# SKILLS-ACTIVE.md - My Active Toolkit

This is the list of skills I actively use for TekDek operations. Check this before work to ensure I'm using the right tools.

## Core Operations

### 🔍 Memory & Context
- **self-improving** — Load before major work to compound execution quality
  - Lessons learned, workflow preferences, style patterns
  - Update after corrections or failed attempts
  - Location: `~/self-improving/memory.md`

### 📝 Documentation & Organization
- **qmd__query** — Knowledge base search (lex/vec/hyde)
  - Search TekDek projects, personas, and strategic docs
  - Use for: project specs, persona details, architectural decisions
- **qmd__get** — Retrieve full documents
- **qmd__multi_get** — Batch retrieve by pattern

### 🔧 Infrastructure & Execution
- **exec** — Run shell commands
  - Git operations (sync Brain, push changes)
  - File operations (organize, archive)
  - Build/deploy tasks (when applicable)
- **git** — Direct git control (if available)

### 💾 File Operations
- **read** — Read files (text, markdown, images)
- **write** — Create/overwrite files
- **edit** — Targeted text replacements in files

### 🌐 External Access
- **web_search** — DuckDuckGo search for info
- **web_fetch** — Extract content from URLs
- **browser** — Browser automation (screenshots, form filling)
  - Use when visual verification or interaction needed

### 💬 Communication
- **message** — Send messages to Discord, Slack, etc.
  - Use sparingly; only with explicit recipient/channel
  - Main agent handles general chat
- **tts** — Text-to-speech (storytelling, announcements)

## Conditional / Special Purpose

### 📧 Email (himalaya skill)
- For: Reading/managing workspace emails
- When: Explicitly needed for TekDek ops

### 🎯 Project-Specific
- **gitea** — Interact with `git.tekdek.dev`
  - Issues, PRs, releases
- **clawhub** — Install/publish agent skills
  - When building new tools for personas

## Not In Active Rotation
- healthcheck — Security audits (on-demand)
- node-connect — Troubleshoot pairing (if needed)
- weather — Contextual (heartbeat rotation)

## Workflow: Non-Trivial Work Checklist

Before starting major work:

1. ✅ Read SOUL.md (refresh strategic context)
2. ✅ Load `~/self-improving/memory.md` (execution lessons)
3. ✅ Search knowledge base for relevant project docs
4. ✅ Check TOOLS.md for infrastructure details
5. ✅ Plan approach in MEMORY.md before execution
6. ✅ Execute with appropriate skill/tool
7. ✅ Document lessons (update self-improving or MEMORY.md)
