Skill Recommender

Use this skill to recommend the best matching skills from an existing skill collection.

Default workflow

  1. Identify the user's target intent:
    • exact function
    • adjacent use case
    • duplicate/overlap check
    • best skill recommendation
  2. Scan available skills from a given directory.
  3. Match by:
    • name
    • description
    • keywords
    • domain words
  4. Group similar skills into clusters when needed.
  5. Return a ranked recommendation with reasons.

Use the bundled scripts

1. Recommend similar skills

Use scripts/recommend_skills.js when the user gives a query such as:

  • “找同类 skill”
  • “有没有类似的 skill”
  • “这些 skill 哪个更适合”
  • “帮我筛选同功能的 skills”

Example:

node scripts/recommend_skills.js '{
  "query": "家庭采购 库存 提醒",
  "skills_dir": "skills",
  "limit": 8
}'

Run the script from the workspace that contains the skills/ directory. skills_dir must be a relative path inside the current workspace.

2. Cluster related skills

Use scripts/cluster_skills.js when the user wants a grouped view of similar skills, duplicates, or overlapping categories.

3. Avoid duplicate skill development

Use scripts/check_skill_dedup.js when the user is about to build a new skill and wants to know:

  • whether similar skills already exist
  • whether the request should reuse an existing skill
  • whether it is better to extend or merge current skills instead of building a new one

Typical triggers:

  • “这个 skill 会不会重复开发”
  • “帮我查重一下 skill”
  • “我想做一个新 skill,先看看有没有类似的”
  • “这是不是应该复用现有 skill”

Output contract

Default output sections:

  • 目标功能理解
  • 推荐 skill
  • 推荐理由
  • 相近但次优 skill
  • 可合并/避免重复开发的 skill
  • 下一步建议

Recommendation rules

  • Prefer concrete task fit over keyword overlap.
  • Distinguish “direct match” from “adjacent match”.
  • If several skills overlap heavily, say so explicitly.
  • If a new skill request is already covered by existing skills, recommend reuse before new development.
  • If confidence is low, surface the ambiguity.

Read references as needed

  • Read references/recommendation-rules.md for ranking heuristics.
  • Read references/output-schema.md for the output schema.
  • Read references/dedup-mode.md when the user wants to avoid duplicate skill development.
