skill-picker

Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub

Finds the right skills for your workload from the catalogue. Queries catalogue.json (generated from the actual skills/ directory, never hand-maintained) by persona, family, keyword, or tag, and outputs matching skills with install commands. Use it to answer "what should I install for X" without reading every SKILL.md.

Skill Picker

43 skills is a lot. You don't need all of them — you need the ones that match your workload. This answers "what should I install" in one command.

Commands

python3 scripts/skill_picker.py                        # browse all, by family
python3 scripts/skill_picker.py --persona backend      # skills for a workload
python3 scripts/skill_picker.py --family security      # skills in a family
python3 scripts/skill_picker.py --search "token"       # keyword search
python3 scripts/skill_picker.py --tag security         # skills with a tag
python3 scripts/skill_picker.py --install backend      # copy-paste install cmds

Personas

coding, frontend, backend, devops, agentic, design, verification, career, finance, macos, research, qa

Catalogue

catalogue.json at the repo root is generated from the actual skills/ directory by generate_catalogue.py — never hand-edited. Run generate_catalogue.py --check in CI to catch stale catalogues.

Workflow

  1. skill_picker.py --persona backend → see what matches your work
  2. skill_picker.py --install backend → get the copy-paste commands
  3. Run them, done.

Pairs with

skill-sync (after installing, unify everything into one directory), skill-decay (periodic check: which installed skills are you actually using).

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
