Skills Index Snippets
This is meta-infrastructure for skill repositories: it helps you generate and maintain routing snippets that go into AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files so coding assistants know which skills to invoke for which tasks. You get two formats: a readable markdown routing table and a compressed Vercel-style index that saves tokens. It's designed for the dotnet-skills repository but the pattern works anywhere you have a collection of skills that need dispatching. The workflow is straightforward: when you add or remove skills, update plugin.json, run the generator script, and copy the snippet into downstream repos. Honest take: this is housekeeping that pays off if you maintain skill collections and find assistants aren't invoking the right ones without explicit routing hints.

When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Adding, removing, or renaming any skills or agents in this repository
- Updating
.claude-plugin/plugin.json - Creating copy/paste snippets for downstream repositories (OpenCode, Claude Code, etc.)
- You want a compact, always-on index that improves skill utilization
Goal
Make skills and agents easy for coding assistants to use by removing the decision point.
Instead of hoping an assistant will "remember" to invoke a skill, provide a small router snippet inside AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md that:
- Tells the assistant to prefer retrieval-led reasoning
- Provides a task->skill/agent routing index
- Defines lightweight quality gates (optional)
Source of Truth
- Registry:
.claude-plugin/plugin.json- Skills are listed as directories (each contains
SKILL.md) - Agents are listed as markdown files in
