List Available Kind Values

List all available kind discriminator values from the schema, dynamically.

Instructions

  • Run the schema lookup script to get all kinds:
   node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js kinds
  • If $ARGUMENTS contains a filter keyword, filter the output to show only matching kinds.
  • Categorize the results for easier reading:
  • Triggers — kinds starting with "On" (e.g., OnRecognizedIntent, OnConversationStart)
  • Actions — node actions (e.g., SendActivity, Question, SetVariable)
  • Dialogs — dialog types (e.g., AdaptiveDialog, TaskDialog, AgentDialog)
  • Cards — card templates (e.g., AdaptiveCardTemplate, HeroCardTemplate)
  • Knowledge Sources — knowledge kinds (e.g., KnowledgeSourceConfiguration)
  • Inputs — input kinds (e.g., AutomaticTaskInput, ManualTaskInput)
  • Present the categorized list to the user.

Important: Always use the script output as the source of truth. Do NOT hardcode kind values.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/list-kinds from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
