How the skills fit together

After this page you can place any of the sixty-four skills in one of ten functional areas, read an area diagram to see which skills it rests on and which rest on it, and tell a formal dependency from an optional one before declaring either in a repository.

What it is

The skill set has two groupings, and they answer different questions. A source concern is where a skill is kept: one of the eight folders in the harness skills/ shelf, which the catalogue follows. A functional area is what a skill is for, and the harness defines ten of them, each with a short purpose and, where an area is large, named groups within it. A skill has one home area and may serve a second: ki-authoring and ki-diagrams are fundamentals that the Records and code area also claims, and ki-repo-harness is a fundamental that Repository types also lists.

Area What its skills do
Fundamentals Hold what every repository and every skill builds on
Records and code Govern what a repository records, explains and builds
Coordination Hand work between agents, threads and repositories
Work and delivery Record work and move it from capture to acceptance
Repository types Shape one kind of repository each
Agentic systems Define agent roles and coordinate agents
Environment Bind, budget and clean the agent runtimes
Acquire Bring outside sources into a knowledge base
Signals Watch the field and keep its radars current
Design Shape how products look and feel

Every skill nested in its home area and group. Look for the shape of each node: it tells you whether the skill is always on, applies automatically, must be opted into, or is reached by command. No edges are drawn here; the area diagrams below carry them. Interactive

How it works

Each area diagram draws the same relationship the skills declare in their frontmatter. A solid edge is a formal dependency: selecting the skill at the top necessarily runs the skill at the bottom first. A dashed edge is an optional dependency, used only when the lower skill is active in the same scope and never making it mandatory. Edges always point downward from the skill that relies to the skill relied on. Skills outside the area that it relies on sit below its box, and skills outside the area that rely on it sit above, so the vertical position tells you which way the reliance runs before you read a label. The node shapes match the skill map.

The harness generates these pictures from the declarations rather than drawing them by hand, so an edge missing from a diagram is an edge missing from the skills. A repository that declares a skill declares its formal prerequisites too, and ki repo audit runs them in dependency order.

How you use it

Read the map to find the area a request belongs to, then read that area's diagram downward to learn what else the skill brings with it and upward to learn what would be affected by changing it. When Mara declares ki-repo-kb-principal for the Tern Holm knowledge base, the Repository types diagram shows her that ki-repo-kb and ki-decision-records come with it, and that the three knowledge-base overlays come with ki-repo-kb in turn. When she considers switching the island's writing conventions, the Fundamentals diagram shows ki-repo, ki-recap and ki-repo-dotfiles-chezmoi resting on ki-authoring, which is the measure of the change.

What it provides

Fundamentals

Fundamentals gathers ki-repo, ki-authoring, ki-diagrams and ki-git as the repository and writing group, ki-skills and ki-repo-harness as the skills and harness group, and ki-bootstrap on its own. These are the skills the rest of the set assumes.

Look for ki-authoring and ki-git at the base: ki-repo rests on both, and skills outside the area such as ki-recap, ki-repo-dotfiles-chezmoi and ki-agent-coordination-paperclip rest on one of them. ki-repo-harness is the one fundamental that reaches outside the area for its prerequisites. Interactive

Records and code

Records and code gathers ki-decision-records, ki-specs and ki-guides as the records group, ki-authoring and ki-diagrams as writing and figures, and ki-engineering for code. Together they govern what a repository says about itself and how it builds.

Look for the absence of edges inside the area: none of these six skills relies on another of them. Every edge arrives from above, where ki-repo-harness, ki-repo-kb-principal and ki-work-design rest on ki-decision-records and ki-repo-mcp rests on ki-engineering. ki-authoring and ki-diagrams appear as members; their own edges are drawn in Fundamentals, their home. Interactive

Coordination

Coordination gathers ki-delegation, ki-work-package, ki-coordination and ki-work-design as the delegation and programme group, and ki-trades with ki-trade as the trades group. It is how work passes between agents, threads and repositories.

