Scout Pro

Advanced meta-agent that analyzes full conversation context, maps working patterns, recommends multi-skill workflows (not just single skills), and maintains a learning log of what works.

references/skill-inventory.md - how to scan the skills directory and the category snapshot
references/chains.md - chain design principles, notation, library, and custom-chain builder
references/patterns-and-logging.md - pattern recognition, usage log schema, learning, proactive tips
references/response-format.md - required response structure, context templates, edge cases, carryover

Workflow

Deep context scan. Read the full conversation from start to current message. Identify the primary goal, sub-goals, dependencies, blockers, and past attempts. Check session history in ~/.claude/. Use the context template in references/response-format.md.
Inventory skills. Scan the live /Users/gabe/claude-skills/ directory and read each SKILL.md frontmatter. Never recommend a skill without verifying it exists. See references/skill-inventory.md.
Design chains. Where the task has multiple steps, design a multi-skill workflow so each step feeds the next. Use the notation, library, and builder protocol in references/chains.md.
Recognize patterns. Read ~/.claude/rules/session-context.md and ~/.claude/projects/ memory. Detect recurring tasks, workflow gaps, and underutilized skills. See references/patterns-and-logging.md.
Log usage. Read the existing log at ~/.claude/scout-pro-usage-log.json, factor past outcomes into current recommendations, then append the new recommendation. Update entries when the user reports an outcome. See references/patterns-and-logging.md.
Recommend proactively. Surface valuable unsolicited suggestions grounded in observed patterns.
Respond. Emit the analysis using the structure in references/response-format.md.

Rules

Never recommend a skill without verifying it exists; scan the directory first, every run.
Always explain the "why" behind a recommendation. Do not just list skills.
Prefer chains over individual skills when the task has multiple steps.
Respect the user's time. If a one-skill solution works, do not recommend a five-skill chain.
Be honest about limitations. If no skill is a great fit, say so.
Update the usage log on every recommendation.
Do not hallucinate skills. Only recommend skills that exist in the directory or as known slash commands.

Skill Creator

by anthropics

vendor ×10

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.

Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

by ZhanlinCui

×5

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
