+# Betty Framework Agents
+
+## ⚙️ **Integration Note: Claude Code Plugin System**
+
+**Betty agents are Claude Code plugins.** You do not invoke agents via standalone CLI commands (`betty` or direct Python scripts). Instead:
+
+- **Claude Code serves as the execution environment** for all agent invocation
+- Each agent is registered through its `agent.yaml` manifest
+- Agents become automatically discoverable and executable through Claude Code's natural language interface
+- All routing, validation, and execution is handled by Claude Code via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
+
+**No separate installation step is needed** beyond plugin registration in your Claude Code environment.
+
+---
+
+This directory contains agent manifests for the Betty Framework.
+
+## What are Agents?
+
+Agents are intelligent orchestrators that compose skills with reasoning, context awareness, and error recovery. Unlike workflows (which follow fixed sequential steps) or skills (which execute atomic operations), agents can:
+
+- **Reason** about requirements and choose appropriate strategies
+- **Iterate** based on feedback and validation results
+- **Recover** from errors with intelligent retry logic
+- **Adapt** their approach based on context
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Each agent has its own directory containing:
+```
+agents/
+├── <agent-name>/
+│   ├── agent.yaml              # Agent manifest (required)
+│   ├── README.md               # Documentation (auto-generated)
+│   └── tests/                  # Agent behavior tests (optional)
+│       └── test_agent.py
+```
+
+## Creating an Agent
+
+### Using meta.agent (Recommended)
+
+**Via Claude Code:**
+```
+"Use meta.agent to create a my.agent that does [description],
+with capabilities [list], using skills [skill.one, skill.two],
+and iterative reasoning mode"
+```
+
+**Direct execution (development/testing):**
+```bash
+cat > /tmp/my_agent.md <<'EOF'
+# Name: my.agent
+# Purpose: What your agent does
+# Capabilities: First capability, Second capability
+# Skills: skill.one, skill.two
+# Reasoning: iterative
+EOF
+python agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py /tmp/my_agent.md
+```
+
+### Manual Creation
+
+1. Create agent directory:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p agents/my.agent
+   ```
+
+2. Create agent manifest (`agents/my.agent/agent.yaml`):
+   ```yaml
+   name: my.agent
+   version: 0.1.0
+   description: "What your agent does"
+
+   capabilities:
+     - First capability
+     - Second capability
+
+   skills_available:
+     - skill.one
+     - skill.two
+
+   reasoning_mode: iterative  # or oneshot
+
+   status: draft
+   ```
+
+3. Validate and register:
+
+   **Via Claude Code:**
+   ```
+   "Use agent.define to validate agents/my.agent/agent.yaml"
+   ```
+
+   **Direct execution (development/testing):**
+   ```bash
+   python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py agents/my.agent/agent.yaml
+   ```
+
+## Agent Manifest Schema
+
+### Required Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `name` | string | Unique identifier (e.g., `api.designer`) |
+| `version` | string | Semantic version (e.g., `0.1.0`) |
+| `description` | string | Human-readable purpose statement |
+| `capabilities` | array[string] | List of what the agent can do |
+| `skills_available` | array[string] | Skills the agent can orchestrate |
+| `reasoning_mode` | enum | `iterative` or `oneshot` |
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `status` | enum | `draft`, `active`, `deprecated`, `archived` |
+| `context_requirements` | object | Structured context the agent needs |
+| `workflow_pattern` | string | Narrative description of reasoning process |
+| `example_task` | string | Concrete usage example |
+| `error_handling` | object | Retry strategies and failure handling |
+| `output` | object | Expected success/failure outputs |
+| `tags` | array[string] | Categorization tags |
+| `dependencies` | array[string] | Other agents or schemas |
+
+## Reasoning Modes
+
+### Iterative
+Agent can retry with feedback, refine based on errors, and improve incrementally.
+
+**Use for:**
+- Validation loops (API design with validation feedback)
+- Refinement tasks (code optimization)
+- Error correction (fixing compilation errors)
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+reasoning_mode: iterative
+
+error_handling:
+  max_retries: 3
+  on_validation_failure: "Analyze errors, refine spec, retry"
+```
+
+### Oneshot
+Agent executes once without retry.
+
+**Use for:**
+- Analysis and reporting (compatibility checks)
+- Deterministic transformations (code generation)
+- Tasks where retry doesn't help (documentation)
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+
+output:
+  success:
+    - Analysis report
+  failure:
+    - Error details
+```
+
+## Example Agents
+
+See the documentation for example agent manifests:
+- [API Designer](../docs/agent-schema-reference.md#example-iterative-refinement-agent) - Iterative API design
+- [Compliance Checker](../docs/agent-schema-reference.md#example-multi-domain-agent) - Multi-domain compliance
+
+## Validation
+
+All agent manifests are automatically validated for:
+- Required fields presence
+- Name format (`^[a-z][a-z0-9._-]*$`)
+- Version format (semantic versioning)
+- Reasoning mode enum (`iterative` or `oneshot`)
+- Skill references (all skills must exist in skill registry)
+
+## Registry
+
+Validated agents are registered in `/registry/agents.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "registry_version": "1.0.0",

+# api.analyzer Agent
+
+## Purpose
+
+**api.analyzer** is a specialized agent that analyzes API specifications for backward compatibility and breaking changes between versions.
+
+This agent provides detailed compatibility reports, identifies breaking vs non-breaking changes, and suggests migration paths for consumers when breaking changes are unavoidable.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- **Reasoning Mode**: `oneshot` – The agent executes once without retries, as compatibility analysis is deterministic
+- **Capabilities**:
+  - Detect breaking changes between API versions
+  - Generate detailed compatibility reports
+  - Identify removed or modified endpoints
+  - Suggest migration paths for breaking changes
+  - Validate API evolution best practices
+
+## Skills Used
+
+The agent has access to the following skills:
+
+| Skill | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `api.compatibility` | Compares two API spec versions and detects breaking changes |
+| `api.validate` | Validates individual specs for well-formedness |
+
+## Workflow Pattern
+
+The agent follows this straightforward pattern:
+
+```
+1. Load old and new API specifications
+2. Run comprehensive compatibility analysis
+3. Categorize changes as breaking or non-breaking
+4. Generate detailed report with migration recommendations
+5. Return results (no retry needed)
+```
+
+## Manifest Fields (Quick Reference)
+
+```yaml
+name: api.analyzer
+version: 0.1.0
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+skills_available:
+  - api.compatibility
+  - api.validate
+status: draft
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+This agent is invoked through a command or workflow:
+
+### Via Slash Command
+
+```bash
+# Assuming /api-compatibility command is registered to use this agent
+/api-compatibility specs/user-service-v1.yaml specs/user-service-v2.yaml
+```
+
+### Via Workflow
+
+Include the agent in a workflow YAML:
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/check_api_compatibility.yaml
+steps:
+  - agent: api.analyzer
+    input:
+      old_spec_path: "specs/user-service-v1.0.0.yaml"
+      new_spec_path: "specs/user-service-v2.0.0.yaml"
+      fail_on_breaking: true
+```
+
+## Context Requirements
+
+The agent expects the following context:
+
+| Field | Type | Description | Example |
+|-------|------|-------------|---------|
+| `old_spec_path` | string | Path to the previous/old API specification | `"specs/api-v1.0.0.yaml"` |
+| `new_spec_path` | string | Path to the new/updated API specification | `"specs/api-v2.0.0.yaml"` |
+| `fail_on_breaking` | boolean | Whether to fail (exit non-zero) if breaking changes detected | `true` or `false` |
+
+## Example Task
+
+**Input**:
+```
+"Compare user-service v1.0.0 with v2.0.0 for breaking changes"
+```
+
+**Agent execution**:
+
+1. **Load both specifications**:
+   - Old: `specs/user-service-v1.0.0.openapi.yaml`
+   - New: `specs/user-service-v2.0.0.openapi.yaml`
+
+2. **Analyze endpoint changes**:
+   - ✅ **Added**: `GET /users/{id}/preferences` (non-breaking)
+   - ❌ **Removed**: `DELETE /users/{id}/avatar` (breaking)
+   - ⚠️ **Modified**: `POST /users` now requires additional field `email_verified` (breaking)
+
+3. **Check for breaking schema changes**:
+   - ❌ Removed property: `User.phoneNumber` (breaking)
+   - ✅ Added optional property: `User.preferences` (non-breaking)
+   - ❌ Changed property type: `User.age` from `integer` to `string` (breaking)
+
+4. **Identify parameter or response format changes**:
+   - ❌ Query parameter `filter` changed from optional to required in `GET /users` (breaking)
+   - ✅ Response includes new optional field `User.last_login` (non-breaking)
+
+5. **Generate compatibility report**:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "compatible": false,
+     "breaking_changes": [
+       {
+         "type": "endpoint_removed",
+         "endpoint": "DELETE /users/{id}/avatar",
+         "severity": "high",
+         "migration": "Use PUT /users/{id} with avatar=null instead"
+       },
+       {
+         "type": "required_field_added",
+         "location": "POST /users request body",
+         "field": "email_verified",
+         "severity": "high",
+         "migration": "Clients must now provide email_verified field"
+       },
+       {
+         "type": "property_removed",
+         "schema": "User",
+         "property": "phoneNumber",
+         "severity": "medium",
+         "migration": "Use new phone_contacts array instead"
+       },
+       {
+         "type": "type_changed",
+         "schema": "User",
+         "property": "age",
+         "old_type": "integer",
+         "new_type": "string",
+         "severity": "high",
+         "migration": "Convert age to string format"
+       }
+     ],
+     "non_breaking_changes": [
+       {
+         "type": "endpoint_added",
+         "endpoint": "GET /users/{id}/preferences"
+       },
+       {
+         "type": "optional_field_added",
+         "schema": "User",
+         "property": "preferences"
+       },
+       {
+         "type": "response_field_added",
+         "endpoint": "GET /users/{id}",
+         "field": "last_login"
+       }
+     ],
+     "change_summary": {
+       "breaking": 4,
+       "additions": 2,
+       "modifications": 2,
+       "removals": 2
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+6. **Provide migration recommendations**:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Migration Guide: v1.0.0 → v2.0.0
+
+   ### Breaking Changes
+
+   1. **Removed endpoint: DELETE /users/{id}/avatar**
+      - **Impact**: High - Clients using this endpoint will fail
+      - **Migration**: Use PUT /users/{id} with avatar=null instead
+      - **Effort**: Low
+
+   2. **New required field: email_verified in POST /users**
+      - **Impact**: High - All user creation requests must include this field
+      - **Migration**: Update client code to provide email_verified boolean
+      - **Effort**: Medium
+
+   3. **Property removed: User.phoneNumber**
+      - **Impact**: Medium - Clients reading this field will get undefined
+      - **Migration**: Use User.phone_contacts array instead
+      - **Effort**: Medium
+
+   4. **Type changed: User.age (integer → string)**
+      - **Impact**: High - Type mismatch will cause deserialization errors
+      - **Migration**: Update models to use string type and convert existing data
+      - **Effort**: High
+
+   ### Recommended Approach
+   1. Implement migration layer for 2 versions
+   2. Communicate breaking changes to consumers 30 days in advance
+   3. Provide backward-compatible endpoints during transition period
+   4. Monitor usage of deprecated endpoints
+   ```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Scenario | Timeout | Behavior |
+|----------|---------|----------|
+| Spec load failure | N/A | Return error with file path details |
+| Comparison failure | N/A | Return partial analysis with error context |
+| Timeout | 120 seconds | Fails after 2 minutes |
+
+### On Success
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "success",
+  "outputs": {
+    "compatibility_report": {
+      "compatible": false,
+      "breaking_changes": [...],
+      "non_breaking_changes": [...],
+      "change_summary": {...}
+    },
+    "migration_recommendations": "...",
+    "api_diff_visualization": "..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### On Failure
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "failed",
+  "error_details": {
+    "error": "Failed to load old spec",
+    "file_path": "specs/user-service-v1.0.0.yaml",
+    "details": "File not found"
+  },
+  "partial_analysis": null,
+  "suggested_fixes": [
+    "Verify file path exists",
+    "Check file permissions"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1. Pre-Release Validation
+
+Run before releasing a new API version to ensure backward compatibility:
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/validate_release.yaml
+steps:
+  - agent: api.analyzer
+    input:
+      old_spec_path: "specs/production/api-v1.yaml"
+      new_spec_path: "specs/staging/api-v2.yaml"
+      fail_on_breaking: true
+```
+
+### 2. Continuous Integration
+
+Integrate into CI/CD to prevent accidental breaking changes:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/api-check.yml
+- name: Check API Compatibility
+  run: |
+    # Agent runs via workflow.compose
+    python skills/workflow.compose/workflow_compose.py \
+      workflows/check_api_compatibility.yaml
+```
+
+### 3. Documentation Generation
+
+Generate migration guides automatically:
+
+```bash
+# Use agent output to create migration documentation
+/api-compatibility old.yaml new.yaml > migration-guide.md
+```

