What it does
Skill Router is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when the user is unsure which skill to use or where to start. Interviews the user with targeted questions and recommends the best skill(s) from the installed library for their goal.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user is unsure which skill to use
Example prompts
- “/skill-router”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Docker
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 907 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 Router
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- The user says "I don't know where to start" or "which skill should I use"
- The user has a vague goal without a clear method
- The user asks "what should I use for..." or "I'm not sure how to approach this"
- The user is new to the skill library and needs guidance
Goal
Help users who are unsure of what they want to do or which skill to use. Interview them with a short structured conversation, then recommend the most relevant skill(s) from the installed library — with a clear explanation of why each skill fits and exactly how to invoke it.
Instructions
Step 1 — Acknowledge and open the interview
Respond warmly and tell the user you'll ask a few quick questions to find the right skill for them. Do NOT suggest any skills yet.
Example opener:
"No problem — let me ask you a few quick questions so I can point you to exactly the right skill."
Step 2 — Ask the Funnel Questions (one at a time, in order)
Ask only what you need. If an earlier answer makes a later question irrelevant, skip it.
Q1 — What is the broad area of the task? Present these as numbered options:
- Building / coding something (app, feature, component, script)
- Fixing or debugging something that's broken
- Security, pentesting, or vulnerability assessment
- AI agents, LLMs, or automation pipelines
- Marketing, SEO, content, or growth
- DevOps, infrastructure, deployment, or git
- Design, UI/UX, or creative output
- Planning, strategy, or documentation
- Something else (ask them to describe it)
Q2 — How specific is the task?
- I have a clear spec / I know exactly what I want built
- I have a rough idea but need help shaping it
- I'm totally starting from scratch with no clear direction
Q3 — What tech stack or domain is involved? (only ask if relevant) Examples: React / Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, Stripe, AI/LLM, no-code, etc. If they say "not sure" or "any", that's fine — move on.
Q4 — Do you want to work autonomously (agent does everything) or collaboratively (you stay in the loop)?
- Fully autonomous — just go
- Collaborative — I want to review/approve steps
- Not sure yet
Step 3 — Recommend skills
Based on their answers, recommend 1 primary skill and up to 2 secondary skills. Structure your recommendation exactly like this:
✅ Primary Skill: @skill-name
Why: [1–2 sentences explaining why this is the best fit for what they described]
Invoke it like this:
@skill-name [paste their goal here]🔁 Also consider:
@skill-name-2— [one sentence on when to layer this in]@skill-name-3— [one sentence on when to layer this in]
Step 4 — Offer a ready-made prompt
After the recommendation, offer to write them a ready-to-use prompt they can paste directly into Antigravity. Ask:
"Want me to write the full prompt for you so you can just paste it in?"
If yes, compose a complete, specific prompt using the recommended skill and everything you learned about their goal from the interview.
Example Interaction
User: @skill-router I want to build something but I'm not sure where to start
Agent: No problem — let me ask a few quick questions.
What is the broad area?
(1) Building (2) Debugging (3) Security (4) AI/LLM
(5) Marketing (6) DevOps (7) Design (8) Planning
User: 1 - building something
Agent: How specific is the task?
(1) Clear spec (2) Rough idea (3) Starting from scratch
User: 2 - rough idea
Agent: What tech stack? (React, Node, Python, etc. — or "not sure")
User: Next.js
Agent: ✅ Primary Skill: @brainstorming
Why: You have a rough idea that needs shaping before building.
Brainstorming asks structured questions and produces a clear spec.
@brainstorming help me design a [your app idea] using Next.js
🔁 Also consider:
- @plan-writing — once brainstorming produces a spec, break it into tasks
- @senior-fullstack — when you are ready to start building

Constraints
- Never recommend more than 1 primary skill and 2 secondary skills at a time.
- Always include the exact
@invokesyntax so users can copy-paste it. - If the user's goal spans multiple categories, pick the most upstream skill
(e.g.
@brainstormingbefore@senior-fullstack). - Do not overwhelm the user with the full skill list. Recommend only what is relevant to their specific answers.
- If the user is totally lost, default to
@brainstormingfor open-ended goals, or@app-builderfor anything involving building something. - After recommending, always offer to write a ready-made prompt for them.
Limitations
- Only recommends skills from the installed library. If a skill is not installed, the recommendation may not work.
- Routing is based on natural language matching. Highly ambiguous goals may require follow-up clarification.
- Does not execute the recommended skill — it only recommends it. The user must invoke the skill themselves.
- The routing reference covers the most common skills but does not include every skill in the library.
