About this skill

Find and follow a Commonplace library procedure, instruction, or type by name. Use when the user names a Commonplace procedure or asks how Commonplace does something, and no more specific cp-skill applies.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by zby/commonplace in kb/instructions/cp-skill-library/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Request: $ARGUMENTS

Intent. Get the agent from a name or topic the user gives to the library file that governs it, and follow that file. The library indexes itself: every document in it carries a description: line, so searching those lines finds the right file without a separate list that could fall out of date.

This skill lives in the library's instructions/ directory; the library root is its parent. Resolve the paths below from this file's real location.

  • A procedure or instruction: search the description: lines of the Markdown files under ../ (the instructions directory, including skill directories) for the request's terms. Read the best match and follow it. If several fit, name them and ask which one the user means.
  • A type: read ../../types/<name>.md, or list ../../types/ when the name is uncertain.
  • Background or rationale: start from ../../notes/tags-README.md or ../../reference/README.md.

Links inside library files are relative to each file. If nothing matches, say so rather than guessing.