+# api.designer Agent
+
+## Purpose
+
+**api.designer** is an intelligent agent that orchestrates the API design process from natural language requirements to validated, production-ready OpenAPI specifications with generated models.
+
+This agent uses iterative refinement to create APIs that comply with enterprise guidelines (Zalando by default), automatically fixing validation errors and ensuring best practices.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- **Reasoning Mode**: `iterative` – The agent retries on validation failures, refining the spec until it passes all checks
+- **Capabilities**:
+  - Design RESTful APIs from natural language requirements
+  - Apply Zalando guidelines automatically (or other guideline sets)
+  - Generate OpenAPI 3.1 specs with best practices
+  - Iteratively refine based on validation feedback
+  - Handle AsyncAPI for event-driven architectures
+
+## Skills Used
+
+The agent has access to the following skills and uses them in sequence:
+
+| Skill | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `api.define` | Scaffolds initial OpenAPI spec from service name and requirements |
+| `api.validate` | Validates spec against enterprise guidelines (Zalando, Google, Microsoft) |
+| `api.generate-models` | Generates type-safe models in target languages (TypeScript, Python, etc.) |
+| `api.compatibility` | Checks for breaking changes when updating existing APIs |
+
+## Workflow Pattern
+
+The agent follows this iterative pattern:
+
+```
+1. Analyze requirements and domain context
+2. Draft OpenAPI spec following guidelines
+3. Run validation (api.validate)
+4. If validation fails:
+   - Analyze errors
+   - Refine spec
+   - Re-validate
+   - Repeat until passing (max 3 retries)
+5. Generate models for target languages
+6. Verify generated models compile
+```
+
+## Manifest Fields (Quick Reference)
+
+```yaml
+name: api.designer
+version: 0.1.0
+reasoning_mode: iterative
+skills_available:
+  - api.define
+  - api.validate
+  - api.generate-models
+  - api.compatibility
+status: draft
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+This agent is invoked through a command or workflow:
+
+### Via Slash Command
+
+```bash
+# Assuming /api-design command is registered to use this agent
+/api-design user-service
+```
+
+The command passes the service name to the agent, which then:
+1. Uses `api.define` to create initial spec
+2. Validates with `api.validate`
+3. Fixes any validation errors iteratively
+4. Generates models with `api.generate-models`
+
+### Via Workflow
+
+Include the agent in a workflow YAML:
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/design_api.yaml
+steps:
+  - agent: api.designer
+    input:
+      service_name: "user-service"
+      guidelines: "zalando"
+      languages: ["typescript", "python"]
+```
+
+## Context Requirements
+
+The agent expects the following context:
+
+| Field | Type | Description | Example |
+|-------|------|-------------|---------|
+| `guidelines` | string | Which API guidelines to follow | `"zalando"`, `"google"`, `"microsoft"` |
+| `domain` | string | Business domain for API design | `"user-management"`, `"e-commerce"` |
+| `existing_apis` | list | Related APIs to maintain consistency with | `["auth-service", "notification-service"]` |
+| `strict_mode` | boolean | Whether to treat warnings as errors | `true` or `false` |
+
+## Example Task
+
+**Input**:
+```
+"Create API for user management with CRUD operations,
+ authentication via JWT, and email verification workflow"
+```
+
+**Agent execution**:
+
+1. **Draft OpenAPI spec** with proper resource paths:
+   - `POST /users` - Create user
+   - `GET /users/{id}` - Get user
+   - `PUT /users/{id}` - Update user
+   - `DELETE /users/{id}` - Delete user
+   - `POST /users/{id}/verify-email` - Email verification
+
+2. **Apply Zalando guidelines**:
+   - Use snake_case for property names
+   - Include problem JSON error responses
+   - Add required headers (X-Request-ID, etc.)
+   - Define proper HTTP status codes
+
+3. **Validate spec** using `api.validate`:
+   ```bash
+   python skills/api.validate/api_validate.py specs/user-service.yaml zalando
+   ```
+
+4. **Fix validation issues** (if any):
+   - Missing required headers → Add to spec
+   - Incorrect naming → Convert to snake_case
+   - Missing error schemas → Add problem JSON schemas
+
+5. **Generate models** using Modelina:
+   ```bash
+   python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+     specs/user-service.yaml typescript src/models/typescript
+   python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+     specs/user-service.yaml python src/models/python
+   ```
+
+6. **Verify models compile**:
+   - TypeScript: `tsc --noEmit`
+   - Python: `mypy --strict`
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Scenario | Max Retries | Behavior |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| Validation failure | 3 | Analyze errors, refine spec, retry |
+| Model generation failure | 3 | Try alternative Modelina configurations |
+| Compilation failure | 3 | Adjust spec to fix type issues |
+| Timeout | N/A | Fails after 300 seconds (5 minutes) |
+
+### On Success
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "success",
+  "outputs": {
+    "spec_path": "specs/user-service.openapi.yaml",
+    "validation_report": {
+      "valid": true,

+    },
+    "dependency_graph": "..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### On Failure
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "failed",
+  "error_analysis": {
+    "step": "validation",
+    "attempts": 3,
+    "last_error": "Missing required header: X-Request-ID in all endpoints"

+  "suggested_fixes": [
+    "Add X-Request-ID header to all operations",
+    "See Zalando guidelines: https://..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+

+# meta.agent - Agent Creator
+
+The meta-agent that creates other agents through skill composition.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.agent** transforms natural language descriptions into complete, functional agents with proper skill composition, artifact metadata, and documentation.
+
+**What it produces:**
+- Complete `agent.yaml` with recommended skills
+- Auto-generated `README.md` documentation
+- Proper artifact metadata (produces/consumes)
+- Inferred permissions from skills
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create an Agent Description
+
+Create a Markdown file describing your agent:
+
+```markdown
+# Name: api.architect
+
+# Purpose:
+An agent that designs comprehensive REST APIs and validates them
+against best practices.
+
+# Inputs:
+- API requirements
+
+# Outputs:
+- openapi-spec
+- validation-report
+- api-models
+
+# Examples:
+- Design a RESTful API for an e-commerce platform
+- Create an API for a task management system
+```
+
+### 2. Run meta.agent
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py examples/api_architect_description.md
+```
+
+### 3. Output
+
+```
+✨ Agent 'api.architect' created successfully!
+
+📄 Agent definition: agents/api.architect/agent.yaml
+📖 Documentation: agents/api.architect/README.md
+
+🔧 Skills: api.define, api.validate, workflow.validate
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Creation
+
+```bash
+# Create agent from Markdown description
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py path/to/agent_description.md
+
+# Create agent from JSON description
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py path/to/agent_description.json
+
+# Specify output directory
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py description.md -o agents/my-agent
+
+# Skip validation
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py description.md --no-validate
+```
+
+### Description Format
+
+**Markdown Format:**
+
+```markdown
+# Name: agent-name
+
+# Purpose:
+Detailed description of what the agent does...
+
+# Inputs:
+- artifact-type-1
+- artifact-type-2
+
+# Outputs:
+- artifact-type-3
+- artifact-type-4
+
+# Constraints:
+(Optional) Any constraints or requirements...
+
+# Examples:
+- Example use case 1
+- Example use case 2
+```
+
+**JSON Format:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "agent-name",
+  "purpose": "Detailed description...",
+  "inputs": ["artifact-type-1", "artifact-type-2"],
+  "outputs": ["artifact-type-3", "artifact-type-4"],
+  "examples": ["Example 1", "Example 2"]
+}
+```
+
+## What meta.agent Creates
+
+### 1. agent.yaml
+
+Complete agent definition with:
+- **Recommended skills** - Uses `agent.compose` to find compatible skills
+- **Artifact metadata** - Proper produces/consumes declarations
+- **Permissions** - Inferred from selected skills
+- **Description** - Professional formatting
+
+Example output:
+```yaml
+name: api.architect
+description: Designs and validates REST APIs against best practices
+skills_available:
+  - api.define
+  - api.validate
+permissions:
+  - filesystem:read
+  - filesystem:write
+artifact_metadata:
+  consumes:
+    - type: api-requirements
+  produces:
+    - type: openapi-spec
+      schema: schemas/openapi-spec.json
+    - type: validation-report
+      schema: schemas/validation-report.json
+```
+
+### 2. README.md
+
+Auto-generated documentation with:
+- Agent purpose and capabilities
+- Skills used with rationale
+- Artifact flow (inputs/outputs)
+- Example use cases
+- Usage instructions
+- "Created by meta.agent" attribution
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Parse Description** - Reads Markdown or JSON
+2. **Find Skills** - Uses `agent.compose` to recommend compatible skills
+3. **Generate Metadata** - Uses `artifact.define` for artifact contracts
+4. **Infer Permissions** - Analyzes required skills
+5. **Create Files** - Generates agent.yaml and README.md
+6. **Validate** - Ensures proper structure and compatibility
+
+## Integration with Other Meta-Agents
+
+### With meta.compatibility
+
+After creating an agent, use `meta.compatibility` to analyze it:
+
+```bash
+# Create agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py description.md
+
+# Analyze compatibility
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze api.architect
+```
+
+### With meta.suggest
+
+Get suggestions after creating an agent:
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --artifacts agents/api.architect/agent.yaml
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Create and Analyze
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Create agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py examples/my_agent.md
+
+# Step 2: Analyze compatibility
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible my-agent
+
+# Step 3: Test the agent
+# (Manual testing or agent.run)
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Create Multiple Agents
+
+```bash
+# Create several agents
+for desc in examples/*_agent_description.md; do
+    python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py "$desc"
+done
+
+# Analyze the ecosystem
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all
+```
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+### Consumes
+
+- **agent-description** - Natural language agent requirements
+  - Format: Markdown or JSON
+  - Pattern: `**/agent_description.md`
+
+### Produces
+
+- **agent-definition** - Complete agent.yaml
+  - Format: YAML
+  - Pattern: `agents/*/agent.yaml`
+  - Schema: `schemas/agent-definition.json`
+
+- **agent-documentation** - Auto-generated README
+  - Format: Markdown
+  - Pattern: `agents/*/README.md`
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Writing Good Descriptions
+
+✅ **Good:**
+- Clear, specific purpose
+- Well-defined inputs and outputs
+- Concrete examples
+- Specific artifact types
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+- Vague purpose ("does stuff")
+- Generic inputs ("data")
+- No examples
+- Unclear artifact types
+
+### Choosing Artifact Types
+
+Use existing artifact types when possible:
+- `openapi-spec` for API specifications
+- `validation-report` for validation results
+- `workflow-definition` for workflows
+
+If you need a new type, create it with `meta.artifact` first.
+
+### Skill Selection
+
+meta.agent uses keyword matching to find skills:
+- "api" → finds api.define, api.validate
+- "validate" → finds validation skills
+- "agent" → finds agent.compose, meta.agent
+
+Be descriptive in your purpose statement to get better skill recommendations.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent name conflicts
+
+```
+Error: Agent 'api.architect' already exists
+```
+
+**Solution:** Choose a different name or remove the existing agent directory.
+
+### No skills recommended
+
+```
+Warning: No skills found for agent purpose
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Make purpose more specific
+- Mention artifact types explicitly
+- Check if relevant skills exist in registry
+
+### Missing artifact types
+
+```
+Warning: Artifact type 'my-artifact' not in known registry
+```
+
+**Solution:** Create the artifact type with `meta.artifact` first:
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create artifact_description.md
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+See `examples/` directory for sample agent descriptions:
+- `api_architect_description.md` - API design and validation agent
+- (Add more as you create them)
+
+## Architecture
+
+meta.agent is part of the meta-agent ecosystem:
+
+```
+meta.agent
+    ├─ Uses: agent.compose (find skills)
+    ├─ Uses: artifact.define (generate metadata)
+    ├─ Produces: agent.yaml + README.md
+    └─ Works with: meta.compatibility, meta.suggest
+```

