Skill Adapter

Overview

Analyzes existing plugins in the repository to extract their capabilities, then synthesizes and applies those learned patterns to the current task. Functions as a universal skill chameleon that discovers relevant plugins, extracts their approaches and methodologies, and adapts them to novel requests.

Prerequisites

• Read access to the plugins/ directory tree (community, packages, examples categories)
• grep and find available on PATH for plugin discovery
• Familiarity with the plugin structure: commands/*.md, agents/*.md, skills/*/SKILL.md, and scripts/

Instructions

1. Analyze the user's task to identify the core capability needed, the domain (security, devops, testing, documentation, etc.), and key requirements or constraints (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/how-it-works.md).
2. Search existing plugins for relevant capabilities using file globbing across plugins/community/, plugins/packages/, and plugins/examples/ directories. Match on plugin.json descriptions and keyword fields.
3. For each relevant plugin discovered, extract capabilities from its components:
   • Commands (commands/*.md): read content, extract approach and input/output patterns.
   • Agents (agents/*.md): understand roles, decision-making patterns, expertise areas.
   • Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md): read instructions, extract core capability and tool usage.
