OrchestKit Skill Directory Skill

OrchestKit Skill Directory

Dynamic skill discovery — reads from source at runtime so listings are never stale.

Quick Start

/ork:help           # Show all categories
/ork:help build     # Show BUILD skills only
/ork:help git       # Show GIT skills only
/ork:help all       # List every user-invocable skill

Argument Resolution

CATEGORY = "$ARGUMENTS[0]"  # Optional: build, git, memory, quality, config, explore, plan, media, all
# If provided, skip AskUserQuestion and show that category directly.
# $ARGUMENTS is the full string (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)

STEP 0: Dynamic Skill Discovery

ALWAYS run this first to get accurate, up-to-date skill data:

# Scan all user-invocable skills from source
Grep(pattern="user-invocable:\\s*true", path="src/skills", output_mode="files_with_matches")

For each matched file, extract name and description from frontmatter:

# For each SKILL.md found, read first 15 lines to get name + description
Read(file_path="src/skills/{name}/SKILL.md", limit=15)

Build the skill list dynamically. Never hardcode counts or skill names.

STEP 1: Category Selection

If CATEGORY argument provided, skip to STEP 2 with that category.

Otherwise, present categories interactively:

AskUserQuestion(
  questions=[{
    "question": "What type of task are you working on?",
    "header": "Category",
    "options": [
      {"label": "BUILD", "description": "Implement features, brainstorm, verify", "markdown": "```\nBUILD — Feature Development\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:implement     Full-power implementation\n/ork:brainstorm    Design exploration\n/ork:verify        Test & grade changes\n```"},
      {"label": "GIT", "description": "Commits, PRs, issues, branches", "markdown": "```\nGIT — Version Control\n─────────────────────\n/ork:commit        Conventional commits\n/ork:create-pr     PR with validation\n/ork:review-pr     6-agent PR review\n/ork:fix-issue     Debug + fix + PR\n```"},
      {"label": "PLAN", "description": "PRDs, plan visualization, assessment", "markdown": "```\nPLAN — Design & Strategy\n────────────────────────\n/ork:visualize-plan  ASCII plan rendering\n/ork:write-prd       Product requirements\n/ork:assess          Rate 0-10 + report\n```"},
      {"label": "MEMORY", "description": "Store decisions, search, recall", "markdown": "```\nMEMORY — Knowledge Persistence\n──────────────────────────────\n/ork:remember  Store decisions/patterns\n/ork:memory    Search, recall, visualize\n```"},
      {"label": "QUALITY", "description": "Assess, review, diagnose", "markdown": "```\nQUALITY — Assessment & Health\n─────────────────────────────\n/ork:assess     Rate quality 0-10\n/ork:review-pr  6-agent PR review\n/ork:doctor     Plugin health check\n```"},
      {"label": "CONFIG", "description": "Setup, diagnostics", "markdown": "```\nCONFIG — Setup & Operations\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:setup         Onboarding wizard\n/ork:doctor        Health diagnostics\n/ork:configure     Plugin settings\n```"},
      {"label": "EXPLORE", "description": "Codebase exploration and analysis", "markdown": "```\nEXPLORE — Codebase Analysis\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:explore  Multi-angle exploration\n              4 parallel agents\n              Architecture visualization\n```"},
      {"label": "Show all", "description": "List every user-invocable skill"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }]
)

STEP 2: Render Category

For the selected category, render the skill table from the data gathered in STEP 0.

Category-to-Skill Mapping

| Category | Skills | |----------|--------| | BUILD | implement, brainstorm, verify | | GIT | commit, create-pr, review-pr, fix-issue | | PLAN | visualize-plan, write-prd, assess | | MEMORY | remember, memory | | QUALITY | assess, review-pr, doctor | | CONFIG | setup, doctor, configure | | EXPLORE | explore |

For each skill in the category, render:

/ork:{name}  v{version}  {complexity}
  {description}
  Example: /ork:{name} {argument-hint example}

"Show all" — Full Listing

If user picks "Show all", render ALL user-invocable skills grouped by category from STEP 0 data.

CC Built-in Commands (2.1.72+)

Not OrchestKit skills — these are Claude Code built-ins:

| Command | Description | Since | |---------|-------------|-------| | /simplify | Review changed code for quality, then fix | CC 2.1.63 | | /help | Claude Code built-in help | CC 2.1.0+ | | /config | Claude Code configuration | CC 2.1.0+ | | /clear | Clear conversation (preserves background agents) | CC 2.1.72 | | /fast | Toggle fast mode (same model, faster output) | CC 2.1.59+ | | /loop | Recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo) | CC 2.1.71 | | /effort | Reasoning effort: low/medium/high/auto | CC 2.1.72 | | /plan | Enter plan mode | CC 2.1.72 |

Keyboard Shortcuts

| Shortcut | Action | |----------|--------| | Ctrl+F | Find in session output | | Esc | Cancel / dismiss | | Shift+Enter | Newline in input | | Ctrl+C | Cancel operation |

Pro Tip

You don't need to memorize skills. Just describe your task naturally:

"I need to implement user login"     → /ork:implement
"Show me the payment architecture"   → /ork:explore
"Review PR 123"                      → /ork:review-pr
"Is this code good?"                 → /ork:assess
"Plan out the billing redesign"      → /ork:visualize-plan
