Mend Subagents

Purpose

This skill ensures that all Subagents have accurate references to the available Agent Skills. It manages the binding between agents and skills, ensuring they remain consistent as the ecosystem grows or changes.

When to Use

After creating new Agent Skills.
After deleting or renaming skills.
When an agent seems to lack the capabilities it needs to perform its role.

Instructions

1. Index Available Skills

Scan the platform-specific skills/ directory and the root skills/ directory.
For each SKILL.md, extract the name and description from the YAML frontmatter.

2. Audit Subagents

Iterate through each agent definition (e.g., in .claude/agents/ or root agents/).
Parse the YAML frontmatter skills list and the ## Capabilities section.

3. Synchronize Bindings

Remove Dead Links: If an agent references a skill that no longer exists, remove it from the frontmatter and the Capabilities section.
Update Links: Ensure all links point to the correct relative path for the current platform.
- Claude Code: [skill-name](../skills/skill-name/SKILL.md)
- Cursor: [skill-name](../../skills/meta-agent-skills/skill-name/SKILL.md)
Capabilities Section: Use the  and  markers to synchronize the table of skills in the agent's body.

4. Suggestive Mending (AI Heuristic)

Compare the Agent's description with the descriptions of all available skills.
If a skill appears relevant but is not bound to the agent:
- Interactive: Suggest the binding to the user via AskQuestion.
- Proactive: If confidence is high, add the binding and report it.

5. Final Report

List all agents updated.
List all new bindings suggested or added.
Highlight any broken links that were removed.
