Vikkypaedia Skill Radar is a lightweight meta-skill that helps an AI assistant choose the best saved skill, prompt pack, workflow, or tool before starting a task.
It is designed for people who collect many skills and then forget which one to use. Instead of memorizing names, the user can ask for a quick skill check:
Skill radar:
I am writing the discussion section for my manuscript.
The assistant should respond with a short recommendation:
Best fit: discussion-composer
Also useful later: claim-strength-calibrator
Use discussion-composer now?
- Routes a task to the most suitable saved skill.
- Works with current and future skills by reading skill metadata.
- Recommends a sequence when multiple skills are useful.
- Asks before switching workflows unless the user has already asked it to proceed.
- Helps structure growing personal skill libraries.
- Researchers managing many writing, analysis, and review skills.
- Developers using reusable agent workflows.
- Students and clinicians who want a reminder layer before drafting or analyzing.
- Anyone building a personal LLM skill library.
Copy the skill folder into your Codex skills directory:
~/.codex/skills/skill-radar
On Windows, this is usually:
C:\Users\<you>\.codex\skills\skill-radar
Then restart Codex so the skill is discovered.
Ask directly:
Use skill-radar to recommend the best saved skill for this task:
[paste your task]
Or use a short habit phrase:
Skill check:
I am about to polish a journal manuscript paragraph.
Or let it proceed automatically:
Pick the right saved skill and use it for this:
[paste your task]
This repository is written as a Codex skill, but the pattern is platform-neutral. For other assistants, adapt the core rule:
- Inspect available workflow/tool/skill descriptions.
- Match the user's task to the most specific workflow.
- Recommend at most three candidates.
- Ask before using a workflow unless the user explicitly says to proceed.
- If no workflow fits, continue normally.
