List Topics in Solution

List all topics in the current agent with their trigger types and details.

Instructions

Auto-discover the agent directory — find all agents via:

   Glob: **/agent.mcs.yml

If multiple agents found, list them and ask which one to inspect.
NEVER hardcode an agent name or path.

Find all topic files in the discovered agent directory:

   Glob: <discovered-agent>/topics/*.topic.mcs.yml

For each topic file, read it and extract:
Topic name (from the # Name: comment or filename)
Trigger type (from beginDialog.kind)
Trigger phrases (if OnRecognizedIntent, from triggerQueries)
Number of actions in the actions array
Dialog references (any BeginDialog or ReplaceDialog calls)

Present results in a table:

   | # | Topic Name | Trigger | Phrases | Actions | Calls |
   |---|------------|---------|---------|---------|-------|
   | 1 | Greeting   | OnRecognizedIntent | Hello, Hi, Hey | 2 | - |
   | 2 | Fallback   | OnUnknownIntent | - | 4 | Escalate |

Note any system topics (OnError, OnSelectIntent, OnSignIn) that should be modified with care.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/list-topics 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.
