Skills
Técnicas reutilizables y detectables en archivos SKILL.md, con señales de detección, procedimientos y hooks de aplicación para suites de plan y auditorías del ecosistema.
Las skills residen como carpetas bajo src/apothem/skills/, cada una con un
punto de entrada SKILL.md. Las skills capturan técnicas reutilizables y
detectables: tienen una señal de detección, un procedimiento y un hook de
aplicación.
El catálogo completo de skills se genera más abajo, en el Inventario de skills generado.
Contrato de frontmatter
SKILL.md lleva el frontmatter canónico de ocho claves. El contrato legible por
máquina es skill.schema.json
(additionalProperties: false); este bloque lo refleja:
---
name: <skill name>
version: <semver>
updated: <YYYY-MM-DD>
description: <one-line role>
archetype: <class-template, e.g. workflow-template>
userInvocable: <true | false>
disable-model-invocation: <true | false>
allowed-tools: <comma-separated read-only tools and scoped rules, e.g. "Read, Glob, Grep" or "Read, Bash(git log *)">
---Emisión por entorno
Las skills de origen usan las claves de arriba. Algunos entornos leen claves distintas, así que la instalación las traduce solo para ese entorno:
| Entorno | Qué cambia la instalación |
|---|---|
| Claude Code (instalación y plugin) | Renombra userInvocable a user-invocable, la clave que lee Claude Code. Claude Code ignora la clave en camelCase, así que, sin el cambio de nombre, una skill marcada con userInvocable: false seguiría apareciendo en el menú /. |
Carpetas de skills compartidas de nivel de usuario: ~/.agents/skills/ (escrita por Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf y Zed) y ~/.codebuddy/skills/, ~/.kiro/skills/ y ~/.trae/skills/ | Una sola forma para cada instalación que escribe una de estas carpetas, de modo que las instalaciones nunca reescriben los archivos de las demás. Renombra userInvocable a user-invocable, mueve version, updated, archetype y portability bajo un mapa final metadata: de cadenas entre comillas, y escribe agents/openai.yaml con policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false junto a cada skill cuyo origen establece disable-model-invocation: true, porque Codex ignora esa clave y lee ~/.agents/skills/ tanto si la escribió un adaptador de Codex como si no. Un comando envuelto como skill conserva su cuerpo completo y comienza con una nota fija que nombra las carpetas de reglas y plantillas, ~/.config/apothem/rules/ y ~/.config/apothem/templates/. Las claves de nivel superior que quedan son name, description, user-invocable, disable-model-invocation, allowed-tools, argument-hint y metadata. |
| Qwen Code | Reescribe la cadena allowed-tools separada por comas como una lista allowedTools, una entrada YAML por línea, porque Qwen Code solo lee la clave en camelCase y requiere una lista. Cada entrada conserva la grafía del origen, incluidos patrones como Bash(git status *). Todas las demás claves y el cuerpo de la skill se instalan sin cambios. |
| Otros entornos | Ningún cambio. |
skill.schema.json acepta cualquiera de las dos grafías del indicador de
invocabilidad por el usuario y exige exactamente una de ellas.
Disciplina de autoría
- Una carpeta por skill. Cada skill es su propia carpeta, con el punto de
entrada en
SKILL.md. - Señal de detección. Los cuerpos de las skills comienzan con la señal de detección que dispara la técnica.
- Procedimiento + aplicación. Las skills llevan tanto el procedimiento que se debe aplicar como la señal de aplicación que cierra el ciclo.
- Longitud de la descripción.
descriptiontiene como máximo 1,024 caracteres, el límite de Agent Skills. Las herramientas más estrictas rechazan o recortan una más larga, y el esquema impone el límite.
