## About

# Automation Skill Forge

Goal: turn recurring automation work and GitHub/source research into sharp,
non-overlapping Codex skill candidates or a clear decision not to create any.

## Naming Regex

Generated skills from this automation must use:

```regex
^auto-skill-(research|build|review|audit|ops|safety|trend)-[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+){1,4}$
```

Format: `auto-skill---`.

Examples:

- `auto-skill-trend-agentic-disease-intake`
- `auto-skill-safety-mcp-secret-guard`
- `auto-skill-build-github-repo-radar`

## Workflow

1. Read automation memory and the current workspace index first.
2. Read `references/maintenance-automation-scope.md` for the full agency model.
3. Choose a primary aim: research, build, review, audit, ops, safety, or trend.
4. Gather compact evidence with `rg`, manifests, README/docs, and exact source files.
5. For multiple local source clones, use
   `$auto-skill-build-source-pattern-synthesis` to cluster workflow patterns
   before writing skill files.
6. Create as many useful non-overlapping skills as the evidence justifies.
7. Move broad catalogs or long examples into references.
8. Validate each new or changed skill with `$skill-quality-gate`.

## Skill Candidate Contract

```md
Name:
Regex match:
Generated by:
Aim:
Trigger:
Inputs:
Workflow:
Commands:
References:
Skip when:
Validation:
Useful end goal:
```

## Command Defaults

- Search: `rg`, `rg --files`, exact symbols, package manifests.
- Repo scan: `scripts/repo_snapshot.sh ` and `scripts/token_budget.sh ` when available.
- Validation: `scripts/skill_audit.sh plugins/codex-supercharge/skills` and `quick_validate.py`.
- GitHub packaging: prepare files, docs, validation output, and commit-ready notes only; do not publish unless asked.

## Trend Guardrail

Use trend signals to choose domains, not to invent claims. Current trend-backed
skill ideas must cite source/date and include a safety or usefulness gate.

Read `references/automation-skill-patterns.md` and
`references/maintenance-automation-scope.md` before creating generated skills
or broad skill batches.

## Validation

- Every generated skill name matches the automation regex unless promoted to a stable first-class name.
- Each candidate has a trigger, skip condition, workflow, references, and validation.
- Broad catalogs or examples are moved into references before installation.