+     - Consider permission requirements
+
+  3. **Generate Metadata** - Use artifact.define for proper artifact contracts
+     - Define what artifacts the agent consumes
+     - Define what artifacts the agent produces
+     - Include schemas and file patterns
+
+  4. **Create Agent Definition** - Write agent.yaml
+     - Name, description, skills_available
+     - Artifact metadata (consumes/produces)
+     - Permissions
+     - System prompt (optional but recommended)
+
+  5. **Document** - Generate comprehensive README.md
+     - Agent purpose and use cases
+     - Required inputs and expected outputs
+     - Example usage
+     - Artifact flow diagram
+
+  6. **Validate** (optional) - Use registry.certify
+     - Check agent definition is valid
+     - Verify skill compatibility
+     - Ensure artifact contracts are sound
+
+  ## Principles
+
+  - **Artifact-First Design**: Ensure clean artifact flows with no gaps
+  - **Minimal Skill Sets**: Only include skills the agent actually needs
+  - **Clear Documentation**: Make the agent's purpose immediately obvious
+  - **Convention Adherence**: Follow Betty Framework standards
+  - **Composability**: Design agents that work well with other agents
+
+  When creating an agent, think like an architect: What does it consume? What does it
+  produce? What skills enable that transformation? How do artifacts flow through the system?

+# meta.artifact - The Artifact Standards Authority
+
+THE single source of truth for all artifact type definitions in Betty Framework.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.artifact** manages the complete lifecycle of artifact types - from definition to documentation to registration. All artifact types MUST be created through meta.artifact. No ad-hoc definitions are permitted.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Defines new artifact types from descriptions
+- Generates JSON schemas with validation rules
+- Updates ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md automatically
+- Registers types in KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES
+- Validates uniqueness and prevents conflicts
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create Artifact Description
+
+```markdown
+# Name: optimization-report
+
+# Purpose:
+Performance and security optimization recommendations for APIs
+
+# Format: JSON
+
+# File Pattern: *.optimization.json
+
+# Schema Properties:
+- optimizations (array): List of optimization recommendations
+- severity (string): Severity level
+- analyzed_artifact (string): Reference to analyzed artifact
+
+# Required Fields:
+- optimizations
+- severity
+- analyzed_artifact
+
+# Producers:
+- api.optimize
+
+# Consumers:
+- api.implement
+- report.generate
+```
+
+### 2. Create Artifact Type
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create examples/optimization_report_artifact.md
+```
+
+### 3. Output
+
+```
+✨ Artifact type 'optimization-report' created successfully!
+
+📄 Created files:
+   - schemas/optimization-report.json
+
+📝 Updated files:
+   - docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+   - skills/artifact.define/artifact_define.py
+
+✅ Artifact type 'optimization-report' is now registered
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create New Artifact Type
+
+```bash
+# From Markdown description
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create artifact_description.md
+
+# From JSON description
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create artifact_description.json
+
+# Force overwrite if exists
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create artifact_description.md --force
+```
+
+### Check if Artifact Exists
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py check optimization-report
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+✅ Artifact type 'optimization-report' exists
+   Location: docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+```
+
+## What meta.artifact Creates
+
+### 1. JSON Schema (schemas/*.json)
+
+Complete JSON Schema Draft 07 schema with:
+- Properties from description
+- Required fields
+- Type validation
+- Descriptions
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "title": "Optimization Report",
+  "description": "Performance and security recommendations...",
+  "type": "object",
+  "required": ["optimizations", "severity", "analyzed_artifact"],
+  "properties": {
+    "optimizations": {
+      "type": "array",
+      "description": "List of optimization recommendations"
+    },
+    ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Documentation Section (docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md)
+
+Adds complete section with:
+- Artifact number and title
+- Description
+- Convention (file pattern, format, content type)
+- Schema reference
+- Producers and consumers
+- Related types
+
+### 3. Registry Entry (skills/artifact.define/artifact_define.py)
+
+Adds to KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES:
+```python
+"optimization-report": {
+    "schema": "schemas/optimization-report.json",
+    "file_pattern": "*.optimization.json",
+    "content_type": "application/json",
+    "description": "Performance and security optimization recommendations..."
+}
+```
+
+## Description Format
+
+### Markdown Format
+
+```markdown
+# Name: artifact-type-name
+
+# Purpose:
+Detailed description of what this artifact represents...
+
+# Format: JSON | YAML | Markdown | Python | etc.
+
+# File Pattern: *.artifact-type.ext
+
+# Content Type: application/json (optional, inferred from format)
+
+# Schema Properties:
+- property_name (type): Description
+- another_property (array): Description
+
+# Required Fields:
+- property_name
+- another_property
+
+# Producers:
+- skill.that.produces
+- agent.that.produces
+
+# Consumers:
+- skill.that.consumes
+- agent.that.consumes
+
+# Related Types:
+- related-artifact-1
+- related-artifact-2
+
+# Validation Rules:
+- Custom rule 1
+- Custom rule 2
+```
+
+### JSON Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "artifact-type-name",
+  "purpose": "Description...",
+  "format": "JSON",
+  "file_pattern": "*.artifact-type.json",
+  "schema_properties": {
+    "field1": {"type": "string", "description": "..."},
+    "field2": {"type": "array", "description": "..."}
+  },
+  "required_fields": ["field1"],
+  "producers": ["producer.skill"],
+  "consumers": ["consumer.skill"]
+}
+```
+
+## Governance Rules
+
+meta.artifact enforces these rules:
+
+1. **Uniqueness** - Each artifact type must have a unique name
+2. **Clarity** - Names must be descriptive (e.g., "openapi-spec" not "spec")
+3. **Consistency** - Must use kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens)
+4. **Documentation** - Every type must be fully documented
+5. **Schemas** - Every type should have a JSON schema (if applicable)
+6. **No Conflicts** - Checks for naming conflicts before creating
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+Developer creates artifact_description.md
+    ↓
+meta.artifact validates name and format
+    ↓
+Checks if type already exists
+    ↓
+Generates JSON Schema
+    ↓
+Updates ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+    ↓
+Adds to KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES
+    ↓
+Validates all files
+    ↓
+Type is now registered and usable
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### With meta.agent
+
+When meta.agent needs a new artifact type:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Define the artifact type
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create my_artifact.md
+
+# 2. Create agent that uses it
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py agent_description.md
+```
+
+### With meta.suggest
+
+meta.suggest will recommend creating artifact types for gaps:
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --analyze-project
+```
+
+Output includes:
+```
+💡 Suggestions:
+   1. Create agent/skill to produce 'missing-artifact'
+```
+
+## Existing Artifact Types
+
+Check `docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md` for all registered types:
+
+- `openapi-spec` - OpenAPI specifications
+- `validation-report` - Validation results
+- `workflow-definition` - Betty workflows
+- `hook-config` - Claude Code hooks
+- `api-models` - Generated data models
+- `agent-description` - Agent requirements
+- `agent-definition` - Agent configurations
+- `agent-documentation` - Agent READMEs
+- `optimization-report` - Optimization recommendations
+- `compatibility-graph` - Agent relationships
+- `pipeline-suggestion` - Multi-agent workflows
+- `suggestion-report` - Next-step recommendations
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Naming Artifact Types
+
+✅ **Good:**
+- `validation-report` (clear, descriptive)
+- `openapi-spec` (standard term)
+- `optimization-report` (action + result)
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+- `report` (too generic)
+- `validationReport` (should be kebab-case)
+- `val-rep` (abbreviations)
+
+### Writing Descriptions
+
+Be comprehensive:
+- Explain what the artifact represents
+- Include all important properties
+- Document producers and consumers
+- Add related types for discoverability
+
+### Schema Properties
+
+Be specific about types:
+- Use JSON Schema types: string, number, integer, boolean, array, object
+- Add descriptions for every property
+- Mark required fields
+- Consider validation rules
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Name already exists
+
+```
+Error: Artifact type 'my-artifact' already exists at: docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Use `--force` to overwrite (careful!)
+2. Choose a different name
+3. Use the existing type if appropriate
+
+### Invalid name format
+
+```
+Error: Artifact name must be kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens): MyArtifact
+```
+
+**Solution:** Use lowercase with hyphens: `my-artifact`
+
+### Missing schema properties
+
+If your artifact is JSON/YAML but has no schema properties, meta.artifact will still create a basic schema. Add properties for better validation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+meta.artifact is THE authority in the meta-agent ecosystem:
+
+```
+meta.artifact (Authority)
+    ├─ Manages: All artifact type definitions
+    ├─ Updates: ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+    ├─ Registers: KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES
+    ├─ Used by: meta.agent, meta.skill, all agents
+    └─ Governance: Single source of truth
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+See `examples/` for artifact descriptions:
+- `optimization_report_artifact.md`
+- `compatibility_graph_artifact.md`
+- `pipeline_suggestion_artifact.md`
+- `suggestion_report_artifact.md`
+
+## Related Documentation
+
+- [ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md](../../docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md) - Complete artifact documentation
+- [artifact-type-description schema](../../schemas/artifact-type-description.json)
+- [META_AGENTS.md](../../docs/META_AGENTS.md) - Meta-agent ecosystem
+
+## Philosophy
+
+**Single Source of Truth** - All artifact definitions flow through meta.artifact. This ensures:
+- Consistency across the framework
+- Proper documentation
+- Schema validation
+- No conflicts
+- Discoverability
+
+When in doubt, ask meta.artifact.

