Adaptive Skill Factory

Use this skill to keep agents sharp without bloating every prompt.

Workflow

1. Classify the gap.
2. Use no skill for one-off trivial tasks.
3. Reuse a skill for repeated workflows, fragile procedures, or domain-specific tasks.

4. Create a new skill only when the same gap is likely to recur.

5. Check existing skills first.

6. Prefer workspace skills in <workspace>/skills.
7. Then check shared skills loaded from configured extra skill directories.

8. Reuse bundled skills when they already fit.

9. If internet and ClawHub are available, search before building.

10. Search narrowly for the exact workflow.
11. Install the smallest relevant skill, not a broad bundle.

12. Avoid skills that overlap another role's boundary.

13. If no suitable skill exists, create a local skill.

14. Put role-specific skills in <workspace>/skills/<skill-name>.
15. Put cross-role reusable skills in D:internal-hubskills.
16. Keep SKILL.md concise and procedural.

17. Only include scripts, references, or assets when they save real effort.

18. Validate and iterate.

19. Validate the skill after editing.
20. Update the skill when the workflow changes or the agent struggles again.
21. Delete or simplify stale skills that no longer help.

Role discipline

• Technical skills: only for code, deployment, automation, debugging, websites, scripts.
• Intelligence skills: only for research, verification, policy, news, or competitor analysis.
• Trade skills: only for suppliers, pricing, MOQ, lead time, procurement, stocks, crypto, funds, or trading analysis.
• Supervisor skills: only for task routing, progress reporting, review, and execution oversight.

Avoid

• Do not create skills for generic reasoning.
• Do not create skills that duplicate another role's job.
• Do not install large unrelated skill packs just because they are available.
• Do not let a skill become a dumping ground for long notes.
