Set up and manage local skills for automatic matching and invocation

This skill provides a guided wizard for setting up and managing your local learned skills. Skills are reusable problem-solving patterns that the agent automatically applies when it detects matching triggers.
Local skills allow you to capture hard-won insights and solutions that are specific to your codebase or workflow:
When you solve a tricky bug or discover a non-obvious workaround, you can extract it as a skill. The agent will automatically detect and apply these skills in future conversations when it sees matching triggers.
First, check if skill directories exist and create them if needed:
# Check and create user-level skills directory
USER_SKILLS_DIR="$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned"
if [ -d "$USER_SKILLS_DIR" ]; then
echo "User skills directory exists: $USER_SKILLS_DIR"
else
mkdir -p "$USER_SKILLS_DIR"
echo "Created user skills directory: $USER_SKILLS_DIR"
fi
# Check and create project-level skills directory
PROJECT_SKILLS_DIR=".omd/skills"
if [ -d "$PROJECT_SKILLS_DIR" ]; then
echo "Project skills directory exists: $PROJECT_SKILLS_DIR"
else
mkdir -p "$PROJECT_SKILLS_DIR"
echo "Created project skills directory: $PROJECT_SKILLS_DIR"
fi
Scan both directories and show a comprehensive inventory:
# Scan user-level skills
echo "=== USER-LEVEL SKILLS (~/.factory/skills/omc-learned/) ==="
if [ -d "$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned" ]; then
USER_COUNT=$(find "$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned" -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "Total skills: $USER_COUNT"
if [ $USER_COUNT -gt 0 ]; then
echo ""
echo "Skills found:"
find "$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned" -name "*.md" -type f -exec sh -c '
FILE="$1"
NAME=$(grep -m1 "^name:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/name: //")
DESC=$(grep -m1 "^description:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/description: //")
MODIFIED=$(stat -c "%y" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null || stat -f "%Sm" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null)
echo " - $NAME"
[ -n "$DESC" ] && echo " Description: $DESC"
echo " Modified: $MODIFIED"
echo ""
' sh {} \;
fi
else
echo "Directory not found"
fi
echo ""
echo "=== PROJECT-LEVEL SKILLS (.omd/skills/) ==="
if [ -d ".omd/skills" ]; then
PROJECT_COUNT=$(find ".omd/skills" -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "Total skills: $PROJECT_COUNT"
if [ $PROJECT_COUNT -gt 0 ]; then
echo ""
echo "Skills found:"
find ".omd/skills" -name "*.md" -type f -exec sh -c '
FILE="$1"
NAME=$(grep -m1 "^name:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/name: //")
DESC=$(grep -m1 "^description:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/description: //")
MODIFIED=$(stat -c "%y" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null || stat -f "%Sm" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null)
echo " - $NAME"
[ -n "$DESC" ] && echo " Description: $DESC"
echo " Modified: $MODIFIED"
echo ""
' sh {} \;
fi
else
echo "Directory not found"

# Summary
TOTAL=$((USER_COUNT + PROJECT_COUNT))
echo "=== SUMMARY ==="
echo "Total skills across all directories: $TOTAL"
After scanning, use the AskUserQuestion tool to offer these options:
Question: "What would you like to do with your local skills?"
Options:
If user chooses "Add new skill", invoke the learner skill:
Use the Skill tool to invoke: learner
This will guide them through the extraction process with quality validation.
Show detailed information including trigger keywords:
echo "=== DETAILED SKILL INVENTORY ==="
echo ""
# Function to show skill details
show_skill_details() {
FILE="$1"
LOCATION="$2"
echo "---"
echo "Location: $LOCATION"
echo "File: $(basename "$FILE")"
# Extract frontmatter

TRIGGERS=$(grep -m1 "^triggers:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/triggers: //")
QUALITY=$(grep -m1 "^quality:" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | sed "s/quality: //")
[ -n "$NAME" ] && echo "Name: $NAME"
[ -n "$DESC" ] && echo "Description: $DESC"
[ -n "$TRIGGERS" ] && echo "Triggers: $TRIGGERS"
[ -n "$QUALITY" ] && echo "Quality: $QUALITY"
# Last modified
MODIFIED=$(stat -c "%y" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null | cut -d. -f1 || stat -f "%Sm" "$FILE" 2>/dev/null)
echo "Last modified: $MODIFIED"
echo ""
}
# Export function for subshell
export -f show_skill_details
# Show user-level skills
if [ -d "$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned" ]; then
echo "USER-LEVEL SKILLS:"
find "$HOME/.factory/skills/omc-learned" -name "*.md" -type f -exec bash -c 'show_skill_details "$0" "user-level"' {} \;
fi
# Show project-level skills
if [ -d ".omd/skills" ]; then
echo "PROJECT-LEVEL SKILLS:"
find ".omd/skills" -name "*.md" -type f -exec bash -c 'show_skill_details "$0" "project-level"' {} \;
fi
Analyze the current conversation context to identify potential skill-worthy patterns. Look for:
Report findings and ask if user wants to extract any as skills.
Ask user to provide either:
Then ask for scope:
Validate the skill format and save to the chosen location.
Provide quick templates for common skill types. When user wants to create a skill, offer these starting points:
---
id: error-[unique-id]
name: [Error Name]
description: Solution for [specific error in specific context]
source: conversation
triggers: ["error message fragment", "file path", "symptom"]
quality: high
---
# [Error Name]
## The Insight
What is the underlying cause of this error? What principle did you discover?
## Why This Matters
What goes wrong if you don't know this? What symptom led here?
## Recognition Pattern
How do you know when this applies? What are the signs?
- Error message: "[exact error]"
- File: [specific file path]
- Context: [when does this occur]
## The Approach
Step-by-step solution:
1. [Specific action with file/line reference]
2. [Specific action with file/line reference]
3. [Verification step]
## Example
\`\`\`typescript
// Before (broken)
[problematic code]
// After (fixed)
[corrected code]

When invoked with an argument, skip the interactive wizard:
/local-skills-setup list - Show detailed skill inventory/local-skills-setup add - Start skill creation (invoke learner)/local-skills-setup scan - Scan both skill directoriesWhen invoked without arguments, run the full guided wizard (Steps 1-4).
Remind users that good skills are:
Non-Googleable - Can't easily find via search
Context-Specific - References actual files/errors from THIS codebase
Actionable with Precision - Tells exactly WHAT to do and WHERE
Hard-Won - Required significant debugging effort
When introducing the skill system, explain these benefits:
Automatic Application: The agent detects triggers and applies skills automatically - no need to remember or search for solutions.
Version Control: Project-level skills (.omd/skills/) are committed with your code, so the whole team benefits.
Evolving Knowledge: Skills improve over time as you discover better approaches and refine triggers.
Reduced Token Usage: Instead of re-solving the same problems, the agent applies known patterns efficiently.
Codebase Memory: Preserves institutional knowledge that would otherwise be lost in conversation history.
