skill-creatormeta-skill documenting a workflow for drafting, testing, and iterating on skills. - Added a new
skill-navigatormeta-skill documenting a workflow for choosing and sequencing skills, with an output format and examples.

|---|---|
| .github/skills/skill-navigator/SKILL.md | Adds a skill-selection/navigation meta-skill (process + output format + examples). |

💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.

| Find the right agent skill for a task, decide when to use a skill vs. inline reasoning, and sequence | ||
| skill calls efficiently. Use when the user asks which skill to use, when the workflow is uncertain, | ||
| or when a task would benefit from a proven reusable process. |

| **Task**: Add PostgreSQL migration workflow to a Node.js project | ||
| **Recommended skill(s)**: `codebase-recon`, `database-migration` | ||
| **Invocation timing**: Start with `codebase-recon` now, then use `database-migration` before implementing | ||
| **Rationale**: `codebase-recon` finds reference patterns and existing conventions first, while `database-migration` encodes the actual migration process and common failure modes. | ||
| **Chain**: `codebase-recon` → `database-migration` → implement → validate |

The repo needed canonical meta-skills for building and navigating skills rather than relying on fragmented guidance scattered across repositories. I installed the most authoritative, widely used patterns as actual agent skills under
.github/skillsso they are discoverable and usable as first-class capabilities.Scope
