README

Excerpt

Purpose

Use this skill when the task seems to require specialized domain knowledge, scripts, or references that are not already obvious from the current context.

The full skill library is stored outside the auto-loaded harness context at:

/opt/graphskills/library

Do not manually scan that whole directory first. Retrieve a focused bundle.

Retrieve Relevant Skills

Run:

graphskills-query "short description of the task or current subproblem"

Useful flags:

graphskills-query "debug spring boot jakarta migration build errors" --top-n 5 --seed-top-k 4 --max-context-chars 9000
graphskills-query "extract text from receipts into xlsx" --json
