What it does

Skill Router is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Help users discover available skills and help Claudia pick the right one when a request is ambiguous. Two surfaces: discovery (user says "what can you do?", "/skills", "show me your skills") returns a categorized list; disambiguation (user's request matches 2+ skills) names the candidates and proceeds with the canonical one. Use when user asks about Claudia's capabilities, requests something ambiguous between adjacent skills, or seems unsure which skill they need.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/overlap-clusters.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about Claudias capabilities
  • Requests something ambiguous between adjacent skills
  • Seems unsure which skill they need

Example prompts

  • “what can you do?”
  • “/skills”
  • “show me your skills”
  • “/skill-router”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Users don't know what's available. They type "morning brief" because they've seen /morning-brief somewhere, but they don't know…
  2. Ambiguous requests fire the wrong skill. "Summarize this" could be summarize-doc, capture-meeting, or file-document depending on what…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skill Router loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 806 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 806 words (~2,137 tokens).

“Two jobs: help the user find the skill they need, and help me (Claudia) pick the right skill when their request straddles two or more.”
