# Search — Skill Discovery Entry Point One of the **five entry-point commands** for Tradecraft. Call it to find the right specialist skill for your task without scrolling through 169 names. ## Invocation ```text /tradecraft:search [keyword...] # examples /tradecraft:search # overview of the 5 entry points /tradecraft:search breakout strategy # shortlist matching "breakout" /tradecraft:search risk sizing # shortlist matching "risk sizing" /tradecraft:search ict order blocks # shortlist matching ICT concepts /tradecraft:search mcp # shortlist matching Claude-Code MCP skills ``` ## What Claude Should Return ### No keyword — show the 5 primary commands Output a compact menu: ``` Tradecraft has 169 skills. Start with one of these 5 entry points: /tradecraft:analyze <SYMBOL> One-shot analysis for any ticker /tradecraft:search <keyword> Find the right specialist skill /tradecraft:markets [watchlist] Live scan of key symbols /tradecraft:recommendations [watchlist] Ranked trade setups right now /tradecraft:strategies [name] Strategy selector / deep-dive Power users: every specialist skill is directly invocable as /tradecraft:<skill-name> (see COMMANDS.md for the full list) ``` ### With a keyword — shortlist 1. Invoke `smart-skill-router` if available; otherwise scan `COMMANDS.md` and the `plugins/tradecraft/skills/*/SKILL.md` frontmatter. 2. Return the top 5-8 matches as: ``` Matching "breakout strategy": /tradecraft:zone-refinement-sniper-entry Precise entry inside POI /tradecraft:dan-zanger-breakout-strategy Classic momentum breakout /tradecraft:gold-orb-ea Opening-range breakout for gold /tradecraft:strategy-selection Pick the right strategy for regime /tradecraft:ict-smart-money BOS/CHoCH structure Closest fit: /tradecraft:strategy-selection Quick invoke: /tradecraft:strategy-selection XAUUSD H1 ``` 3. Highlight the best match as "Closest fit" with a ready-to-run command. ## Design Rules (so output stays useful, not a data dump) - Cap matches at 8. If more, show top 5 + "... and N more — run `/tradecraft:search <more-specific-keyword>`". - Each match is one line: `command` + one-clause purpose (pulled from the skill's frontmatter `description`). - End with one "Closest fit" recommendation and a copy-pasteable invocation. - Never return the full 169-skill list — that's what COMMANDS.md is for. ## Related - `smart-skill-router` — underlying semantic skill search engine this wraps - `analyze` / `markets` / `recommendations` / `strategies` — the other 4 entry points - `COMMANDS.md` (repo root) — canonical full reference
