag-based filtering and categorization within the emitted catalog HTML and outline outputs.

Do I need markdown frontmatter in every file to build a complete skills catalog?▼

Markdown frontmatter in SKILL.md and AGENT.md files is required to build a complete skills catalog. The generator scans for these files, reads their frontmatter metadata, and skips packages lacking the required documentation when emitting catalog HTML.

What output files are created when regenerating a repository catalog?▼

Regenerating a repository catalog creates an outline.md file and detail pages under the catalog/ directory. These outputs include browsable skills grids, agents grids, and individual package detail pages reflecting current repository state.
