Run skill-scout
SkillFiles & storageRun the skill-scout loop — scan the next batch of unscanned JVM-conference rosters for speaker-created AI skills and apply results to the CSV store via the overnight Workflow. Use when the user says "run skill-scout", "continue the skill-scout loop", "scan more conferences", or wants to grow the skill candidate list.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the Run skill-scout skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by jvm-skills/jvm-skills in .agents/skills/skill-scout/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Launch the skill-scout loop over the unscanned conference queue. Full design + pipeline:
skill-scout/README.md. Invoking this skill is the explicit opt-in to run the Workflow.
Steps
-
Today's date. Use the real current date as
YYYY-MM-DD(it stamps the CSVs — never hardcode). -
Check the queue.
python3 skill-scout/harness/queue.py | python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(len(d['confs']),'unscanned'); [print(' ',c['slug']) for c in d['confs'][:30]]"If 0 unscanned: the queue is empty — tell the user to append fresh JVM/Kotlin conferences (2024–26) to
skill-scout/db/conferences.csv, or stop. Do not fabricate conferences. -
Launch the Workflow (one batch, self-committing):
Workflow({ scriptPath: "skill-scout/harness/overnight.workflow.js", args: { limit: 25, today: "<today>", autoCommit: true } })limit: 25covers a full batch (the tested size); pass a smallerlimitfor a quick run.autoCommit: truemakes ONE scoped commit at the end (onlyskill-scout/db,candidates.md,review.html,rules/*.md; aborts if anything else is staged). Omit it if the user wants to reviewreview.htmlbefore committing.- It runs in the background; a task-notification fires on completion.
-
On completion, report the delta from the result JSON:
found/needs_review/bundles, the per-confvalidation(must bePASS), andbrowserNeeded(confs whose roster needed the agent-browser fallback and may warrant a re-run). Then point the user atskill-scout/review.html— the human reviews it and promotes rows intoskills/*.yaml(see top-levelCONTRIBUTING.md).
Options (pass in args when asked)
| Want | Arg |
|---|---|
| Higher-rigor adversarial recheck | recheckModel: "opus" (slower/pricier; delete stale harness/recheck_*.json first — the cache is model-blind) |
| Dry run (no CSV writes) | dryApply: true |
| Specific conference(s) only | slugs: ["<slug>", …] |
| Re-judge from cached scans (no re-scan) | evalOnly: [{slug,name,url}, …] |
Notes
- One conference is the unit of work; the
db/*.csvfiles are the state. A relaunch resumes cheaply from the per-conf caches inharness/(gitignored), so an interrupted run is safe to re-launch. - A full-queue run is long (serial GitHub scan, ~15 min/conf) — it's meant to run AFK. Monitor with
/workflows; serial phases self-recover from GitHub rate-limiting.
