About using-agent-skills

using-agent-skills
Discovers and invokes agent skills
using-agent-skills is a meta-skill from Addy Osmani's agent-skills collection that helps an agent discover the right skill for the work in front of it. The collection contains engineering workflow skills organized by development phase, and each one encodes a process that senior engineers follow. This meta-skill is meant to be used when a session starts, or whenever it is unclear which skill or workflow applies to the current task. Its method is skill discovery: when a task arrives, the agent identifies the development phase it belongs to and applies the skill that matches that phase. The collection spans phases such as defining an idea, writing a spec, planning, building, testing, reviewing, and shipping, and this meta-skill is the entry point for choosing among them. The skill is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there. It suits anyone who installs several of the collection's skills and wants the agent to pick the right one at each stage, rather than relying on a single generic workflow for every task.