Look for ki-delegation as the skill most relied on: ki-coordination rests on it and on ki-work-package, and the delivery skills ki-plan, ki-implement and ki-batch use it optionally from above. ki-trade rests on ki-trades, and ki-work-design optionally uses ki-decision-records below the area. Interactive

Work and delivery

Work and delivery gathers the work-item skills ki-work, ki-work-roadmap, ki-work-github-issues, ki-work-linear and ki-work-recurring, and the delivery cycle ki-next, ki-plan, ki-batch, ki-implement, ki-accept and ki-recap. Together they record work and move it from capture to acceptance.

Look for the dashed edges: the delivery skills rely on nothing formally except ki-recap on ki-authoring, and reach ki-delegation and ki-batch only optionally. From above, ki-repo-harness rests on ki-work-roadmap and ki-repo-kb-activities optionally uses ki-work-recurring. Interactive

Repository types

Repository types gathers the websites group ki-repo-website, ki-repo-website-content, ki-repo-website-app and ki-repo-website-cloudflare; the knowledge bases group ki-repo-kb, ki-repo-kb-streams, ki-repo-kb-activities, ki-repo-kb-live-artifacts and ki-repo-kb-principal; ki-repo-project for projects; and the single-type repositories ki-repo-specifications, ki-repo-mcp, ki-repo-harness, ki-repo-tools, ki-repo-homebrew-tap and ki-repo-dotfiles-chezmoi. Each shapes one kind of repository.

Look for the two fans: the three website implementations rest on ki-repo-website, and ki-repo-kb carries its three overlays with ki-repo-kb-principal above it. Below the area, ki-repo-mcp rests on ki-engineering, ki-repo-dotfiles-chezmoi on ki-authoring and ki-repo-kb-activities optionally on ki-work-recurring; above it, ki-binding-chezmoi rests on the dotfiles skill. Interactive

Agentic systems

Agentic systems gathers ki-subagents with its runtime projections ki-subagents-claude and ki-subagents-chatgpt, and ki-agent-coordination-paperclip. It defines agent roles and how several agents are coordinated.

Look for ki-subagents at the centre: both runtime projections rest on it and ki-repo-harness rests on it from above. ki-agent-coordination-paperclip stands apart, resting only on ki-git below the area. Interactive

Environment

Environment gathers the MCP binding group ki-binding, ki-binding-claude, ki-binding-chatgpt and ki-binding-chezmoi; the tokenomics group ki-tokenomics, ki-tokenomics-claude and ki-tokenomics-chatgpt; and the housekeeping pair ki-housekeeping-claude and ki-housekeeping-chatgpt. It binds, budgets and cleans the agent runtimes.

Look for the two portable roots: every binding adapter rests on ki-binding and every tokenomics adapter on ki-tokenomics. ki-binding-chezmoi alone also reaches below the area, to ki-repo-dotfiles-chezmoi. The housekeeping pair declares no dependency. Interactive

Acquire

Acquire gathers ki-acquire and its source adapters ki-acquire-chatgpt and ki-acquire-granola. It brings outside sources into a knowledge base by exception rather than wholesale.

Look for the single root: both adapters rest on ki-acquire and nothing rests on them. No skill outside the area appears, because none relies on acquisition or is relied on by it. Interactive

Signals

Signals gathers ki-pulse, ki-agentic-radar and ki-model-radar. It watches the field and keeps the two radars current without adopting anything automatically.

Look for three nodes and no edges: the signals skills declare no dependency and nothing depends on them, so each is reached on its own. Interactive

Design

Design gathers ki-design-system and ki-design-inspiration. It shapes how products look and feel.

Look for two nodes and no edges: the design skills stand alone, with website structure left to the repository types. Interactive

Boundaries

An area is a reading aid, not a declaration; a repository declares skills by name, never by area. The diagrams show declared dependencies only, so a standard that ki-repo detects from repository shape and audits alongside does not appear as an edge, and neither does a skill that merely points the reader to another. A skill that serves two areas is drawn with its edges in its home area's diagram and appears as a member without them in the second.
