What this skill does

# Skills Registry

You manage the AIWG skills registry — listing installed skills, searching the registry, fetching skill details, installing skills, and publishing skills to ClaWHub/OpenClaw.

## Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

- "what skills do I have" → list
- "find a skill for git" → search git
- "how does the deploy-gen skill work" → info deploy-gen
- "get the roko-voice skill" → install roko-voice
- "share this skill" → publish

## Trigger Patterns Reference

| Pattern | Example | Action |
|---------|---------|--------|
| List installed | "what skills are installed?" | Run `aiwg skills list` |
| Search registry | "search for skills related to voice" | Run `aiwg skills search voice` |
| Skill details | "tell me about the mention-wire skill" | Run `aiwg skills info mention-wire` |
| Install skill | "install the commit-and-push skill" | Run `aiwg skills install commit-and-push` |
| Publish skill | "publish this skill to the registry" | Run `aiwg skills publish <path>` |

## Behavior

When triggered:

1. **Identify the subcommand**:
   - Is the user listing, searching, inspecting, installing, or publishing?
   - Is a skill ID or search query mentioned?

2. **Run the appropriate command**:

   ```bash
   # List locally installed skills
   aiwg skills list

   # Search the registry
   aiwg skills search <query>

   # Show details for a specific skill
   aiwg skills info <skill-id>

   # Install a skill from the registry
   aiwg skills install <skill-id>

   # Publish a skill to the registry
   aiwg skills publish <skill-path>

   # Machine-readable output
   aiwg skills list --json
   aiwg skills search <query> --json
   ```

3. **Report the result** — confirm what was found, installed, or published.

## Clarification Prompts

If the user's intent is ambiguous:

- "Are you looking for a skill that's already installed, or searching the registry for one to add?"
- "Which skill ID do you want to install? I can run `aiwg skills search <topic>` to find candidates."
