Tool Inventory Init: The Librarian's Setup 🛠️
Initialize the semantic Tool Inventory for a new project. This is the first-run workflow for tracking executable scripts.
Architecture Note: This skill delegates the actual data storage and generation to the
rlm-factoryplugin, but it strongly enforces a pre-configured schema specifically forplugins/andplugins/scripts.
When to Use
- Setting up Agent Skills inside a new root project repository.
- Rebuilding the tool inventory ledger from scratch after severe corruption.
- Moving from legacy JSON-only tracking to modern RLM tracking.
Interactive Setup Protocol
Step 1: Execute Initialization Script
Run the automated bootstrapping script. This script will ensure .agent/learning/rlm_profiles.json exists and will inject a tools profile if it doesn't.
python3 .agents/skills/tool-inventory-init/scripts/tool_inventory_init.py
Step 2: Serial Agent Distillation
The script above creates the target manifest, but YOU (the Agent) will execute the initial distillation pass if Ollama is unavailable, or you can delegate to batch mode if the project is massive.
Check what needs to be cached using the auditor:
# Hand off to the rlm-factory namespace
Trigger the 'rlm-curator' skill
If there are uncached tools:
Option A (Agent Distillation) - Recommended for < 20 tools: For each file identified as missing:
- Read the tool script.
- Summarize its purpose, layer, and CLI usage.
- Trigger the 'rlm-curator' skill to inject the summary
Option B (Batch Distillation) - Recommended for > 20 tools:
# Hand off to the rlm-factory namespace
Trigger the 'rlm-distill-agent' skill
Step 3: Verify
Run the audit again to confirm 100% coverage:
# Hand off to the rlm-factory namespace
Trigger the 'rlm-curator' skill
After Init
- The semantic registry is now active. You no longer need to run this command.
- Use
manage_tool_inventory.py(inside thetool-inventoryskill) to register single new scripts organically during development.

29learning-loop
(Industry standard: Loop Agent / Single Agent) Primary Use Case: Self-contained research, content generation, and exploration where no inner delegation is required. Self-directed research and knowledge capture loop. Use when: starting a session (Orientation), performing research (Synthesis), or closing a session (Seal, Persist, Retrospective). Ensures knowledge survives across isolated agent sessions.
26ollama-launch
Start and verify the local Ollama LLM server. Use when Ollama is needed for RLM distillation, seal snapshots, embeddings, or any local LLM inference — and it's not already running. Checks if Ollama is running, starts it if not, and verifies the health endpoint.
