skill-recall

/skill-recall — Find local skills for current task

When invoked, match the current task against the installed skill taxonomy. Return ranked suggestions or log a gap.

Trigger

/skill-recall or /skill-recall <task description>

Flow

1. Parse intent — extract key action words and domain from the task description or current conversation context
2. Read taxonomy — load $AIGENT_VAULT/memory/SKILL_LEDGER.md
3. Prefix match — match intent keywords against taxonomy paths:
   • Direct path match: research.deep matches all research.deep.* skills
   • Keyword match: "browser" matches automation.browser.*, "lyrics" matches music.lyrics.*
   • Fuzzy domain match: "investigate a bug" matches research.deep.investigate + strategy.debug.investigate
4. Check chains — read $AIGENT_VAULT/memory/SKILL_CHAINS.md for prior successful multi-skill sequences with similar objectives
5. Rank results — prioritize by:
   • Exact taxonomy path match (highest)
   • Prior chain match (high — proven to work)
   • Keyword overlap (medium)
   • Domain proximity (lower)
6. Output:
   • If matches found: return ranked list with skill name, taxonomy path, one-line description, and invocation hint
   • If chain match found: suggest the full chain with → notation
   • If NO match found: log to memory/SKILL_GAPS.md and suggest /skill-hunt

Gap Logging

When no match is found, append a row to memory/SKILL_GAPS.md:

| {today's date} | {task context, 1 line} | {what capability is missing} | — | open |

Then output: "No matching skill found. Gap logged. Run /skill-hunt {gap description} to search externally."

Example

User: /skill-recall transcribe this meeting recording
aigent: 
  Match: `research.audio.transcriber` — /audio-transcriber
  "Transcribe audio files to structured markdown with speaker labels via Whisper"
  Invoke: /audio-transcriber <path-to-audio>