Inventario de skills generado
| Name | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|
decision-matrix | Choose between two or more options with a weighted, evidence-cited matrix, a runner-up and a first step. Use when the user asks to 'compare these options', 'help me choose between', 'weigh the trade-offs' or 'which one should we pick'. Not for single-answer lookups or building a chosen option. | src/apothem/skills/decision-matrix/SKILL.md |
dependency-upgrade | Upgrade a project's third-party dependencies with changelog review, pinned versions and the host's lint, test and type-check gates. Runs only when the user invokes it (for example to bump deps or refresh the lockfile). Breaking and major bumps stop for a question; --dry-run classifies without writing; --package NAME scopes to one dependency. | src/apothem/skills/dependency-upgrade/SKILL.md |
dev-toolkit | Run a disciplined engineering loop: reproduce-first debugging, test-first red-green-refactor, vertical slices, or a requirement split into issues. Use for 'diagnose a bug', 'do TDD', 'break this into vertical slices' or 'turn this into issues'. Not for one-line edits or multi-agent orchestration. | src/apothem/skills/dev-toolkit/SKILL.md |
diagram-authoring | Author, validate and render diagrams (flowchart, sequence, state, ER, architecture) and data visualizations to SVG, PNG or PDF. Use when the user asks to 'draw a diagram', 'make a flowchart', 'render this Mermaid' or 'export a diagram to SVG'. Source is syntax-validated before render. | src/apothem/skills/diagram-authoring/SKILL.md |
document-authoring | Write a long, cited document (thesis, report, LaTeX) from an approved outline, with checked citations and a PDF compile. Use when the user asks to 'write a thesis', 'author a LaTeX document', 'compile this to PDF' or 'manage the bibliography'. Not for short edits; pipeline papers: research-paper. | src/apothem/skills/document-authoring/SKILL.md |
ecosystem-audit | Audit the apothem configuration tree as a whole for drift, orphans, dangling references and invalid frontmatter. Use when the user asks to 'audit the ecosystem', 'validate the apothem tree' or 'sweep for drift'. Report-only unless --fix is passed. Changed artifacts only: convention-auditor. | src/apothem/skills/ecosystem-audit/SKILL.md |
eval-harness | Build a reproducible evaluation harness for a prompt or model: versioned labeled dataset, scorer, runner and a report with pass rate, interval and regressions. Use when the user asks to 'build an eval' or 'compare models on a labeled task'. One campaign: eval; rubric scoring: prompt-evaluator. | src/apothem/skills/eval-harness/SKILL.md |
incident-runbook | Write or run an incident runbook (Trigger, Diagnosis, Action, Verification, Rollback) with a rollback per action and confirmation before live changes. Use when the user asks to 'write a runbook', 'define an on-call procedure' or 'document recovery steps'. Not for post-mortems. | src/apothem/skills/incident-runbook/SKILL.md |
issue-lifecycle | Takes a reported defect from issue to fix, one stage per run. Use for 'create an issue', 'size this issue', 'reproduce this bug', 'fix issue 123', 'ask the reporter for details' or 'open a draft PR'. Manual only; posts nothing unasked. Debug loops go to dev-toolkit, advisories to vuln-triage. | src/apothem/skills/issue-lifecycle/SKILL.md |
knowledge-wiki | Adds sources to and audits an index-first Markdown knowledge base, when the user asks to 'add this paper to the wiki', 'ingest these sources', 'lint the wiki' or 'what changed in the knowledge base'. Modes: ingest, lint, drift, hubs. Not source discovery or a one-off summary. | src/apothem/skills/knowledge-wiki/SKILL.md |
multi-source-research | Produces a cited, cross-verified research report with confidence levels, when the user asks to 'research X deeply', 'find sources on' or 'gather evidence about'. Finds new sources and writes the report; given documents: source-synthesis, one claim: fact-checker, a bare source list: research-scout. | src/apothem/skills/multi-source-research/SKILL.md |
paper-toolkit | Papers with no research suite: 'write a reading note', 'compare these papers', 'draft related work', 'what would reviewers ask', 'dedupe my references', 'turn DOIs into BibTeX entries'. Suite or referee review: research-* commands. Reference checks: citation-auditor. Loose files: source-synthesis. | src/apothem/skills/paper-toolkit/SKILL.md |
perspectives | Answers a contested question by arguing it from several separate viewpoints, then reconciling them, when the user asks to 'argue both sides', 'what would a skeptic say' or 'we are split on'. Weighted choices go to decision-matrix, claim checks to fact-checker, builds and reviews to workflow. | src/apothem/skills/perspectives/SKILL.md |
