| description | Suggest community skills based on recent activity in other plugins. Checks whether the community has built something relevant to a task and mentions it once, non-intrusively. Use when the user says "is there a community skill for this", "what else is out there", or asks for skill recommendations; also runs passively as part of other plugins' workflows.

- Load
~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/legal-builder-hub/practice-profile.md → practice profile.
- Use the workflow below.
- Check what other plugins have been doing. Match against registry.
- Suggest: "You've been doing X — community has a skill for Y that's related."
Purpose
The community might have built the thing you're about to build. This skill notices and mentions it — once, briefly, non-annoyingly.
How it runs
This skill surfaces related community skills after a task. It can be invoked directly by the user ("what else is out there for X?") or wired into other plugins via a Stop hook — the hook-based pattern requires each sibling plugin to declare a Stop hook that calls this skill, which is not wired by default. Without the hook wiring, invoke it directly.
Other plugins can include a light check at the end of a task:
"The legal-builder-hub found a community skill that might help with this kind of thing: [name] — [one-line]. Want to take a look?"
Load context
~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/legal-builder-hub/practice-profile.md → practice profile, installed skills (don't suggest what's already installed).
The match
Given a task description (what the user was just doing), find registry skills that match:
- Keyword overlap between the task and skill descriptions
- Practice profile fit (don't suggest litigation skills to a transactional lawyer)
- Not already installed
Threshold: Only surface if the match is strong. Weak matches are noise. Better to surface nothing than to annoy.
Output
If strong match:
If no strong match: silent. No output. Don't announce "I found nothing."
Frequency limit
Don't surface the same skill twice. If the user didn't install it the first time, they saw it and decided no. Track dismissals in references/surfaced.json.
User control
Per ~/.codebuddy/plugins/config/legal-workflows/legal-builder-hub/practice-profile.md → new skill notifications:
- All: Surface any match
- Matching practice profile: Filter by profile (default)
- None: This skill is off
Close with the next-steps decision tree
End with the next-steps decision tree per practice-profile.md ## Outputs. Customize the options to what this skill just produced — the five default branches (draft the X, escalate, get more facts, watch and wait, something else) are a starting point, not a lock-in. The tree is the output; the lawyer picks.
What this skill does not do
- Install anything.
- Interrupt a task in progress. Surfacing happens at the end of a task, not in the middle.
- Nag. One mention per skill, ever.
