From 8c9e09fa81755ebc3c46973a6f5520f1801619bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geoff Johnson Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:42:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: define Skill model and add discovery from .agentd/skills/ From 2d662b9299c18ec359055a43ac43520ef9626190 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geoff Johnson Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:44:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] feat(orchestrator): add Skill model and discovery from .agentd/skills/ Add crates/orchestrator/src/skills.rs with: - Skill struct (name, description, content, source_path) - parse_frontmatter(): zero-dependency ---...--- block parser - discover_skills(dir): scans both /SKILL.md and .md layouts - discover_all_skills(): merges .agentd/skills/ + ~/.config/agentd/skills/ with project-level taking precedence on name collision Wire GET /skills into api.rs returning discover_all_skills() as JSON. Add pub mod skills to lib.rs. 16 unit tests covering: frontmatter parsing (name, description, quoted values, no frontmatter, unclosed, empty block), empty/missing directory, directory layout, flat layout, fallback names, non-.md file filtering, mixed layouts sorted by name, and malformed-file skipping. --- crates/orchestrator/src/api.rs | 11 + crates/orchestrator/src/lib.rs | 1 + crates/orchestrator/src/skills.rs | 419 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 431 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/orchestrator/src/skills.rs diff --git a/crates/orchestrator/src/api.rs b/crates/orchestrator/src/api.rs index a92ac45f..25a7f4b8 100644 --- a/crates/orchestrator/src/api.rs +++ b/crates/orchestrator/src/api.rs @@ -91,6 +91,7 @@ pub fn create_router(state: ApiState) -> Router { .route("/approvals/{id}", get(get_approval)) .route("/approvals/{id}/approve", post(approve_tool)) .route("/approvals/{id}/deny", post(deny_tool)) + .route("/skills", get(list_skills)) .route("/debug/agents", get(debug_agents)) .route("/events/ask", post(ask_event_handler)) // Project management @@ -637,6 +638,16 @@ struct DebugSummary { active_workflows: usize, } +/// `GET /skills` — list all discoverable skills. +/// +/// Scans `.agentd/skills/` (project-level) and `~/.config/agentd/skills/` +/// (user-level) and returns a JSON array of [`Skill`] objects.