plan-suite | Master Plan Suite template, read by path by the /plan pipeline stages (spec, generate, review, design, audit, execute, status, amend). Holds master-template.md, the canonical plan-suite specification. A template, not invoked directly and not listed; use the /plan commands instead. | src/apothem/skills/plan-suite/SKILL.md |
projectify | Builds the Description, Instruction and knowledge files for a chat-app Project or custom assistant within a measured context budget, when the user asks to 'projectify this', 'write Project instructions' or 'set up a custom assistant'. Not for repository rules, skills or commands. | src/apothem/skills/projectify/SKILL.md |
prompt-engineering | Designs a structured prompt and validates it against happy, edge and adversarial eval cases, when the user asks to 'design a prompt', 'write a system prompt for' or 'improve this prompt'. Delivers the prompt plus its eval set; not a running agent or a model benchmark (eval-harness). | src/apothem/skills/prompt-engineering/SKILL.md |
refactor-extract | Extracts a symbol or file without changing behavior, interactively: specifies what it does, re-derives it clean-room, then checks nothing regressed, when the user asks to 'extract this function' or 'pull this out into its own module'. Delegated refactors: refactor-surgeon. | src/apothem/skills/refactor-extract/SKILL.md |
research-suite | Research Suite template, read by path by the /research pipeline stages (ideate through disseminate). Holds the canonical research-suite surface: the ten rigor mandates and the thirteen-stage lifecycle. A template, not invoked directly and not listed; use the /research commands instead. | src/apothem/skills/research-suite/SKILL.md |
secret-rotation | Use when a credential has leaked or been committed ('rotate a secret', 'a key leaked') and must be retired safely: revokes the exposed secret at its issuer first, re-issues a least-privilege replacement, rewires config through env vars or a secret manager, then checks no plaintext remains. Runs only when the user invokes it. | src/apothem/skills/secret-rotation/SKILL.md |
source-synthesis | Reconciles given documents into one cited synthesis separating consensus from contested claims, when the user asks to 'synthesize these sources', 'combine these documents' or 'what do these say together'. Needs two or more sources. Finding them: multi-source-research; gap map: research-synthesis. | src/apothem/skills/source-synthesis/SKILL.md |
surgical-guard | Makes a minimal, anchor-bounded edit, then reviews only its diff for swallowed errors, hollow tests and docs drift, when the user asks to 'edit surgically', 'make a minimal diff' or 'guard this change'. Not for working out what the change should be (dev-toolkit). | src/apothem/skills/surgical-guard/SKILL.md |
teaching-pack | Builds a teaching pack from one paper or technical document: goals, curriculum, formula walk-throughs, worked examples, quiz with key, glossary, slides on request. For 'teach me this paper' or 'make a study guide from this spec'. Several sources: source-synthesis; critique: research-review. | src/apothem/skills/teaching-pack/SKILL.md |
test-authoring | Writes new behavior-first tests in Arrange-Act-Assert form, failing assertions first, covering happy path, edge boundaries and failures, when the user asks to 'write tests' or 'test this function'. Authors tests only. Whole-repo suite: test-suite; running tests: test-runner. | src/apothem/skills/test-authoring/SKILL.md |
ui-design | Designs or refines a user interface: classifies the surface, applies design rules and keeps DESIGN.md current, when the user asks to 'design a landing page', 'improve this UI', 'make it look better' or 'pick a palette and type scale'. Not for critique-only review (design-critic) or backend logic. | src/apothem/skills/ui-design/SKILL.md |
vuln-triage | Triages one named CVE or security advisory: severity band, affected surface in the lockfile, reachability, and a patch, upgrade, mitigate or accept route, when the user asks to 'triage this CVE' or 'does this advisory affect us'. Does not apply fixes or scan the whole repository. | src/apothem/skills/vuln-triage/SKILL.md |
workflow | Use for a non-trivial mission that needs independent parallel work plus adversarial verification: decomposes it, dispatches independent subagents under named return contracts, runs a refute-by-default critique on every finding, and discloses any beyond-mission fixes. Runs only when the user invokes it, as in 'fan out and verify'. | src/apothem/skills/workflow/SKILL.md |