+  You are meta.artifact, the artifact standards authority for Betty Framework.
+
+  You are THE single source of truth for artifact type definitions. All artifact
+  types flow through you - no exceptions.
+
+  ## Your Responsibilities
+
+  1. **Define New Artifact Types**
+     - Parse artifact type descriptions
+     - Validate uniqueness (check if type already exists)
+     - Create JSON schemas with proper validation rules
+     - Generate comprehensive documentation
+     - Register in KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES
+
+  2. **Maintain Standards Documentation**
+     - Update docs/ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md with new types
+     - Include file patterns, schemas, producers, consumers
+     - Provide clear examples
+     - Keep Quick Reference table up to date
+
+  3. **Validate Compatibility**
+     - Check if artifact types can work together
+     - Verify producer/consumer contracts
+     - Ensure no naming conflicts
+     - Validate schema consistency
+
+  4. **Registry Management**
+     - Update skills/artifact.define/artifact_define.py
+     - Add to KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES dictionary
+     - Include all metadata (schema, file_pattern, content_type, description)
+
+  ## Workflow for New Artifact Type
+
+  1. **Check Existence**
+     - Search ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md for similar types
+     - Check KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES registry
+     - Suggest existing type if appropriate
+
+  2. **Generate JSON Schema**
+     - Create schemas/{type-name}.json
+     - Include proper validation rules
+     - Use JSON Schema Draft 07
+     - Add description, examples, required fields
+
+  3. **Update Documentation**
+     - Add new section to ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md
+     - Follow existing format (Description, Convention, Schema, Producers, Consumers)
+     - Update Quick Reference table
+
+  4. **Update Registry**
+     - Add entry to KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES in artifact_define.py
+     - Include: schema, file_pattern, content_type, description
+
+  5. **Validate**
+     - Ensure all files are properly formatted
+     - Check for syntax errors
+     - Validate schema is valid JSON Schema
+
+  ## Governance Rules
+
+  - **Uniqueness**: Each artifact type must have a unique name
+  - **Clarity**: Names should be descriptive (e.g., "openapi-spec" not "spec")
+  - **Consistency**: Follow kebab-case naming (lowercase with hyphens)
+  - **Documentation**: Every type must be fully documented
+  - **Schemas**: Every type should have a JSON schema (if applicable)
+  - **No Conflicts**: Check for naming conflicts before creating
+
+  ## Example Workflow
+
+  User provides artifact_type_description.md:
+  ```
+  # Name: optimization-report
+  # Purpose: API optimization recommendations
+  # Format: JSON
+  # Producers: api.optimize
+  # Consumers: api.implement
+  ```
+
+  You:
+  1. Check if "optimization-report" exists → it doesn't
+  2. Generate schemas/optimization-report.json
+  3. Update ARTIFACT_STANDARDS.md with new section
+  4. Add to KNOWN_ARTIFACT_TYPES
+  5. Return summary of changes
+
+  Remember: You are the guardian of artifact standards. Be thorough, be consistent,
+  be the single source of truth.

+# meta.command - Command Creator Meta-Agent
+
+Creates complete, production-ready command manifests from natural language descriptions.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `meta.command` meta-agent transforms command descriptions into properly structured YAML manifests that can be registered in the Betty Framework Command Registry. It handles all the details of command creation including parameter validation, execution configuration, and documentation.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- ✅ Parses natural language command descriptions (Markdown or JSON)
+- ✅ Generates complete command manifests in YAML format
+- ✅ Validates command structure and execution types
+- ✅ Supports all three execution types: agent, skill, workflow
+- ✅ Creates proper parameter definitions with type validation
+- ✅ Prepares commands for registration via `command.define` skill
+- ✅ Supports traceability tracking
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.command/meta_command.py <description_file>
+```
+
+### With Traceability
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.command/meta_command.py examples/api_validate_command.md \
+  --requirement-id "REQ-2025-042" \
+  --requirement-description "Create command for API validation" \
+  --rationale "Simplify API validation workflow for developers"
+```
+
+## Input Format
+
+### Markdown Format
+
+Create a description file with the following structure:
+
+```markdown
+# Name: /api-validate
+# Version: 0.1.0
+# Description: Validate API specifications against standards
+
+# Execution Type: skill
+# Target: api.validate
+
+# Parameters:
+- spec_file: string (required) - Path to API specification file
+- format: enum (optional, default=openapi, values=[openapi,asyncapi,grpc]) - API specification format
+- strict: boolean (optional, default=true) - Enable strict validation mode
+
+# Execution Context:
+- format: json
+- timeout: 300
+
+# Status: active
+
+# Tags: api, validation, quality
+```
+
+### JSON Format
+
+Alternatively, use JSON:
+
+```json

+## Output
+
+The meta-agent creates:
+
+1. **Command Manifest** - Complete YAML file in `commands/` directory
+2. **Console Output** - Summary of created command
+3. **Next Steps** - Instructions for registration
+
+Example console output:
+
+```
+🎯  meta.command - Creating command from examples/api-validate-cmd.md
+
+✨ Command '/api-validate' created successfully!
+
+📄 Created file:
+   - commands/api-validate.yaml
+
+✅ Command manifest is ready for registration
+   Name: /api-validate
+   Execution: skill → api.validate
+   Status: active
+
+📝 Next steps:
+   1. Review the manifest: cat commands/api-validate.yaml
+   2. Register command: python3 skills/command.define/command_define.py commands/api-validate.yaml
+   3. Verify in registry: cat registry/commands.json
+```
+
+## Integration with command.define
+
+After creating a command manifest, register it using the `command.define` skill:
+
+```bash
+# Register the command
+python3 skills/command.define/command_define.py commands/api-validate.yaml
+
+# Verify registration
+cat registry/commands.json
+```
+
+The `command.define` skill will:
+- Validate the manifest structure
+- Check that the execution target exists
+- Add the command to the Command Registry
+- Make the command available for use
+

+
+## Command Naming Conventions
+
+- ✅ Must start with `/` (e.g., `/api-validate`)
+- ✅ Use kebab-case for multi-word commands (e.g., `/api-validate-all`)
+- ✅ Be concise but descriptive
+- ✅ Avoid generic names like `/run` or `/execute`
+- ✅ Use domain prefix for related commands (e.g., `/api-*`, `/db-*`)
+
+## Validation
+
+The meta-agent validates:
+
+- ✅ Required fields present (name, description, execution_type, target)
+- ✅ Valid execution type (agent, skill, workflow)
+- ✅ Command name starts with `/`
+- ✅ Parameter types are valid
+- ✅ Enum parameters have values defined
+- ✅ Version follows semantic versioning
+- ✅ Status is valid (draft, active, deprecated, archived)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Common errors and solutions:
+
+**Missing required fields:**
+```
+❌ Error: Missing required fields: execution_type, target
+```
+→ Add all required fields to your description
+
+**Invalid execution type:**
+```
+❌ Error: Invalid execution type: service. Must be one of: agent, skill, workflow
+```
+→ Use only valid execution types
+
+**Invalid parameter type:**
+```
+❌ Error: Invalid parameter type: float
+```
+→ Use supported parameter types
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Clear Descriptions** - Write concise, actionable command descriptions
+2. **Proper Parameters** - Define all parameters with types and validation
+3. **Appropriate Execution Type** - Choose the right execution model (agent/skill/workflow)
+4. **Meaningful Tags** - Add relevant tags for discoverability
+5. **Version Management** - Start with 0.1.0, increment appropriately
+6. **Status Lifecycle** - Use draft → active → deprecated → archived
+
+## Files Generated
+
+```
+commands/
+└── {command-name}.yaml    # Command manifest
+```
+
+## Integration with Meta-Agents
+
+The `meta.command` agent works alongside:
+
+- **meta.skill** - Create skills that commands can execute
+- **meta.agent** - Create agents that commands can delegate to
+- **meta.artifact** - Define artifact types for command I/O
+- **meta.compatibility** - Find compatible agents for command workflows
+
+## Traceability
+
+Track command creation with requirement metadata:
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.command/meta_command.py examples/api-validate-cmd.md \
+  --requirement-id "REQ-2025-042" \
+  --requirement-description "API validation command" \
+  --issue-id "BETTY-123" \
+  --requested-by "dev-team" \
+  --rationale "Streamline API validation process"
+```
+
+View trace:
+```bash
+python3 betty/trace_cli.py show command.api_validate
+```

+description: |
+  Creates complete command manifests from natural language descriptions.
+
+  This meta-agent transforms command descriptions into production-ready command
+  manifests that can be registered in the Betty Framework Command Registry.
+
+  Command manifests can delegate to:
+  - Agents: For intelligent, context-aware operations
+  - Skills: For direct, atomic operations
+  - Workflows: For orchestrated multi-step processes
+
+  The meta.command agent generates properly structured YAML manifests with:
+  - Command name and metadata
+  - Parameter definitions with types and validation
+  - Execution configuration (agent/skill/workflow)
+  - Documentation and examples
+
+  After creation, commands can be registered using the command.define skill.
+

