Installed Skill Help Router
Open the AgentKit help index, discover the currently installed skills from runtime catalogs or live SKILL.md frontmatter, and route the user to the most specific workflow.
01
Read request
02
Use live catalog
03
Discover frontmatter
04
Filter candidates
Rule 01
Installed state beats remembered skill lists.
Rule 02
Help should route to the most specific usable skill, not advertise everything.
Rule 03
Command examples come from current command help or relevant SKILL.md metadata.
Execution Map
Core lanes from input to output, aligned with the command's real execution path.
01
Start
Input, scope, route
- 1 Read request Determine whether the user asks how to use ak, what skills exist, whether a named skill is installed, or which workflow fits.
- 2 Use live catalog Prefer the runtime installed-skill catalog when available.
02
Work
Agent / skill execution
- 3 Discover frontmatter If no catalog exists, discover current SKILL.md files from active project and user skill roots, reading frontmatter only for relevant candidates.
- 4 Filter candidates Summarize only skills that fit the request instead of dumping the entire registry.
03
Verify
Gate, review, validation
- 5 Route specifically When the task is clear, recommend the most specific installed skill and say plainly when a referenced skill is not installed.
- 6 Read command help When the user needs syntax, read current ak --help or the relevant command help rather than relying on prose as a registry.
Syntax, arguments, subcommands
How to invoke the skill: syntax, positional arguments, shared options, then each subcommand with its own syntax and outcome.

Sample Prompt
Concrete invocations for each flag, subcommand, mode, or route available in the live workflow.
Open help index Recommended
/ak:help- Use when:
- The user asks how to use AgentKit or wants a starting point.
- Expected:
- Opens with the installed AgentKit help context, prefers the live skill catalog, and gives a concise index or next best route.
Choose workflow
/ak:help which workflow should I run for a bug with unknown root cause?- Use when:
- The user describes a task but does not know which installed skill fits.
- Expected:
- Filters the installed candidates to the task, routes to the most specific debugging or investigation skill, and briefly explains the fit.
Check skill availability
/ak:help do I have a skill for creating project documentation?- Use when:
- The user asks whether a capability exists in the current installation.
- Expected:
- Uses the runtime catalog or relevant SKILL.md frontmatter, reports matching installed skills only, and says plainly if none are installed.
Need command syntax
/ak:help how do I list installed skills from the CLI?- Use when:
- The user needs an exact command shape rather than a broad skill recommendation.
- Expected:
- Reads current ak help or the relevant subcommand help before giving syntax, and keeps examples scoped to the installed kit.
Handled Scope
- Installed skill discovery
- Workflow routing
- Frontmatter-only candidate lookup
- Command help summarization

Help answer
Pattern
Relevant installed skills, why they fit, exact command shape only when verified from current help or metadata. The output is a routing answer, not a static command registry.
