description	Interactive Tool Inventory bootstrap. Use this when initializing a new project repo to configure the semantic tracking of Python/JS tools. It creates a dedicated RLM profile specifically for tools and performs the first intelligent distillation pass.

Tool Inventory Init: The Librarian's Setup 🛠️

Initialize the semantic Tool Inventory for a new project. This is the first-run workflow for tracking executable scripts.

Architecture Note: This skill delegates the actual data storage and generation to the rlm-factory plugin, but it strongly enforces a pre-configured schema specifically for plugins/ and plugins/ scripts.

When to Use

• Setting up Agent Skills inside a new root project repository.
• Rebuilding the tool inventory ledger from scratch after severe corruption.
• Moving from legacy JSON-only tracking to modern RLM tracking.

Interactive Setup Protocol

Step 1: Execute Initialization Script

Run the automated bootstrapping script. This script will ensure .agent/learning/rlm_profiles.json exists and will inject a tools profile if it doesn't.

python3 plugins/skills/tool-inventory-init/scripts/tool_inventory_init.py

Step 2: Serial Agent Distillation

The script above creates the target manifest, but YOU (the Agent) will execute the initial distillation pass if Ollama is unavailable, or you can delegate to batch mode if the project is massive.

Check what needs to be cached using the auditor:

python3 plugins/../rlm-factory/skills/rlm-curator/scripts/inventory.py --profile tools

If there are uncached tools:

Option A (Agent Distillation) - Recommended for < 20 tools: For each file identified as missing:

1. Read the tool script.
2. Summarize its purpose, layer, and CLI usage.
3. Write the summary using python plugins/rlm-factory/skills/rlm-curator/scripts/inject_summary.py --profile tools --file "..." --summary "..."

Option B (Batch Distillation) - Recommended for > 20 tools:

python3 plugins/../rlm-factory/skills/rlm-curator/scripts/distiller.py --type tool

Step 3: Verify

Run the audit again to confirm 100% coverage:

python3 plugins/../rlm-factory/skills/rlm-curator/scripts/inventory.py --profile tools

After Init

• The semantic registry is now active. You no longer need to run this command.
• Use manage_tool_inventory.py (inside the tool-inventory skill) to register single new scripts organically during development.
