What it does
This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.
Assimilate Popular Workflows
Search public GitHub repositories for SKILL.md files, classify each repo by archetype, and maintain structured research documents under docs/reference-repos/[org]/[repo-name]/. The goal is not to copy skills verbatim but to extract transferable value: processes for the babysitter process library, babysitter marketplace plugin ideas, and implicit procedural knowledge that can be codified into babysitter JS processes.
Process Library Placement Rules
Extracted processes go into the babysitter process library (library/). Placement depends on scope:
| What it is | Where it goes | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Full generic dev methodology (entire workflow paradigm) | methodologies/<name>/ | agile, gsd, tdd, scrum, kanban, waterfall |
| Common cross-domain pattern (reusable across many specializations) | specializations/shared/ | audit-pipeline, expert-advisory, progressive-disclosure |
| Domain-specific process | specializations/<domain>/ | security-compliance, devops-sre-platform, data-science-ml |
Important: Do NOT place domain-specific processes in methodologies/. Only full, generic development methodologies belong there. A "k8s security audit" is specializations/security-compliance/, not a methodology. A "deep research pipeline" is specializations/shared/ (cross-domain). A "TDD agent workflow" is methodologies/atdd-tdd/ (full dev methodology).
Plugin Ideas = Babysitter Marketplace Plugins
A babysitter plugin is a set of natural language instructions (markdown) or deterministic coded processes (JS) that an AI agent reads and executes to install a modular set of capabilities. A plugin contains at minimum install.md with instructions the AI agent follows to modify the user's project. See docs/plugins.md for the full specification.
