Discovery and Routing

Discovery and Routing

The curator decides when to use built-in skills, installed skills, fresh GitHub search, curated indexes, or no external skill at all.

Routing Decisions

Decision	Use When
use_builtin_now	The task is one-off, simple, or already covered by built-in/system capabilities.
use_installed_skill	A local specialized skill clearly matches and is not stale, noisy, or unsafe.
search_before_execution	The task is repeated, high-value, fidelity-sensitive, or likely to benefit from a better skill.
ask_user_before_search	Search might help, but the value is uncertain.

High-Value Discovery Lanes

Run the task radar for important work where missing a specialized skill can hurt quality:

python scripts/task_skill_radar.py "<task description>"

Use fresh search when needed:

python scripts/task_skill_radar.py "<task description>" --run-search --force-refresh

High-value lanes include:

• academic research and research-paper writing;
• literature review, citations, BibTeX, reviewer response, rebuttal;
• LaTeX, formulas, math notes, TikZ, compiled PDFs;
• resume/CV tailoring, ATS, cover letters, job applications;
• graduate applications, SOP/PS, scholarships;
• DOCX, PDF, XLSX, and report workflows.

Curated Index Discovery

Use curated indexes to reduce screening cost, not to bypass safety:

python scripts/find_curated_indexes.py "<task description>" --top 8

If no strong curated index exists:

python scripts/build_skill_roundup.py "<task description>" --top 12

Core Reusable Task Lane

For repeated artifact workflows such as PPTX, DOCX, PDF, and XLSX, use pinned core checks before generic search:

python scripts/ensure_core_skills.py pptx

Only install pinned or strict-tier candidates after review and approval.

中文说明

Curator 的第一步不是立刻搜索 GitHub，而是判断是否真的需要新 skill。

路由原则：

情况	处理方式
内置能力足够	不搜索、不安装。
本地已安装 skill 明确匹配	使用本地 skill。
任务高价值、重复、需要最新工具或存在能力缺口	搜索候选 skill。
候选质量不明	只阅读和评分，不直接安装。
候选高风险	拒绝或建议隔离。

不要把它写成普通任务 skill。它的核心是 skill discovery、scoring、risk scan 和 install governance。
