How it works

skill-conductor

When your agent uses it

Create, edit, evaluate, and package agent skills. Use when building a new skill from scratch, improving an existing skill, fixing a skill that never triggers or fires unreliably, running evals to test a skill, benchmarking skill performance, optimizing a skill's description, reviewing third-party skills for quality, or packaging skills for distribution — even if the user doesn't explicitly say "skill" (e.g. "teach Claude to do X", "make the agent always follow Y"). Not for using skills or general coding tasks.

# Skill Conductor

Full lifecycle management for agent skills: **draft → test → review → improve → repeat**.

One skill to rule them all — from architecture to packaging. The core loop is always the same: write something, test it, see what fails, fix it, test again.

## Runtime requirements (pre-flight)

Before any mode that touches scripts (CREATE, IMPROVE, VALIDATE, OPTIMIZE, PACKAGE), run the pre-flight block → **`references/runtime-setup.md`** (checks `uv`, sets `UV_BIN`/`SKILL_CONDUCTOR_DIR`, verifies LLM access). If `uv` is absent, stop and tell the user.

## How to communicate

Read context cues. If the user is a skill author iterating on their own work, be direct and technical. If they're new to skills, explain the _why_ behind each step — not just what to do, but why it matters. Default to conversational, not robotic.
