Skills Router

Routes tasks to appropriate skills using semantic discovery across skill databases.

Skill Databases

Database	Location	Count	Purpose
skill-db	~/.claude/skill-db/	67+	Primary skill source
skill-library	~/.claude/skill-library/	48+	Heavy/categorized skills
skills (active)	~/.claude/skills/	Variable	Currently loaded skills

Skill Categories

Routing Logic

# Semantic skill search
ck --sem "{query}" ~/.claude/skill-db/ --top-k 5

# Skill discovery metasystem
# (Invokes skill-discovery skill)

# mcp-skillset (when available)
mcp-skillset search "{query}"

Skill Loading Protocol

progressive_loading:
  level_0: Read SKILL.md frontmatter only
  level_1: Read full SKILL.md
  level_2: Load references/*.md
  level_3: Load scripts/ and full capability

load_triggers:
  - Explicit skill invocation
  - Semantic match > 0.7
  - Domain keyword match
  - User request

Integration

• skill-discovery: Semantic skill search
• skill-rag-router: GraphRAG-based routing
• mcp-skillset: MCP skill discovery
• ck: Semantic code search for skill content

Quick Reference

# Find skill semantically
ck --sem "formal reasoning proof" ~/.claude/skill-db/

# Load skill progressively
1. Check skill-db/{skill}/SKILL.md
2. If not found, check skill-library/{skill}/SKILL.md
3. Load frontmatter, then full skill on demand

# Skill invocation
/skill_name or invoke via Skill tool
