| description | Diagnose features into the right LLM component type — Skill, Agent, or Command wrapper. Use when users ask whether something should be a skill, need to decide between command or agent, want to diagnose a feature's type, or make structure and architecture decisions for LLM components. Do NOT use for actual implementation or general coding tasks. |
Structure Organizer
Organize features into the right structure: Command, Skill, or Agent for AI coding assistants.
Quick Reference
Core Types (Knowledge Layer)
| Component | Trigger | Reasoning | Execution | Use When |
|---|
| Skill | Auto-load on keywords / direct @path | None | No execution (knowledge) | Domain expertise to share |
| Agent | Goal assigned | LLM decides | Dynamic, iterative | Multi-step planning required |
Optional Wrapper (Access Layer)
| Component | Trigger | Purpose | Use When |
|---|
| Command | Human /command | UI entry point + constraints over Skill/Agent | allowed-tools restriction, dangerous ops, structured $ARGUMENTS, frequent shortcut |
Key insight: Command is NOT a parallel type to Skill/Agent. It is an access pattern — a UI + security wrapper placed over Skills or Agents when human entry point and platform constraints are needed.

Knowledge Layer: Skill (knowledge) | Agent (reasoning)
Access Layer: Command (optional UI + constraints wrapper)
Common Patterns
| Pattern | Structure | Use When |
|---|
| Skill only | Direct invocation via @path or keywords | Most cases — knowledge is self-sufficient |
| Agent + Skills | Executor + Knowledge | Agent needs domain expertise |
| Command wrapping Skill | Entry + Knowledge + Constraints | Tool restriction or frequent human shortcut needed |
| Command wrapping Agent | Entry → Executor | User triggers dangerous/complex work |
| Full Stack | Command → Agent → Skills → Tools | Critical ops needing all layers |

Output
This skill outputs:
- Diagnosis - Core type (Skill / Agent) + whether Command wrapper is needed
- Spec Template - Filled template from
references/templates/
- Rationale - Why this type, why not others, and why Command wrapper is or isn't needed
Note: This skill diagnoses what type to use. Implementation is handled by the calling Command.