+
+system_prompt: |
+  You are meta.command, the command creator for Betty Framework.
+
+  Your purpose is to transform natural language command descriptions into complete,
+  production-ready command manifests that follow Betty conventions.
+
+  ## Automatic Pattern Detection
+
+  You automatically analyze command descriptions to determine the best pattern:
+  - COMMAND_ONLY: Simple 1-3 step orchestration
+  - SKILL_AND_COMMAND: Complex 10+ step tasks requiring a skill backend
+  - SKILL_ONLY: Reusable building blocks without user-facing command
+  - HYBRID: Commands that orchestrate multiple existing skills
+
+  Analysis factors:
+  - Step count (from numbered/bulleted lists)
+  - Complexity keywords (analyze, optimize, evaluate, complex, etc.)
+  - Autonomy requirements (intelligent, adaptive, sophisticated, etc.)
+  - Reusability indicators (composable, shared, library, etc.)
+
+  When you detect high complexity or autonomy needs, you recommend creating
+  the skill first before the command wrapper.
+
+  ## Your Workflow
+
+  1. **Parse Description** - Understand command requirements
+     - Extract command name, purpose, and target audience
+     - Identify required parameters and their types
+     - Determine execution type (agent, skill, or workflow)
+     - Understand execution context needs
+
+  2. **Generate Command Manifest** - Create complete YAML definition
+     - Proper naming (must start with /)
+     - Complete parameter specifications with types, validation, defaults
+     - Execution configuration pointing to correct target
+     - Version and status information
+     - Appropriate tags
+
+  3. **Validate Structure** - Ensure manifest completeness
+     - All required fields present
+     - Valid execution type
+     - Proper parameter type definitions
+     - Target exists (agent/skill/workflow)
+
+  4. **Generate Documentation** - Create usage guide
+     - Command purpose and use cases
+     - Parameter descriptions with examples
+     - Expected outputs
+     - Integration examples
+
+  5. **Ready for Registration** - Prepare for command.define
+     - Validate against schema
+     - Check for naming conflicts
+     - Ensure target availability
+
+  ## Command Execution Types
+
+  **agent** - Delegates to an intelligent agent
+  - Use for: Complex, context-aware tasks requiring reasoning
+  - Example: `/api-design` → `api.architect` agent
+  - Benefits: Full agent capabilities, multi-step reasoning
+  - Target format: `agent_name` (e.g., "api.architect")
+
+  **skill** - Calls a skill directly
+  - Use for: Atomic, deterministic operations
+  - Example: `/api-validate` → `api.validate` skill
+  - Benefits: Fast, predictable, composable
+  - Target format: `skill.name` (e.g., "api.validate")
+
+  **workflow** - Executes a workflow
+  - Use for: Orchestrated multi-step processes
+  - Example: `/api-pipeline` → workflow YAML
+  - Benefits: Coordinated agent/skill execution
+  - Target format: Path to workflow file
+
+  ## Parameter Types
+
+  Supported parameter types:
+  - `string` - Text values
+  - `integer` - Whole numbers
+  - `boolean` - true/false
+  - `enum` - Fixed set of allowed values
+  - `array` - Lists of values
+  - `object` - Structured data
+
+  Each parameter can have:
+  - `name` - Parameter identifier
+  - `type` - Data type
+  - `required` - Whether mandatory (true/false)
+  - `default` - Default value if not provided
+  - `description` - What the parameter does
+  - `values` - Allowed values (for enum type)
+
+  ## Command Naming Conventions
+
+  - Must start with `/` (e.g., `/api-validate`)
+  - Use kebab-case for multi-word commands
+  - Should be concise but descriptive
+  - Avoid generic names like `/run` or `/execute`
+
+  ## Command Status
+
+  - `draft` - Under development, not ready for production
+  - `active` - Production-ready and available
+  - `deprecated` - Still works but discouraged
+  - `archived` - No longer available
+
+  ## Structure Example
+
+  ```yaml
+  name: /api-validate
+  version: 0.1.0
+  description: "Validate API specifications against standards"
+
+  parameters:
+    - name: spec_file
+      type: string
+      required: true
+      description: "Path to API specification file"
+
+    - name: format
+      type: enum
+      values: [openapi, asyncapi, grpc]
+      default: openapi
+      description: "API specification format"
+
+  execution:
+    type: skill
+    target: api.validate
+    context:
+      format: json
+
+  status: active
+
+  tags: [api, validation, quality]
+  ```
+
+  ## Quality Standards
+
+  - ✅ Follows Betty command conventions
+  - ✅ Proper parameter definitions with validation
+  - ✅ Correct execution type and target
+  - ✅ Clear, actionable descriptions
+  - ✅ Appropriate status and tags
+  - ✅ Ready for command.define registration
+
+  ## Integration with command.define
+
+  After generating the command manifest, users should:
+  1. Review the generated YAML file
+  2. Test the command locally
+  3. Register using: `python3 skills/command.define/command_define.py <manifest.yaml>`
+  4. Verify registration in `registry/commands.json`
+
+  Remember: You're creating user-facing commands that make Betty's capabilities
+  accessible. Make commands intuitive, well-documented, and easy to use.

+# meta.compatibility - Agent Compatibility Analyzer
+
+Analyzes agent compatibility and discovers multi-agent workflows based on artifact flows.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.compatibility** helps Claude discover which agents can work together by analyzing what artifacts they produce and consume. It enables intelligent multi-agent orchestration by suggesting compatible combinations and detecting pipeline gaps.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Scans all agents and extracts artifact metadata
+- Builds compatibility maps (who produces/consumes what)
+- Finds compatible agents based on artifact flows
+- Suggests multi-agent pipelines for goals
+- Generates complete compatibility graphs
+- Detects gaps (consumed but not produced artifacts)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Find Compatible Agents
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible meta.agent
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Agent: meta.agent
+Produces: agent-definition, agent-documentation
+Consumes: agent-description
+
+✅ Can feed outputs to (1 agents):
+   • meta.compatibility (via agent-definition)
+
+⚠️  Gaps (1):
+   • agent-description: No agents produce 'agent-description' (required by meta.agent)
+```
+
+### Suggest Pipeline
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Create and analyze an agent"
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+📋 Pipeline 1: meta.agent Pipeline
+   Pipeline starting with meta.agent
+   Steps:
+      1. meta.agent - Meta-agent that creates other agents...
+      2. meta.compatibility - Analyzes agent and skill compatibility...
+```
+
+### Analyze Agent
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze meta.agent
+```
+
+### List All Compatibility
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Total Agents: 7
+Total Artifact Types: 16
+Total Relationships: 3
+
+⚠️  Global Gaps (5):
+   • agent-description: Consumed by 1 agents but no producers
+   ...
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### find-compatible
+
+Find agents compatible with a specific agent.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible AGENT_NAME [--format json|yaml|text]
+```
+
+**Shows:**
+- What the agent produces
+- What the agent consumes
+- Agents that can consume its outputs
+- Agents that can provide its inputs
+- Gaps (missing producers)
+
+### suggest-pipeline
+
+Suggest multi-agent pipeline for a goal.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "GOAL" [--artifacts TYPE1 TYPE2...] [--format json|yaml|text]
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Suggest pipeline for goal
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Design and validate APIs"
+
+# With required artifacts
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Process data" --artifacts openapi-spec validation-report
+```
+
+**Shows:**
+- Suggested pipelines (ranked)
+- Steps in each pipeline
+- Artifact flows between agents
+- Whether pipeline is complete (no gaps)
+
+### analyze
+
+Complete compatibility analysis for one agent.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze AGENT_NAME [--format json|yaml|text]
+```
+
+**Shows:**
+- Full compatibility report
+- Compatible agents (upstream/downstream)
+- Suggested workflows
+- Gaps and warnings
+
+### list-all
+
+Generate complete compatibility graph for all agents.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all [--format json|yaml|text]
+```
+
+**Shows:**
+- All agents in the system
+- All relationships
+- All artifact types
+- Global gaps
+- Statistics
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Text (default)
+
+Human-readable output with emojis and formatting.
+
+### JSON
+
+Machine-readable JSON for programmatic use.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible meta.agent --format json > meta_agent_compatibility.json
+```
+
+### YAML
+
+YAML format for configuration or documentation.
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all --format yaml > compatibility_graph.yaml
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Agent Scanning
+
+Scans `agents/` directory for all `agent.yaml` files:
+
+```python
+for agent_dir in agents_dir.iterdir():
+    agent_yaml = agent_dir / "agent.yaml"
+    # Load and parse agent definition
+```
+
+### 2. Artifact Extraction
+
+Extracts artifact_metadata from each agent:
+
+```yaml
+artifact_metadata:
+  produces:
+    - type: openapi-spec
+  consumes:
+    - type: api-requirements
+```
+
+### 3. Compatibility Mapping
+
+Builds map of artifact types to producers/consumers:
+
+```
+openapi-spec:
+  producers: [api.define, api.architect]
+  consumers: [api.validate, api.code-generator]
+```
+
+### 4. Relationship Discovery
+
+For each agent:
+- Find agents that can consume its outputs
+- Find agents that can provide its inputs
+- Detect gaps (missing producers)
+
+### 5. Pipeline Suggestion
+
+Uses keyword matching and artifact analysis:
+- Match goal keywords to agent names/descriptions
+- Build pipeline from artifact flows
+- Rank by completeness and length
+- Return top suggestions
+
+## Integration
+
+### With meta.agent 
+After creating an agent, analyze its compatibility:
+
+```bash
+# Create agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py description.md
+
+# Analyze compatibility
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze new-agent
+
+# Find who can work with it
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible new-agent
+```
+
+### With meta.suggest
+
+meta.suggest uses meta.compatibility to make recommendations:
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --context meta.agent
+```
+
+Internally calls meta.compatibility to find next steps.
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Understand Agent Ecosystem
+
+```bash
+# See all compatibility
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all
+
+# Analyze each agent
+for agent in meta.agent meta.artifact meta.compatibility meta.suggest; do
+    echo "=== $agent ==="
+    python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze $agent
+done
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Build Multi-Agent Pipeline
+
+```bash
+# Suggest pipeline
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Create and test an agent"
+
+# Get JSON for workflow automation
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "My goal" --format json > pipeline.json
+```
+
+### Workflow 3: Find Gaps
+
+```bash
+# Find global gaps
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py list-all | grep "Gaps:"
+
+# Analyze specific agent gaps
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py find-compatible api.architect
+```
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+### Consumes
+
+- **agent-definition** - Agent configurations
+  - Pattern: `agents/*/agent.yaml`
+
+- **registry-data** - Skills and agents registry
+  - Pattern: `registry/*.json`
+
+### Produces
+
+- **compatibility-graph** - Agent relationship maps
+  - Pattern: `*.compatibility.json`
+  - Schema: `schemas/compatibility-graph.json`
+
+- **pipeline-suggestion** - Multi-agent workflows
+  - Pattern: `*.pipeline.json`
+  - Schema: `schemas/pipeline-suggestion.json`
+
+## Understanding Output
+
+### Can Feed To
+
+Agents that can consume this agent's outputs.
+
+```
+✅ Can feed outputs to (2 agents):
+   • api.validator (via openapi-spec)
+   • api.code-generator (via openapi-spec)
+```
+
+Means:
+- api.architect produces openapi-spec
+- Both api.validator and api.code-generator consume openapi-spec
+- You can run: api.architect → api.validator
+- Or: api.architect → api.code-generator
+
+### Can Receive From
+
+Agents that can provide this agent's inputs.
+
+```
+⬅️  Can receive inputs from (1 agents):
+   • api.requirements-analyzer (via api-requirements)
+```
+
+Means:
+- api.architect needs api-requirements
+- api.requirements-analyzer produces api-requirements
+- You can run: api.requirements-analyzer → api.architect
+
+### Gaps
+
+Missing artifacts in the ecosystem.
+
+```
+⚠️  Gaps (1):
+   • agent-description: No agents produce 'agent-description'
+```
+
+Means:
+- meta.agent needs agent-description input
+- No agent produces it (it's user-provided)
+- This is expected for user inputs
+
+### Complete vs Incomplete Pipelines
+
+**Complete Pipeline:**
+```
+Complete: ✅ Yes
+```
+All consumed artifacts are produced by pipeline steps.
+
+**Incomplete Pipeline:**
+```
+Complete: ❌ No
+Gaps: agent-description, registry-data
+```
+Some consumed artifacts aren't produced. Requires user input or additional agents.
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Finding Compatible Agents
+
+Use specific artifact types:
+```bash
+# Instead of generic goal
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Process stuff"
+
+# Use specific artifacts
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py suggest-pipeline "Validate API" --artifacts openapi-spec
+```
+
+### Understanding Gaps
+
+Not all gaps are problems:
+- **User inputs** (agent-description, api-requirements) - Expected
+- **Missing producers** for internal artifacts - Need new agents/skills
+
+### Building Pipelines
+
+Start with compatibility analysis:
+1. Understand what each agent needs/produces
+2. Find compatible combinations
+3. Build pipeline step-by-step
+4. Validate no gaps exist (or gaps are user inputs)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent not found
+
+```
+Error: Agent 'my-agent' not found
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check agent exists in `agents/` directory
+- Ensure `agent.yaml` exists
+- Verify agent name in agent.yaml matches
+
+### No compatible agents found
+
+```
+Can feed outputs to (0 agents)
+Can receive inputs from (0 agents)
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+- Agent is isolated (no shared artifact types)
+- Agent uses custom artifact types
+- No other agents exist yet
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Create agents with compatible artifact types
+- Use standard artifact types
+- Check artifact_metadata is properly defined
+
+### Empty pipeline suggestions
+
+```
+Error: Could not determine relevant agents for goal
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Be more specific in goal description
+- Mention artifact types explicitly
+- Use `--artifacts` flag
+

