Phase 4: Optional Skills (devops, explainer) #622
Description
Summary
Create OPTIONAL-priority skills for agents scoring 4/5 but with moderate frequency. Create only if usage patterns justify.
Parent Epic
#611 (Agent-to-Skill Conversion)
Skills in Scope
| Agent | Score | Reason | Trigger Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| devops | 4/5 | Pipeline patterns, YAML validation | If pipeline generation >3x/week |
| explainer | 4/5 | PRD template, fixed sections | If PRD format enforcement needed |
Decision Criteria
Before implementing, evaluate:
- Frequency: Has agent invocation exceeded 3x/week threshold?
- Failure rate: Are protocol violations occurring without skill?
- Maintenance burden: Does skill reduce or increase overhead?
If all 3 indicate "proceed", create skill. Otherwise, defer.
Acceptance Criteria
- Evaluate devops frequency and failure patterns
- Evaluate explainer frequency and failure patterns
- Create skills only if criteria met
- If created, synthesis panel approval (3/3)
- If created, timelessness score ≥7
SkillCreator Invocations (If Needed)
SkillCreator: create a skill for GitHub Actions workflow generation
SkillCreator: create a skill for product requirements document generation
Definition of Done
- Decision documented for each agent (create vs defer)
- If created, skills in
.claude/skills/ - If deferred, rationale documented in analysis
