Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED Architect bar at the impl gate — whether an agent-configuration artifact is well-formed as configuration. Loaded by the ACED impl-producer to self-align and by the impl-judge to grade. Not triggered by users directly.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED Builder bar at the impl gate — the frozen .feature conformance criteria. Loaded by the ACED impl-producer to self-align and by the impl-judge to verify. Not triggered by users directly.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED Builder bar at the spec gate — the agent-configuration contract criteria. Loaded by the ACED spec-producer to self-align and by the spec-judge to grade. Not triggered by users directly.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED fit classifier — which of ACED's eval layers carry real signal for a subject. Loaded by the ACED spec-producer and the spec-judge. Not triggered by users directly.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED impl-producer's diagnose-and-refine loop — loaded by define-agent, define-skill, and define-governance, and by the public improve skill for ACED-tracked targets, not user-triggered.

Use this skill when adding a new scenario to an ACED .feature suite — from a real failure, a production edge case, or a gap the user noticed.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED eval-result freshness check — decides whether a recorded result still describes the configuration on disk, not user-triggered.

Use this skill when comparing two versions of an agent configuration to detect regressions or confirm improvements before committing a change.

Use this skill when contributing local improvements to an installed skill back to its source repo via PR.

Use this skill when the user wants to create or improve an agent definition — a named, reusable role that can be delegated to as a subagent, loaded in-context as a persona, or both. Trigger on "create an agent", "write a conductor", "make an agent definition", "define a persona", "build a dual-mode agent", or "add an invokable agent".

Use this skill when the user wants to create or improve a command — a user-invoked-only slash workflow (`/name`) that never auto-triggers from the model. Trigger on "create a command", "add a slash command", "make a /deploy command", "add a user-only workflow", "convert this skill to a command", or "stop this skill from auto-triggering", even if they do not say "command" explicitly. Not for a companion command scaffolded alongside an agent definition — whether it adopts that agent in-session or gateways to it as a subagent (define-agent) — an auto-triggered workflow skill (define-skill), or a reference-only rule set (define-governance).

Create or revise a governance file — reference-only criteria or rules that other skills and agents load on demand. Use when the target is the criteria file itself, even if the user just says "write standards for" or "improve this governance".

Use this skill when the user wants to create, scaffold, or formalize a workflow skill — a process, tool-based, or standard SKILL.md — from scratch or from an existing ad-hoc workflow. Trigger on "create a skill", "write a skill for X", "I want a skill that…", "turn this workflow into a skill", or "help me build this skill", even if they do not say "skill" explicitly. Not for agent definitions or personas (define-agent), reference-only rule sets (define-governance), or extracting the current session (skillify).

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED blind-brief extractor — loaded by aced-case-judge to compose a simulating context's brief, not user-triggered.

Use this skill when the user wants to improve an existing agent configuration — a skill, subagent, command, or AGENTS.md section — whether by diagnosing failing ACED evals or by general review against fit and quality bars. Trigger on "improve this skill", "make this agent better", "why does this config keep failing", or "review this AGENTS.md section", even when no eval suite exists yet.

Audit, improve, or write a SKILL.md — check description trigger coverage, structure, security, and agentskills.io compliance. Use when reviewing or creating a skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot CLI, or any agentskills-compatible runtime, even if the user says "my skill isn't triggering", "review before I publish", or "check this skill."

Use this skill to register ACED as the SDD plugin for agent-configuration domains — writes an aced role-map entry to .agents/universal-plugin.json so the conductor resolves the ACED production-chain roles for skills, subagents, commands, and AGENTS.md sections.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED manage-gateway skill-inventory engine — loaded in-session by the manage gateway, not user-triggered.

Use this skill when doing manage-level (non-mission) ACED work — inspecting or maintaining the agent-config tooling ACED evaluates, such as "set up the per-model runner agents", "list the model runners", "list the installed skills", or "validate/repair the repo-private skills". Routes to the matching engine; it does not author a config (define-agent / define-skill) or change what ACED specifies (start-mission).

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED manage-model-runners engine — loaded in-session by the ACED manage gateway, not user-triggered.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — config-authoring/skill-dirs' curation engine for the extra skill-scan locations improve-skill's validate engine uses — loaded by the manage gateway, not triggered by users directly.

Partial Skill: invoke by name only — the ACED manage-gateway engine that validates and repairs repo-private skill hygiene — loaded in-session by the ACED manage gateway, not user-triggered.

Use this skill when the user wants a project-wide health summary of all ACED eval suites — pass rates, trends, and which agent configurations need attention.

Use this skill when running ACED evals to score agent configuration behavior against its frozen .feature suite — after editing a skill, AGENTS.md section, subagent, or command.

Use this skill when generalizing what the current session actually did into a reusable SKILL.md — "skillify this", "turn what we just did into a skill", "make this reusable". Not for scaffolding a skill from scratch (define-skill), extracting the session into an agent or persona (define-agent), a reference-only rule set (define-governance), or diagnosing failing evals (improve).