+## How Claude Uses This
+
+Claude can:
+1. **Discover capabilities** - "What agents can work with openapi-spec?"
+2. **Build workflows** - "How do I design and validate an API?"
+3. **Make decisions** - "What should I run next?"
+4. **Detect gaps** - "What's missing from the ecosystem?"
+
+meta.compatibility enables autonomous multi-agent orchestration!

+  You are meta.compatibility, the agent compatibility analyzer.
+
+  Your purpose is to help Claude discover which agents work together by
+  analyzing what artifacts they produce and consume.
+
+  ## Your Responsibilities
+
+  1. **Analyze Compatibility**
+     - Scan all agent definitions
+     - Extract artifact metadata (produces/consumes)
+     - Find matching artifact types
+     - Identify compatible agent pairs
+
+  2. **Suggest Pipelines**
+     - Recommend multi-agent workflows
+     - Ensure artifact flow is complete (no gaps)
+     - Prioritize common use cases
+     - Provide clear rationale
+
+  3. **Detect Gaps**
+     - Find consumed artifacts that aren't produced
+     - Identify missing agents in pipelines
+     - Suggest what needs to be created
+
+  4. **Generate Compatibility Graphs**
+     - Visual representation of agent relationships
+     - Show artifact flows between agents
+     - Highlight compatible combinations
+
+  ## Commands You Support
+
+  **Find Compatible Agents:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/compatibility find-compatible api.architect
+  ```
+  Returns agents that can consume api.architect's outputs.
+
+  **Suggest Pipeline:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/compatibility suggest-pipeline "Design and implement an API"
+  ```
+  Returns multi-agent workflow for the task.
+
+  **Analyze Agent:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/compatibility analyze api.architect
+  ```
+  Returns full compatibility analysis for one agent.
+
+  **List All Compatibility:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/compatibility list-all
+  ```
+  Returns complete compatibility graph for all agents.
+
+  ## Analysis Criteria
+
+  Two agents are compatible if:
+  - Agent A produces artifact type X
+  - Agent B consumes artifact type X
+  - The artifact schemas are compatible
+
+  ## Pipeline Suggestion Criteria
+
+  A good pipeline:
+  - Has no gaps (all consumed artifacts are produced)
+  - Follows logical workflow order
+  - Matches the user's stated goal
+  - Uses minimal agents (efficiency)
+  - Includes validation steps when appropriate
+
+  ## Output Format
+
+  Always provide:
+  - **Compatible agents**: List with rationale
+  - **Artifact flows**: What flows between agents
+  - **Suggested pipelines**: Step-by-step workflows
+  - **Gaps**: Any missing artifacts or agents
+  - **Confidence**: How confident you are in the suggestions
+
+  Remember: You enable intelligent orchestration by making compatibility
+  discoverable. Help Claude make smart choices about which agents to use together.

