Agent Skills Matrix

This table reflects intended skill usage for .claude/agents/*.md.

Quick read:

Language-heavy agents use language/domain skills on demand.
Docs/content/EM agents stay intentionally narrow.
High-impact workflows are manual-invocation skills.

Agent	Allowed skills
`codebase`	`dotnet`, `python`, `typescript`, `flutter`, `go`, `java-spring`, `node-express`, `react-next`, `ux-responsive`, `ruby-rails`, `rust`, `sql-migrations`
`orchestrator`	`dotnet`, `python`, `typescript`, `flutter`, `go`, `java-spring`, `node-express`, `react-next`, `ux-responsive`, `ruby-rails`, `rust`, `sql-migrations`, `project-bootstrap`, `docs-validation`, `agent-diagnostics`, `blogger`, `brutal-critic`
`planner`	`dotnet`, `python`, `typescript`, `flutter`, `go`, `java-spring`, `node-express`, `react-next`, `ux-responsive`, `ruby-rails`, `rust`, `sql-migrations`, `project-bootstrap`, `docs-validation`, `agent-diagnostics`
`review`	`dotnet`, `python`, `typescript`, `flutter`, `go`, `java-spring`, `node-express`, `react-next`, `ux-responsive`, `ruby-rails`, `rust`, `sql-migrations`, `docs-validation`, `agent-diagnostics`
`docs`	`docs-validation`, `project-bootstrap`, `agent-diagnostics`
`em-advisor`	`project-bootstrap`, `agent-diagnostics`, `docs-validation`
`blogger`	`blogger`, `brutal-critic`
`brutal-critic`	`brutal-critic`, `blogger`

Notes

Skills load on demand to reduce context overhead.
Keep skill usage narrow by role to reduce tool/context noise.
Avoid preloading many skills in subagents unless explicitly needed.

Skill Trigger Guide (Canonical)

Use this as the canonical trigger reference for when agents should load skills.

Task intent	Skill to load	Typical agents
Language/framework implementation or review	Matching stack skill (`dotnet`, `python`, `typescript`, `flutter`, `go`, `java-spring`, `node-express`, `react-next`, `ruby-rails`, `rust`, `sql-migrations`)	`codebase`, `review`, `planner`, `orchestrator`
Responsive UX across phone/tablet/desktop	`ux-responsive`	`codebase`, `review`, `planner`, `orchestrator`
Docs quality checks (lint/link/structure)	`docs-validation`	`docs`, `review`, `orchestrator`
Agent/package diagnostics and configuration checks	`agent-diagnostics`	`docs`, `review`, `planner`, `orchestrator`, `em-advisor`
Project bootstrap scaffolding	`project-bootstrap`	`docs`, `planner`, `orchestrator`, `em-advisor`
Content drafting	`blogger`	`blogger`, `orchestrator`
Content critique and scoring	`brutal-critic`	`brutal-critic`, `blogger`, `orchestrator`

Trigger policy:

Load skills only on demand for the active task/phase.
Start with one relevant skill; add a second only for explicit cross-domain needs.
If stack/domain is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question before loading.

Skill Scope Policy (Current)

Keep the current core-only skill set.
Expand only when demand, gap, ownership, and licensing checks are all satisfied.

Command Skill Routing (Pattern C)

Command skills fork context and delegate directly to a target agent. They are invoked by the user via /skill-name [argument] and never load into the calling agent’s context.

Command skill	Target agent	Argument hint	Purpose
`/api-docs`	`docs`	`[module, file, or endpoint path]`	Generate API reference documentation
`/architecture-decision`	`docs`	`[decision topic or system name]`	Create an ADR
`/architecture-review`	`review`	`[system, component, or design document]`	Review design for quality attributes
`/code-review`	`review`	`[file, PR, or scope — blank for current changes]`	Security, performance, and style review
`/content-review`	`brutal-critic`	`[content text, file path, or topic]`	Score and critique content quality
`/create-readme`	`docs`	`[project name or path]`	Generate or improve a README
`/generate-tests`	`codebase`	`[file, class, or function name]`	Generate targeted tests
`/1-on-1-prep`	`em-advisor`	`[person] [context]`	Prepare for a focused 1-on-1
`/plan-project`	`orchestrator`	`[feature, objective, or epic]`	Multi-phase implementation plan
`/refactor-plan`	`planner`	`[target module, file, or scope]`	Safe staged refactor strategy
`/security-audit`	`review`	`[scope, file, component, or 'full project']`	Security-focused code and config review
`/blog-post`	`blogger`	`[topic or title]`	Draft a blog post

Note: Command skills never expose themselves in the agent tool list. They bypass the calling agent entirely — the delegated agent receives only the skill body + $ARGUMENTS as its prompt.
