SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Skill libraries drift over time, descriptions become stale, and file-pattern overlaps cause maintenance bottlenecks; skill-forge provides a disciplined 9-phase pipeline to audit, discover, and improve a project's skill library.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end workflow: Discover, Audit, Find Candidates, First-Pass Edits, Deep Research, Second-Pass Edits, Structure, QA, Memory.
  • Deterministic scope and safety: validates YAML frontmatter, checks triggers, and records decisions with explicit user consent.
  • Memory and reproducibility: preserves architectural decisions and research outputs for future runs.

Quick Start

Ask for explicit confirmation to begin Phase 1 and follow the guided prompts through all nine phases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my project's skill library for stale descriptions and file overlaps?▼

Auditing a skill library involves a 9-phase workflow that deterministically inventories skills, validates YAML frontmatter, and checks triggers to prevent maintenance bottlenecks caused by file-pattern overlaps.

What is the best way to automate tuning and discovering improvements for a skill library?▼

Automating skill library tuning uses a pipeline that spawns research agents to discover improvements and applies first-pass and second-pass edits only after explicit user consent.

How does memory and reproducibility work when auditing skill libraries?▼

Memory in skill library auditing preserves architectural decisions and stores research results to guide future runs, ensuring reproducible outcomes across the entire 9-phase workflow.

Do I need explicit user consent before applying changes to my skill library?▼

Yes, explicit user consent is required before applying changes; the workflow validates frontmatter and triggers, then applies edits only after approval to ensure deterministic safety.

Can I use pyyaml to validate frontmatter in an automated skill library workflow?▼

Yes, pyyaml is used to validate YAML frontmatter within the workflow, ensuring that skill triggers and descriptions are correctly formatted before applying any approved changes.

When should I run a full 9-phase pipeline instead of manually editing individual skill files?▼

Run a full 9-phase pipeline when your skill library has drifted significantly with stale descriptions and overlaps, requiring structured discovery, deep research, and QA rather than manual file edits.