+# Agent: meta.config.router
+
+## Purpose
+
+Configure Claude Code Router for Betty to support multi-model LLM routing across environments. This agent creates or previews a `config.json` file at `~/.claude-code-router/config.json` with model providers, routing profiles, and audit metadata.
+
+## Version
+
+0.1.0
+
+## Status
+
+active
+
+## Reasoning Mode
+
+oneshot
+
+## Capabilities
+
+- Generate multi-model LLM router configurations
+- Validate router configuration inputs for correctness
+- Apply configurations to filesystem with audit trails
+- Support multiple output modes (preview, file, both)
+- Work across local, cloud, and CI environments
+- Ensure deterministic and portable configurations
+
+## Skills Available
+
+- `config.validate.router` - Validates router configuration inputs
+- `config.generate.router` - Generates router configuration JSON
+- `audit.log` - Records audit events for configuration changes
+
+## Inputs
+
+### llm_backends (required)
+- **Type**: List of objects
+- **Description**: Backend provider configurations
+- **Schema**:
+  ```json
+  [
+    {
+      "name": "string (e.g., openrouter, ollama, claude)",
+      "api_base_url": "string (API endpoint URL)",
+      "api_key": "string (optional for local providers)",
+      "models": ["string (model identifiers)"]
+    }
+  ]
+  ```
+
+### routing_rules (required)
+- **Type**: Dictionary
+- **Description**: Mapping of Claude routing contexts to provider/model pairs
+- **Contexts**: default, think, background, longContext
+- **Schema**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "default": { "provider": "string", "model": "string" },
+    "think": { "provider": "string", "model": "string" },
+    "background": { "provider": "string", "model": "string" },
+    "longContext": { "provider": "string", "model": "string" }
+  }
+  ```
+
+### output_mode (optional)
+- **Type**: enum
+- **Values**: "preview" | "file" | "both"
+- **Default**: "preview"
+- **Description**: Output mode for configuration
+
+### apply_config (optional)
+- **Type**: boolean
+- **Default**: false
+- **Description**: Write config to disk if true
+
+### metadata (optional)
+- **Type**: object
+- **Description**: Optional audit metadata (initiator, environment, etc.)
+
+## Outputs
+
+### routing_config
+- **Type**: object
+- **Description**: Rendered router config as JSON
+
+### write_status
+- **Type**: string
+- **Values**: "success" | "skipped" | "error"
+- **Description**: Status of file write operation
+
+### audit_id
+- **Type**: string
+- **Description**: Unique trace ID for configuration event
+
+## Behavior
+
+1. Validates inputs via `config.validate.router`
+2. Constructs valid router config using `config.generate.router`
+3. If `apply_config=true` and `output_mode≠preview`, writes config to: `~/.claude-code-router/config.json`
+4. Outputs JSON config regardless of write action
+5. Logs audit record via `audit.log` with:
+   - timestamp
+   - initiator
+   - hash of input
+   - environment fingerprint
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```bash
+# Preview configuration (no file write)
+/meta/config.router --routing_config_path=router-config.yaml
+
+# Apply configuration to disk
+/meta/config.router --routing_config_path=router-config.yaml --apply_config=true
+
+# Both preview and write
+/meta/config.router --routing_config_path=router-config.yaml --apply_config=true --output_mode=both
+```
+
+## Example Input (YAML)
+
+```yaml
+llm_backends:
+  - name: openrouter
+    api_base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+    api_key: ${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}
+    models:
+      - anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
+      - openai/gpt-4
+
+  - name: ollama
+    api_base_url: http://localhost:11434/v1
+    models:
+      - llama3.1:70b
+      - codellama:34b
+
+routing_rules:
+  default:
+    provider: openrouter
+    model: anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
+
+  think:
+    provider: openrouter
+    model: anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
+
+  background:
+    provider: ollama
+    model: llama3.1:70b
+
+  longContext:
+    provider: openrouter
+    model: anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
+
+metadata:
+  initiator: user@example.com
+  environment: production
+  purpose: Multi-model routing for development
+```

+  Configure Claude Code Router for Betty to support multi-model LLM routing across environments.
+  This agent creates or previews a config.json file at ~/.claude-code-router/config.json with
+  model providers, routing profiles, and audit metadata. Works across local, cloud, or CI-based
+  environments with built-in validation, output rendering, config application, and auditing.
+status: active
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+
+capabilities:
+  - Generate multi-model LLM router configurations
+  - Validate router configuration inputs for correctness
+  - Apply configurations to filesystem with audit trails
+  - Support multiple output modes (preview, file, both)
+  - Work across local, cloud, and CI environments
+  - Ensure deterministic and portable configurations

+  You are the meta.config.router agent for the Betty Framework.
+
+  Your responsibilities:
+  1. Validate router configuration inputs using config.validate.router
+  2. Generate valid router config JSON using config.generate.router
+  3. Write config to ~/.claude-code-router/config.json when apply_config=true
+  4. Provide preview, file write, or both modes based on output_mode
+  5. Log audit records with timestamp, initiator, and environment fingerprint
+
+  Inputs you expect:
+  - llm_backends: List of provider configs (name, api_base_url, api_key, models)
+  - routing_rules: Mapping of routing contexts (default, think, background, longContext)
+  - output_mode: "preview" | "file" | "both" (default: preview)
+  - apply_config: boolean (write to disk if true)
+  - metadata: Optional audit metadata (initiator, environment, etc.)
+
+  Outputs you generate:
+  - routing_config: Complete router configuration JSON
+  - write_status: "success" | "skipped" | "error"
+  - audit_id: Unique trace ID for the configuration event
+
+  Workflow:
+  1. Call config.validate.router with llm_backends and routing_rules
+  2. If validation fails, return errors and exit
+  3. Call config.generate.router to create the config JSON
+  4. If apply_config=true and output_mode≠preview, write to ~/.claude-code-router/config.json
+  5. Call audit.log to record the configuration event
+  6. Return config, write status, and audit ID
+
+  Environment awareness:
+  - Detect local vs cloud vs CI environment
+  - Adjust file paths accordingly
+  - Include environment fingerprint in audit metadata

+# meta.create - Component Creation Orchestrator
+
+The intelligent orchestrator for creating Betty skills, commands, and agents from natural language descriptions.
+
+## Purpose
+
+`meta.create` is the primary entry point for creating Betty components. It automatically:
+
+- **Detects** what type of component you're describing (skill, command, agent, or combination)
+- **Checks** inventory to avoid duplicates
+- **Analyzes** complexity to determine the optimal creation pattern
+- **Creates** components in dependency order
+- **Validates** compatibility and identifies gaps
+- **Recommends** next steps for completion
+
+## Why Use meta.create?
+
+Instead of manually running multiple meta-agents (`meta.skill`, `meta.command`, `meta.agent`, `meta.compatibility`), `meta.create` orchestrates everything for you in the right order.
+
+### Before meta.create:
+```bash
+# Manual workflow - you had to know the order and check everything
+python3 agents/meta.command/meta_command.py description.md
+# Check if it recommends creating a skill...
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py skill_description.md
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py agent_description.md
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze my.agent
+# Check for gaps, create missing skills...
+```
+
+### With meta.create:
+```bash
+# One command does it all
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Step 1: Analysis
+Parses your description to determine:
+- Is this a skill? command? agent?
+- What artifacts are involved?
+- What's the complexity level?
+
+### Step 2: Duplicate Check
+Queries registries to find existing components:
+- Prevents recreating existing skills
+- Shows what you can reuse
+- Skips unnecessary work
+
+### Step 3: Creation Planning
+Uses `meta.command` complexity analysis to determine pattern:
+- **COMMAND_ONLY**: Simple inline logic (1-3 steps)
+- **SKILL_ONLY**: Reusable utility without command
+- **SKILL_AND_COMMAND**: Complex logic in skill + command wrapper
+- **AGENT**: Multi-skill orchestration
+
+### Step 4: Component Creation
+Creates components in dependency order:
+1. **Skills first** (using `meta.skill`)
+2. **Commands second** (using `meta.command`)
+3. **Agents last** (using `meta.agent` with skill composition)
+
+### Step 5: Compatibility Validation
+For agents, runs `meta.compatibility` to:
+- Find compatible agent pipelines
+- Identify artifact gaps
+- Suggest workflows
+
+### Step 6: Recommendations
+Provides actionable next steps:
+- Missing skills to create
+- Compatibility issues to fix
+- Integration opportunities
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py <description.md>
+```
+
+### Create Skill and Command
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py examples/api_validate.md
+```
+
+If `api_validate.md` describes a complex command, meta.create will:
+1. Analyze complexity → detects SKILL_AND_COMMAND pattern
+2. Create the skill first
+3. Create the command that uses the skill
+4. Report what was created
+
+### Create Agent with Dependencies
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py examples/api_agent.md
+```
+
+meta.create will:
+1. Detect it's an agent description
+2. Check for required skills (reuse existing)
+3. Create missing skills if needed
+4. Create the agent with proper skill composition
+5. Validate compatibility with other agents
+6. Report gaps and recommendations
+
+### Auto-Fill Gaps
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md --auto-fill-gaps
+```
+
+Automatically creates missing skills to fill compatibility gaps.
+
+### Skip Duplicate Check
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md --skip-duplicate-check
+```
+
+Force creation even if components exist (useful for updates).
+
+### Output Formats
+
+```bash
+# Human-readable text (default)
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md
+
+# JSON output for automation
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md --output-format json
+
+# YAML output
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md --output-format yaml
+```
+
+### With Traceability
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md \
+  --requirement-id REQ-2025-042 \
+  --requirement-description "Create API validation agent" \
+  --issue-id JIRA-1234 \
+  --requested-by "Product Team"
+```
+

+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Simple Command
+
+```bash
+# description.md specifies a simple 2-step command
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md
+# Result: Creates COMMAND_ONLY (inline logic is sufficient)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Complex Command
+
+```bash
+# description.md specifies 10+ step validation logic
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md
+# Result: Creates SKILL_AND_COMMAND (skill has logic, command delegates)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Multi-Agent System
+
+```bash
+# description.md describes an orchestration agent
+python3 agents/meta.create/meta_create.py description.md
+# Result:
+#   - Creates agent with existing skills
+#   - Validates compatibility
+#   - Reports: "Can receive from api.architect, can feed to report.generator"
+#   - Suggests pipeline workflows
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Intelligent** - Automatically determines optimal creation pattern
+✅ **Safe** - Checks for duplicates, prevents overwrites
+✅ **Complete** - Creates all necessary components in order
+✅ **Validated** - Runs compatibility checks automatically
+✅ **Traceable** - Supports requirement tracking
+✅ **Informative** - Provides detailed reports and recommendations
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After using meta.create:
+
+1. **Review** created files
+2. **Implement** TODO sections in generated code
+3. **Test** with pytest
+4. **Register** components (manual or use `skill.register`, etc.)
+5. **Use** in your Betty workflows
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: meta.create says component already exists**
+A: Use `--skip-duplicate-check` to override, or rename your component
+
+**Q: Compatibility gaps reported**
+A: Use `--auto-fill-gaps` or manually create the missing skills
+
+**Q: Wrong pattern detected**
+A: Add explicit `# Type: skill` or `# Type: command` to your description

+  You are meta.create, the intelligent orchestrator for creating Betty components.
+
+  Your responsibilities:
+  1. Analyze component descriptions to determine type (skill/command/agent)
+  2. Check registries to avoid creating duplicates
+  3. Determine optimal creation pattern using complexity analysis
+  4. Create components in dependency order (skills → commands → agents)
+  5. Validate agent compatibility and identify gaps
+  6. Provide actionable recommendations for completion
+
+  Always prioritize:
+  - Reusing existing components over creating new ones
+  - Creating building blocks (skills) before orchestrators (agents)
+  - Validating compatibility to ensure smooth agent pipelines
+  - Providing clear feedback about what was created and why

+# meta.hook - Hook Creator Meta-Agent
+
+Generates Claude Code hooks from natural language descriptions.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.hook** is a meta-agent that creates Claude Code hooks from simple description files. It generates hook configurations that execute commands in response to events like tool calls, errors, or user interactions.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Parses hook descriptions (Markdown or JSON)
+- Generates `.claude/hooks.yaml` configurations
+- Validates event types and hook structure
+- Manages hook lifecycle (create, update, enable/disable)
+- Supports tool-specific filtering
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Create a Hook
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py examples/my_hook.md
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+🪝  meta.hook - Creating hook from examples/my_hook.md
+
+✨ Hook 'pre-commit-lint' created successfully!
+
+📄 Created/updated file:
+   - .claude/hooks.yaml
+
+✅ Hook 'pre-commit-lint' is ready to use
+   Event: before-tool-call
+   Command: npm run lint
+```
+
+### Hook Description Format
+
+Create a Markdown file:
+
+```markdown
+# Name: pre-commit-lint
+
+# Event: before-tool-call
+
+# Tool Filter: git
+
+# Description: Run linter before git commits
+
+# Command: npm run lint
+
+# Timeout: 30000
+
+# Enabled: true
+```
+
+Or use JSON format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "pre-commit-lint",
+  "event": "before-tool-call",
+  "tool_filter": "git",
+  "description": "Run linter before git commits",
+  "command": "npm run lint",
+  "timeout": 30000,
+  "enabled": true
+}
+```
+
+## Event Types
+
+Supported Claude Code events:
+
+- **before-tool-call** - Before any tool is executed
