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
- Invoke
smart-skill-router if available; otherwise scan COMMANDS.md and the plugins/tradecraft/skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter.
- 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
- 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.
