Pipeline orchestrator that classifies incoming coding tasks and routes them through the correct combination of skills at the right depth.

  • Works in 9 steps: Plan file (docs/plans/plan-NNN-.md) —… → Intent Frame — produced by… → Handoff file… → …
  • Tasks that involve Codebase knowledge for agents
  • SKILL.md covers Task Classification, Pipeline Selection, Activation Sequences and Depth Calibration, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Skill Pipeline is an agent skill from pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills. Pipeline orchestrator that classifies incoming coding tasks and routes them through the correct combination of skills at the right depth. Implements two feedback loops: the inner loop (detect, verify, recover) runs within a session via plan-interview, intent-framed-agent, context-surfing, verify-gate, self-healing (active recovery on failure), simplify-and-harden, and self-improvement. The outer loop (inspect, encode, regress-test) runs across sessions via learning-aggregator, harness-updater, and eval-creator…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/classification-rules.md` and `references/handoff-matrix.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Codebase knowledge for agents.

  4. Verify-gate signal — produced by verify-gate (pass/fail + diagnostics), consumed by simplify-and-harden (only activates after green gate)…

  6. Learning candidates (learning_loop.candidates) — produced by simplify-and-harden, consumed by self-improvement for pattern tracking.
  7. Learning entries (.learnings/*.md) — produced by self-improvement, consumed by learning-aggregator for cross-session analysis and by…
  8. Gap report — produced by learning-aggregator, consumed by harness-updater agent for promotion and eval-creator for test case generation.
  9. Eval cases (.evals/cases/*.md) — produced by eval-creator, consumed by regression runs and surfaced by pre-flight-check.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a836dc. 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 Pipeline loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 195 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~195
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,298 words (~3,592 tokens).

“The conductor, not a player. This skill classifies tasks, selects the pipeline variant, calibrates depth, and orchestrates handoffs between skills. It produces no artifacts of its own — its output is routing decisions that activate other skills.”
