5 realistic interactions showing how agent-skill-creator must work
with inarticulate, messy human input — not clean specifications:
1. The File Dump — analyst drags 5 files and types "here"
2. The URL Dump — half-sentence with 2 URLs and "same thing as wasde"
3. The Screenshot + Complaint — Paint-annotated Bloomberg screenshot
and "this is ridiculous" (reveals the workflow was unnecessary —
data already existed in Databricks)
4. The Forwarded Email — 6-message chain with legal disclaimers,
agent extracts the one useful paragraph from Oliver in London
5. The One Word — analyst types "freight", agent infers from desk
context, Databricks catalog, and colleague skills
Closes with 6 design principles: file interpretation over requirements
gathering, context inference, progressive refinement, discovery over
assumption, confirm don't interrogate, fail forward not fail safe.

Full 7-phase simulation of a 25-person ag research team (Ag Modelling,
S&D, Price Assessment) going from 8% tool adoption to 76% via
agent-skill-creator as the on-ramp. Covers: champion discovery,
colleague-to-colleague spread, team lead rollout strategy, MATLAB
model wrapping for PhD quants, Copilot CLI for terminal-shy analysts,
Databricks bridge for shared data infrastructure, and CTO dashboard
metrics 3 months later. Five new skills: export-inspections, wasde-
extractor, yield-model wrapper, daily-assessment, databricks-bridge.

Skill 18: agdb-query-assistant-skill — non-technical analysts ask
questions in plain English, get safe read-only SQL with explanation
before execution. Covers onboarding (new hire learning the schema),
simple queries (trading volume), complex business logic (crush margin
with unit conversions), follow-ups (12-month trends), and security
guardrails (client PII redaction, audit logging, query validation).

The simulations hardcoded ~/.claude/skills/ as the install path even
though the users are on VS Code Copilot. Replaced all 18 occurrences
with the universal ~/.agents/skills/ path, which is the canonical
location that gets symlinked to tool-specific paths by the installer.

Skills go stale as APIs change and data sources move. This adds a three-layer
staleness detection system: review date tracking with git fallback, HTTP health
checks for declared dependencies, and top-level key comparison for schema drift.
All new frontmatter fields are optional — existing skills work unchanged.

Generated skills included activation.keywords, activation.patterns,
test_queries, and usage.when_to_use fields in marketplace.json — none
of which are supported by Claude Code's official schema. This caused
installation failures.
Root cause was references/phase4-detection.md instructing the agent to
put activation data into marketplace.json instead of the SKILL.md
description field. The description is the only activation mechanism.
Changes:
- Rewrote phase4-detection.md activation section (description-based only)
- Removed marketplace.json from stock-analyzer example directory structure
- Fixed quality-standards.md checklist reference
- Fixed multi-agent-guide.md wording implying marketplace.json has keywords
- Deleted marketplace-robust-template.json (source of non-standard fields)
- Bumped version to 4.1.0

VS Code 1.108+ (Dec 2025) adopted the Agent Skills Open Standard.
Default chat.agentSkillsLocations includes ~/.claude/skills/ and
~/.copilot/skills/ — same install command as Claude Code, globally
available in all projects. No per-project setup needed.
One install at ~/.claude/skills/ now works for both Claude Code AND
VS Code Copilot. Restructured README: global install first, per-project
second. Cursor still needs symlink workaround.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
VS Code Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf only support global rules as
markdown text, not full skill directories. Documented the platform
reality and the clone-once symlink workaround with shell alias.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
IDE platforms load skills per-project, not globally. Added clone-once
symlink pattern: clone to ~/agent-skills/, symlink into each project.
Shell alias automates the per-project symlink. Updates propagate to
all projects with one git pull.

The consultant doesn't build skills for the corporate — they teach
each team member to use agent-skill-creator, set up a shared
{team}-skills-registry repo, and hand over a self-sustaining system.
Added 5-step team onboarding guide the consultant can share on
Slack/Teams: install agent-skill-creator, clone registry, create
skill, publish, install from registry. Team members know their
workflows better — the consultant removes friction.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Agent now offers to set up a centralized skill registry when it
detects team or org-level deployment. Creates a private git repo
(GitHub or GitLab), initializes the registry, publishes the first
skill, and shows the team how to browse and install from it.
Positions the registry as infrastructure for AI consultants
delivering skill-based engagements to corporates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Skills now require -skill suffix for org-wide discoverability (teams
search *-skill to find all skills). Suites use -suite suffix.
Post-creation sharing flow: agent detects gh/glab CLI, creates repo,
adds agent-skill topic, gives shareable one-liner for Slack/Teams.
Supports GitHub, GitLab, Enterprise, and self-hosted instances.
Updated validate.py to warn on missing -skill suffix and error on
deprecated -cskill suffix. Updated architecture-guide.md naming
section to match.

Every skill the factory produces follows the same pattern as
agent-skill-creator itself: installed with git clone, invoked
with /skill-name. SKILL.md body starts with "# /skill-name",
includes a Trigger section with invocation examples. The generated
skill is software that gets installed and used, not a document.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restructures SKILL.md and README around the dark factory model:
raw material goes in, production-ready skill comes out. The agent
deeply understands the user's material, generates its own internal
specification, implements from that spec autonomously, and runs
quality gates before delivery. Three constraints removed: cognitive
(human provides domain knowledge), implementation (factory builds
autonomously), trust (quality gates validate automatically).
Inspired by the Level 5 dark factory concept where specifications
go in and working software comes out — no human writes or reviews
the code.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restructures SKILL.md to follow the same /slash-command pattern as
clarity: users type /agent-skill-creator followed by their input
(descriptions, links, code, docs, PDFs). Natural language triggers
still work as fallback. Updates README walkthrough, usage section,
and machine-readable reference to lead with the slash invocation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rewrites Step 2 walkthrough to show the real interaction: users talk to
their agent and provide docs, links, code, compliance checklists, or
plain English descriptions. The skill creator activates automatically
and processes everything through the 5-phase pipeline. No commands to
memorize. Updated intro to lead with this message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Makes the confidence story explicit: every skill passes spec validation
and security scanning before it can be published. Adds a "Built-in
Quality Gates" table right after "What Is This?" and a "Why you can
trust the output" paragraph in the agentic AI rationale section.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds "Why Agent Skills Matter" section explaining the corporate value
proposition — from individual prompting to organizational capability.
Adds 7-step "End-to-End Walkthrough" covering the full lifecycle:
install, describe workflow, validate, publish, discover, use, iterate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Initialize built-in registry at ./registry so teams can publish and
discover skills without managing a separate repo. Updated README
examples to use the simpler default --registry path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds skill_registry.py CLI tool with 7 subcommands (init, publish, list,
search, install, info, remove) for managing a git-friendly shared skill
catalog. No new dependencies — stdlib only. Integrates with existing
validate.py and security_scan.py for publish-time checks.

Fixed naming mismatch between SKILL.md and marketplace.json that caused
plugin loading errors when users tried to install the skill.
Changes:
- SKILL.md: agent-creator-en-v2 → agent-skill-creator
- marketplace.json: agent-sill-creator → agent-skill-creator (fixed typo)
Now follows the standard naming pattern:
- Skill name: agent-skill-creator
- Marketplace: agent-skill-creator
- Plugin: agent-skill-creator-plugin
This resolves the "Plugin 'agent-creator-en-plugin' not found in
marketplace 'agent-creator-en'" error reported by users.
