Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Curate the Inspire Courts skill library — decide when a workflow earns a skill, refine/dedupe, retire stale skills, and audit skills against current architecture rules. Keeps the toolkit lean and reviewed. Use periodically, after big architecture changes, or when adding/removing a skill.

Key capabilities

  • Decide when a workflow earns a skill based on defined criteria
  • Refine and deduplicate existing skills to avoid redundancy
  • Retire stale skills that are no longer relevant or accurate
  • Audit skills against current architectural rules and conventions
  • Enforce SKILL.md conventions for frontmatter and body content
  • Update the skill library map with current skills

How it works

This skill evaluates workflows against a 4-point bar to determine if they qualify as a skill, then refines, deduplicates, and audits existing skills against architectural rules and conventions. It also manages the retirement of stale skills and updates the library map.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A proposed workflow, existing skills, or architectural changes
You get back
A curated, lean, and correct skill library with an updated map

When to use skill-governance

  • Auditing the skill library
  • Retiring stale skills
  • Reviewing new skill creation

About skill-governance

Evaluates workflows against criteria to decide if they earn a skill, deduplicates redundant efforts, and ensures all SKILL.md files align with current architectural standards.

Curate the Inspire Courts skill library — decide when a workflow earns a skill, refine/dedupe, retire stale skills, and audit skills against current architecture rules. Keeps the toolkit lean and reviewed. Use periodically, after big architecture changes, or when adding/removing a skill.

When not to use it

  • When a workflow is a one-off task
  • When a workflow involves pure judgment with no repeatable steps
  • When a skill's instructions contradict current architecture and cannot be salvaged

Limitations

  • Requires adherence to specific SKILL.md conventions
  • Relies on defined criteria for skill creation and retirement
  • Auditing is based on explicit architectural rules like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md

How it compares

This workflow provides a structured, rule-based approach to skill library management, ensuring consistency and relevance, unlike ad-hoc methods that can lead to redundancy or outdated information.

session-handoff

davila7

Creates comprehensive handoff documents for seamless AI agent session transfers. Triggered when: (1) user requests handoff/memory/context save, (2) context window approaches capacity, (3) major task milestone completed, (4) work session ending, (5) user says 'save state', 'create handoff', 'I need to pause', 'context is getting full', (6) resuming work with 'load handoff', 'resume from', 'continue where we left off'. Proactively suggests handoffs after substantial work (multiple file edits, complex debugging, architecture decisions). Solves long-running agent context exhaustion by enabling fresh agents to continue with zero ambiguity.
