Skills Planner

Plan and compose skills to fulfill user requirements efficiently.

Workflow

1. Analyze Requirements - Understand user goals and constraints
2. Evaluate Existing Skills - Match requirements to available skills
3. Identify Gaps - Determine what capabilities are missing
4. Design New Skills - Specify requirements for missing skills (if any)
5. Compose Agent - Design system prompt for the agent using all skills
6. Present Plan - Output structured plan for user confirmation

Input Requirements

Before planning, gather:

• User Requirements: What the user wants to accomplish
• Existing Skills List: Available skills with their descriptions

Planning Process

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

Break down user requirements into discrete capabilities:

User Request: "Build an agent that can analyze financial reports"

Required Capabilities:
1. PDF reading/parsing
2. Data extraction (tables, numbers)
3. Financial metrics calculation
4. Report generation
5. Visualization (charts)

Step 2: Evaluate Existing Skills

For each capability, check if an existing skill covers it:

Capability: PDF reading/parsing
Existing Skill Match: pdf (extracts text/tables from PDFs) ✓

Capability: Financial metrics calculation
Existing Skill Match: None found ✗

Selection Criteria:

• Prefer skills that directly match the capability
• Consider skill scope (narrow and focused > broad and generic)
• Check for overlapping functionality to avoid redundancy

Step 3: Identify Gaps

List capabilities not covered by existing skills. These become candidates for new skills.

Gap Analysis Questions:

• Is this capability truly necessary, or can existing skills be combined?
• Can the base model handle this without a skill?
• Is this capability reusable across other tasks?

Step 4: Design New Skills (if needed)

For each gap, specify:
