SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After installing, removing, or renaming skills, agents lose track of what skills exist and where they live, causing blind searches and stale references. This Skill rebuilds a fresh index of all available skills so delegators always have an accurate map. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Indexing: Scans user and project skill directories for SKILL.md files and records each skill's name, trigger description, scope, and exact path. - Deduplication Rules: Prefers project-level skills over global ones and skips internal entries like sdd-*, _shared, and itself. - Persistent Registry: Always writes .atl/skill-registry.md and optionally persists the index to Engram under the topic key skill-registry. - Use Case: After adding a new skill to your project, run this Skill so delegating agents receive exact SKILL.md paths instead of guessing which skills exist. ## Quick Start Update the skill registry to reindex all available skills after my recent skill changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-registry

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I update the skill registry after adding new skills?▼

Trigger the skill-registry skill after installing, removing, creating, moving, or renaming skills. It rescans all user and project skill directories for SKILL.md files and rewrites .atl/skill-registry.md with the updated index.

What is a skill registry in an AI agent workflow?▼

A skill registry is an index file listing each available skill's name, trigger description, scope, and exact SKILL.md path. Delegating agents read it to select matching skills and pass exact paths to subagents instead of searching blindly.

Does the registry handle duplicate skills in project and global directories?▼

Yes. When the same skill exists globally and in the project, the project-level skill is kept. If duplicates exist across multiple global locations, the first source in scan order wins.

What happens when no skills are found during a scan?▼

The skill writes an empty registry to .atl/skill-registry.md so agents stop searching blindly. The registry is always written regardless of persistence mode.

Which skills are excluded from the registry index?▼

Skills prefixed with sdd-, the _shared directory, and the skill-registry skill itself are skipped during scanning. This keeps the index focused on actionable, delegable skills.
