What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by nirholas/pai in skills/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

This file is the machine-readable index of every skill shipped in PAI. Agents scan /skills/*/SKILL.md at session start and use this file as the canonical list of what is available.

For the human-facing overview of the skill convention, see ../SKILLS.md. For how agents consume skills, see ../AGENTS.md. For the underlying primitives skills are built from, see ../TOOLS.md.

How skills are discovered by agents

At session start, an agent should:

  1. Enumerate every SKILL.md under /skills/ (excluding this root index itself).
  2. Parse the YAML frontmatter of each file.
  3. Build an in-memory registry keyed by name, with triggers used to match user intent.
  4. When a user request matches one or more triggers, the agent loads the full SKILL.md body and follows its instructions.

Agents MUST NOT invoke a skill whose SKILL.md failed to parse or whose frontmatter is incomplete. Report the problem to the user instead.
