Skill Descriptions
The repository ships 14 loaded skills: five meta-skills that route to on-demand guides, eight content-pipeline skills, and one standalone tool. This layout keeps the always-loaded skill descriptions under 1% of a 200K context window (~1,000 tokens) and well below Claude Code's 30-skill limit.
Meta-Skills (routers)
Each meta-skill matches your request against a keyword routing table, then
loads the matching guide from its references/ directory.
| Meta-Skill | Routes | Use for |
|---|---|---|
book-installer |
init-textbook scaffold (feature 0), 40 install features (math, mascot, learning-graph viewer, Google Analytics, 404, kanban…), book-metrics | Project scaffold, infrastructure, reports |
microsim-generator |
p5, chartjs, plotly, mermaid, vis-network, timeline, map, venn, bubble, comparison-table, celebration, causal-loop, concept-classifier, infographic-overlay, docker-python-lab | Every interactive MicroSim type |
microsim-utils |
standardization, screen-capture, add-icons, index-generator, iframe height/testing tools, layout-reviewer, diagram-reports | MicroSim QA and maintenance |
book-media-generator |
marp-deck (web slides), pptx-lecture (PowerPoint), story (graphic novels), verified-infographic (fact-checked posters), chapter-images (Wikimedia sourcing), text-to-speech, pronounce-button | Slides, illustrations, images, audio |
book-publisher |
readme, linkedin-post, linkedin-carousel, press-release | Publishing and promotion — all routes read docs/learning-graph/book-metrics.json |
Content-Pipeline Skills
These remain standalone because each is a complex multi-step workflow:
- Course Description Analyzer — validate/score the course description
- Learning Graph Generator — 200-concept DAG with taxonomy and quality reports
- Book Chapter Structure Generator — chapter design from the learning graph
- Chapter Content Generator — full chapter text, diagrams, exercises
- Glossary Generator — ISO 11179-compliant definitions
- FAQ Generator — Bloom's-distributed FAQ with quality reports
- Quiz Generator — per-chapter multiple-choice quizzes
- Reference Generator — curated per-chapter references
Plus one standalone tool: docx-to-web-publisher (.docx → Next.js content pages).
Where Did Skill X Go?
Eighteen former standalone skills were consolidated into the meta-skills
above. The verbatim originals live in skills/archived/ in the repository,
whose README holds the full alias map (old name → new route → trigger
keywords). Highlights:
| Former skill | Now |
|---|---|
| init-textbook | book-installer feature 0 |
| register-book-analytics | book-installer feature 25 |
| concept-classifier, causal-loop-diagram-generator, interactive-infographic-overlay, docker-python-lab | microsim-generator routes |
| diagram-reports-generator | microsim-utils route |
| marp-generator, textbook-to-presentation-generator, story-generator, verified-infographic-generator, chapter-image-enhancer, text-to-speech, pronounce-button | book-media-generator routes |
| readme-generator, linkedin-announcement-generator, linkedin-carousel-generator, press-release-generator | book-publisher routes |
The per-skill pages under Book, MicroSims, and Specialized are kept as legacy snapshots so existing links keep working — the routing tables above are the current source of truth.
