Skills Reference — 37 Native Skills

DreamCode has 37 native skills organized in a dynamic dependency graph. Each skill is a TypeScript tool, not an external script.

Skill Chain Resolution

When a request arrives:

  1. Sensor Gate classifies intent and selects skills from the 37-node graph
  2. Dependency resolution ensures all transitive dependencies are included
  3. Chain executor runs selected skills in dependency order
  4. Results merged into a unified response

Adding Custom Skills

Skills live in ~/.config/dreamcode/skills/ or .dreamcode/skills/. Each skill is a directory with:

skill-name/
  SKILL.md       # Required: skill definition
  scripts/       # Optional: supporting scripts
  config/        # Optional: skill-specific config

See GUIDE.md for the complete skill authoring guide.
