name: adaptive-skill-factory description: Discover, install, update, or create the right skill when a workflow gap appears. Use when a task is repetitive, a role lacks a reliable procedure, an existing skill might save time, ClawHub search/install could help, or the agent should create a concise local skill for future reuse.

Adaptive Skill Factory

Use this skill to keep agents sharp without bloating every prompt.

Workflow

1. Classify the gap.

• Use no skill for one-off trivial tasks.
• Reuse a skill for repeated workflows, fragile procedures, or domain-specific tasks.
• Create a new skill only when the same gap is likely to recur.

2. Check existing skills first.

• Prefer workspace skills in <workspace>/skills.
• Then check shared skills loaded from configured extra skill directories.
• Reuse bundled skills when they already fit.

3. If internet and ClawHub are available, search before building.

• Search narrowly for the exact workflow.
• Install the smallest relevant skill, not a broad bundle.
• Avoid skills that overlap another role's boundary.

4. If no suitable skill exists, create a local skill.

• Put role-specific skills in <workspace>/skills/<skill-name>.
• Put cross-role reusable skills in D:\internal-hub\skills.
• Keep SKILL.md concise and procedural.
• Only include scripts, references, or assets when they save real effort.

5. Validate and iterate.

• Validate the skill after editing.
• Update the skill when the workflow changes or the agent struggles again.
• Delete or simplify stale skills that no longer help.

Role discipline

• Technical skills: only for code, deployment, automation, debugging, websites, scripts.
• Intelligence skills: only for research, verification, policy, news, or competitor analysis.
• Trade skills: only for suppliers, pricing, MOQ, lead time, procurement, stocks, crypto, funds, or trading analysis.
• Supervisor skills: only for task routing, progress reporting, review, and execution oversight.

Avoid

• Do not create skills for generic reasoning.
• Do not create skills that duplicate another role's job.
• Do not install large unrelated skill packs just because they are available.
• Do not let a skill become a dumping ground for long notes.
