OrchestKit Skill Directory
Dynamic skill discovery — reads from source at runtime so listings are never stale.
Quick Start
/ork:help # Show all categories /ork:help build # Show BUILD skills only /ork:help git # Show GIT skills only /ork:help all # List every user-invocable skill
Argument Resolution
CATEGORY = "$ARGUMENTS[0]" # Optional: build, git, memory, quality, config, explore, plan, media, all
If provided, skip AskUserQuestion and show that category directly.
$ARGUMENTS is the full string (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)
STEP 0: Dynamic Skill Discovery
ALWAYS run this first to get accurate, up-to-date skill data:
Scan all user-invocable skills from source
Grep(pattern="user-invocable:\s*true", path="src/skills", output_mode="files_with_matches")
For each matched file, extract name and description from frontmatter:
For each SKILL.md found, read first 15 lines to get name + description
Read(file_path="src/skills/{name}/SKILL.md", limit=15)
Build the skill list dynamically. Never hardcode counts or skill names.
STEP 1: Category Selection
If CATEGORY argument provided, skip to STEP 2 with that category.
Otherwise, present categories interactively:
AskUserQuestion(
questions=[{
"question": "What type of task are you working on?",
"header": "Category",
"options": [
{"label": "BUILD", "description": "Implement features, brainstorm, verify", "markdown": "\nBUILD — Feature Development\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:implement Full-power implementation\n/ork:brainstorm Design exploration\n/ork:verify Test & grade changes\n"},
{"label": "GIT", "description": "Commits, PRs, issues, branches", "markdown": "\nGIT — Version Control\n─────────────────────\n/ork:commit Conventional commits\n/ork:create-pr PR with validation\n/ork:review-pr 6-agent PR review\n/ork:fix-issue Debug + fix + PR\n"},
{"label": "PLAN", "description": "PRDs, plan visualization, assessment", "markdown": "\nPLAN — Design & Strategy\n────────────────────────\n/ork:visualize-plan ASCII plan rendering\n/ork:write-prd Product requirements\n/ork:assess Rate 0-10 + report\n"},
{"label": "MEMORY", "description": "Store decisions, search, recall", "markdown": "\nMEMORY — Knowledge Persistence\n──────────────────────────────\n/ork:remember Store decisions/patterns\n/ork:memory Search, recall, visualize\n"},
{"label": "QUALITY", "description": "Assess, review, diagnose", "markdown": "\nQUALITY — Assessment & Health\n─────────────────────────────\n/ork:assess Rate quality 0-10\n/ork:review-pr 6-agent PR review\n/ork:doctor Plugin health check\n"},
{"label": "CONFIG", "description": "Setup, diagnostics", "markdown": "\nCONFIG — Setup & Operations\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:setup Onboarding wizard\n/ork:doctor Health diagnostics\n/ork:configure Plugin settings\n"},
{"label": "EXPLORE", "description": "Codebase exploration and analysis", "markdown": "\nEXPLORE — Codebase Analysis\n───────────────────────────\n/ork:explore Multi-angle exploration\n 4 parallel agents\n Architecture visualization\n"},
{"label": "Show all", "description": "List every user-invocable skill"}
],
"multiSelect": false
}]
)
STEP 2: Render Category
For the selected category, render the skill table from the data gathered in STEP 0.
Category-to-Skill Mapping
Category Skills
BUILD implement, brainstorm, verify
GIT commit, create-pr, review-pr, fix-issue
PLAN visualize-plan, write-prd, assess
MEMORY remember, memory
QUALITY assess, review-pr, doctor
CONFIG setup, doctor, configure
EXPLORE explore
For each skill in the category, render:
/ork:{name} v{version} {complexity} {description} Example: /ork:{name} {argument-hint example}
"Show all" — Full Listing
If user picks "Show all", render ALL user-invocable skills grouped by category from STEP 0 data.

Pro Tip
You don't need to memorize skills. Just describe your task naturally:
"I need to implement user login" → /ork:implement "Show me the payment architecture" → /ork:explore "Review PR 123" → /ork:review-pr "Is this code good?" → /ork:assess "Plan out the billing redesign" → /ork:visualize-plan