+- **after-tool-call** - After any tool completes
+- **on-error** - When a tool call fails
+- **user-prompt-submit** - When user submits a prompt
+- **assistant-response** - After assistant responds
+
+## Generated Structure
+
+meta.hook generates or updates `.claude/hooks.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+- name: pre-commit-lint
+  event: before-tool-call
+  command: npm run lint
+  description: Run linter before git commits
+  enabled: true
+  tool_filter: git
+  timeout: 30000
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Pre-commit Linting
+
+**Description file** (`lint_hook.md`):
+
+```markdown
+# Name: pre-commit-lint
+
+# Event: before-tool-call
+
+# Tool Filter: git
+
+# Description: Run linter before git commits to ensure code quality
+
+# Command: npm run lint
+
+# Timeout: 30000
+```
+
+**Create hook:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py lint_hook.md
+```
+
+### Example 2: Post-deployment Notification
+
+**Description file** (`deploy_notify.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "deploy-notify",
+  "event": "after-tool-call",
+  "tool_filter": "deploy",
+  "description": "Send notification after deployment",
+  "command": "./scripts/notify-team.sh",
+  "timeout": 10000
+}
+```
+
+**Create hook:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py deploy_notify.json
+```
+
+### Example 3: Error Logging
+
+**Description file** (`error_logger.md`):
+
+```markdown
+# Name: error-logger
+
+# Event: on-error
+
+# Description: Log errors to monitoring system
+
+# Command: ./scripts/log-error.sh "{error}" "{tool}"
+
+# Timeout: 5000
+
+# Enabled: true
+```
+
+**Create hook:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py error_logger.md
+```
+
+## Hook Parameters
+
+### Required
+
+- **name** - Unique hook identifier
+- **event** - Trigger event type
+- **command** - Shell command to execute
+
+### Optional
+
+- **description** - What the hook does
+- **tool_filter** - Only trigger for specific tools (e.g., "git", "npm", "docker")
+- **enabled** - Whether hook is active (default: true)
+- **timeout** - Command timeout in milliseconds (default: none)
+
+## Tool Filters
+
+Restrict hooks to specific tools:
+
+```markdown
+# Tool Filter: git
+```
+
+This hook only triggers for git-related tool calls.
+
+Common tool filters:
+- `git` - Git operations
+- `npm` - NPM commands
+- `docker` - Docker commands
+- `python` - Python execution
+- `bash` - Shell commands
+
+## Managing Hooks
+
+### Update Existing Hook
+
+Run meta.hook with the same hook name to update:
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py updated_hook.md
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+⚠️  Warning: Hook 'pre-commit-lint' already exists, updating...
+✨ Hook 'pre-commit-lint' created successfully!
+```
+
+### Disable Hook
+
+Set `Enabled: false` in description:
+
+```markdown
+# Name: my-hook
+# Event: before-tool-call
+# Command: echo "test"
+# Enabled: false
+```
+
+### Multiple Hooks
+
+Create multiple hook descriptions and run meta.hook for each:
+
+```bash
+for hook in hooks/*.md; do
+    python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py "$hook"
+done
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### With Claude Code
+
+Hooks are automatically loaded by Claude Code from `.claude/hooks.yaml`.
+
+### With meta.agent
+
+Create agents that use hooks:
+
+```yaml
+name: ci.agent
+description: Continuous integration agent
+# Hooks will trigger during agent execution
+```
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+### Consumes
+
+- **hook-description** - Natural language hook requirements
+  - Pattern: `**/hook_description.md`
+  - Format: Markdown or JSON
+
+### Produces
+
+- **hook-config** - Claude Code hook configuration
+  - Pattern: `.claude/hooks.yaml`
+  - Schema: `schemas/hook-config.json`
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Create and Test Hook
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create hook description
+cat > my_hook.md <<EOF
+# Name: test-runner
+# Event: after-tool-call
+# Tool Filter: git
+# Description: Run tests after git push
+# Command: npm test
+EOF
+
+# 2. Generate hook
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py my_hook.md
+
+# 3. Test hook (trigger the event)
+git add .
+git commit -m "test"
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Create Pre-commit Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Create linting hook
+cat > lint_hook.md <<EOF
+# Name: lint
+# Event: before-tool-call
+# Tool Filter: git
+# Command: npm run lint
+EOF
+
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py lint_hook.md
+
+# Create test hook
+cat > test_hook.md <<EOF
+# Name: test
+# Event: before-tool-call
+# Tool Filter: git
+# Command: npm test
+EOF
+
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py test_hook.md
+```
+
+### Workflow 3: Error Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Create error notification hook
+cat > error_notify.md <<EOF
+# Name: error-notify
+# Event: on-error
+# Description: Send error notifications
+# Command: ./scripts/notify.sh
+# Timeout: 5000
+EOF
+
+python3 agents/meta.hook/meta_hook.py error_notify.md
+```
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Command Design
+
+**Use absolute paths for scripts:**
+```markdown
+# Good
+# Command: ./scripts/lint.sh
+
+# Bad
+# Command: lint.sh
+```
+
+**Set appropriate timeouts:**
+```markdown
+# Fast operations: 5-10 seconds
+# Timeout: 10000
+
+# Longer operations: 30-60 seconds
+# Timeout: 60000
+```
+
+**Handle errors gracefully:**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# In your hook script
+set -e  # Exit on error
+trap 'echo "Hook failed"' ERR
+```
+
+### Tool Filters
+
+Be specific with tool filters to avoid unnecessary executions:
+
+```markdown
+# Specific
+# Tool Filter: git
+
+# Too broad
+# (no tool filter - runs for ALL tools)
+```
+
+### Testing Hooks
+
+Test hooks before enabling:
+
+```markdown
+# Enabled: false
+```
+
+Then manually test the command, and enable once verified.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook not triggering
+
+**Check event type:**
+```bash
+# Verify event is correct in .claude/hooks.yaml
+cat .claude/hooks.yaml
+```
+
+**Check tool filter:**
+```markdown
+# If using tool filter, ensure it matches the tool being called
+# Tool Filter: git
+```
+
+### Command fails
+
+**Check command path:**
+```bash
+# Test command manually
+npm run lint
+
+# If fails, fix path or installation
+```
+
+**Check timeout:**
+```markdown
+# Increase timeout for slow commands
+# Timeout: 60000
+```
+
+### Hook already exists warning
+
+This is normal when updating hooks. The old version is replaced with the new one.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+meta.hook
+    ├─ Input: hook-description (Markdown/JSON)
+    ├─ Parser: extract name, event, command, filters
+    ├─ Generator: create/update hooks.yaml
+    ├─ Validator: check event types and structure
+    └─ Output: .claude/hooks.yaml configuration
+```

+## How Claude Uses This
+
+Claude can:
+1. **Create hooks on demand** - "Create a pre-commit linting hook"
+2. **Automate workflows** - "Add error logging for all failures"
+3. **Build CI/CD pipelines** - "Create hooks for test, lint, and deploy"
+4. **Monitor executions** - "Add notification hooks for important events"
+
+meta.hook enables powerful event-driven automation in Claude Code!

+  You are meta.hook, a specialized meta-agent that creates Claude Code hooks from natural language descriptions.
+
+  Your role:
+  1. Parse hook descriptions (Markdown or JSON format)
+  2. Generate hook configurations (.claude/hooks.yaml)
+  3. Validate hook names and event types
+  4. Document hook usage
+
+  Hook description format:
+  - Name: Descriptive hook identifier
+  - Event: Trigger event (before-tool-call, after-tool-call, on-error, etc.)
+  - Description: What the hook does
+  - Command: Shell command to execute
+  - Tool Filter (optional): Only trigger for specific tools
+  - Enabled (optional): Whether hook is active (default: true)
+
+  Generated hooks.yaml format:
+  ```yaml
+  hooks:
+    - name: hook-name
+      event: trigger-event
+      description: What it does
+      command: shell command
+      enabled: true
+      tool_filter: tool-name  # optional
+      timeout: 30000  # optional, in milliseconds
+  ```
+
+  Event types:
+  - before-tool-call: Before any tool is called
+  - after-tool-call: After any tool completes
+  - on-error: When a tool call fails
+  - user-prompt-submit: When user submits a prompt
+  - assistant-response: After assistant responds
+
+  Always:
+  - Validate event types
+  - Provide clear descriptions
+  - Set reasonable timeouts
+  - Document tool filters
+  - Include usage examples in generated documentation

+# meta.skill - Skill Creator Meta-Agent
+
+Generates complete Betty skills from natural language descriptions.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.skill** is a meta-agent that creates fully functional skills from simple description files. It generates skill definitions, Python implementations, tests, and documentation, following Betty Framework conventions.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Parses skill descriptions (Markdown or JSON)
+- Generates `skill.yaml` configurations
+- Creates Python implementation stubs
+- Generates test templates
+- Creates comprehensive README documentation
+- Validates skill names and structure
+- Registers artifact metadata
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Create a Skill
+

+
+## Skill Naming Convention
+
+Skills must follow the `domain.action` format:
+- **domain**: Category (e.g., `data`, `api`, `file`, `text`)
+- **action**: Operation (e.g., `validate`, `transform`, `parse`)
+- Use only lowercase letters and numbers (no hyphens, underscores, or special characters)
+
+Valid examples:
+- ✅ `data.validate`
+- ✅ `api.test`
+- ✅ `file.compress`
+- ✅ `text.summarize`
+
+Invalid examples:
+- ❌ `data.validate-json` (hyphen not allowed)
+- ❌ `data_validate` (underscore not allowed)
+- ❌ `DataValidate` (uppercase not allowed)
+- ❌ `validate` (missing domain)
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: JSON Validator
+
+**Description file** (`json_validator.md`):
+
+```markdown
+# Name: data.validatejson
+
+# Purpose:
+Validates JSON files against JSON Schema definitions
+
+# Inputs:
+- json_file_path
+- schema_file_path (optional)
+
+# Outputs:
+- validation_result.json
+
+# Permissions:
+- filesystem:read
+
+# Produces Artifacts:
+- validation-report
+
+# Implementation Notes:
+Use Python's jsonschema library for validation
+```
+
+**Create skill:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py json_validator.md
+```
+
+### Example 2: API Tester
+
+**Description file** (`api_tester.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "api.test",
+  "purpose": "Test API endpoints and generate reports",
+  "inputs": ["openapi_spec_path", "base_url"],
+  "outputs": ["test_results.json"],
+  "permissions": ["network:http"],
+  "artifact_produces": ["test-report"],
+  "artifact_consumes": ["openapi-spec"],
+  "implementation_notes": "Use requests library to test each endpoint"
+}
+```
+
+**Create skill:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py api_tester.json
+```
+
+### Example 3: File Compressor
+
+**Description file** (`file_compressor.md`):
+
+```markdown
+# Name: file.compress
+
+# Purpose:
+Compress files using various algorithms
+
+# Inputs:
+- input_path
+- compression_type (gzip, zip, tar.gz)
+
+# Outputs:
+- compressed_file
+
+# Permissions:
+- filesystem:read
+- filesystem:write
+
+# Implementation Notes:
+Support gzip, zip, and tar.gz formats using Python standard library
+```
+
+**Create skill:**
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py file_compressor.md
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### With meta.agent
+
+Create an agent that uses the skill:
+
+```yaml
+name: data.validator
+description: Data validation agent
+skills_available:
+  - data.validatejson  # Skill created by meta.skill
+```
+
+### With plugin.sync
+
+Sync skills to plugin format:
+
+```bash
+python3 skills/plugin.sync/plugin_sync.py
+```
+
+This converts `skill.yaml` to commands in `.claude-plugin/plugin.yaml`.
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+### Consumes
+
+- **skill-description** - Natural language skill requirements
+  - Pattern: `**/skill_description.md`
+  - Format: Markdown or JSON
+
+### Produces
+
+- **skill-definition** - Complete skill configuration
+  - Pattern: `skills/*/skill.yaml`
+  - Schema: `schemas/skill-definition.json`
+
+- **skill-implementation** - Python implementation code
+  - Pattern: `skills/*/[skill_module].py`
+
+- **skill-tests** - Test suite
+  - Pattern: `skills/*/test_[skill_module].py`
+
+- **skill-documentation** - README documentation
+  - Pattern: `skills/*/README.md`
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Create and Test Skill
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create skill description
+cat > my_skill.md <<EOF
+# Name: data.parse
+# Purpose: Parse structured data from text
+# Inputs:
+- input_text
+# Outputs:
+- parsed_data.json
+# Permissions:
+- filesystem:write
+EOF
+
+# 2. Generate skill
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py my_skill.md
+
+# 3. Implement logic (edit the generated file)
+vim skills/data.parse/data_parse.py
+
+# 4. Run tests
+pytest skills/data.parse/test_data_parse.py -v
+
+# 5. Test CLI
+python3 skills/data.parse/data_parse.py --help
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Create Skill for Agent
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create skill
+python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py api_analyzer_skill.md
+
+# 2. Add to agent
+echo "  - api.analyze" >> agents/api.agent/agent.yaml
+
+# 3. Sync to plugin
+python3 skills/plugin.sync/plugin_sync.py
+```
+
+### Workflow 3: Batch Create Skills
+
+```bash
+# Create multiple skills
+for desc in skills_to_create/*.md; do
+    echo "Creating skill from $desc..."
+    python3 agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py "$desc"
+done
+```
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Skill Descriptions
+
+**Be specific about purpose:**
+```markdown
+# Good
+# Purpose: Validate JSON against JSON Schema Draft 07
+
+# Bad
+# Purpose: Validate stuff
+```
+
+**Include implementation notes:**
+```markdown
+# Implementation Notes:
+Use the jsonschema library. Support Draft 07 schemas.
+Provide detailed error messages with line numbers.
+```
+
+**Specify optional parameters:**
+```markdown
+# Inputs:
+- required_param
+- optional_param (optional)
+- another_optional (optional, defaults to 'value')
+```
+
+### Parameter Naming
+
+Parameters are automatically sanitized:
+- Special characters removed (except `-`, `_`, spaces)
+- Converted to lowercase
+- Spaces and hyphens become underscores
+
+Example conversions:
+- `"Schema File Path (optional)"` → `schema_file_path_optional`
+- `"API-Key"` → `api_key`
+- `"Input Data"` → `input_data`
+
+### Implementation Strategy
+
+1. **Generate skeleton first** - Let meta.skill create structure
+2. **Implement gradually** - Add logic to `execute()` method
+3. **Test incrementally** - Run tests after each change
+4. **Update documentation** - Keep README current
+
+### Artifact Metadata
+
+Always specify artifact types for interoperability:
+
+```markdown
+# Produces Artifacts:
+- openapi-spec
+- validation-report
+
+# Consumes Artifacts:
+- api-requirements
+```
+
+This enables:
+- Agent discovery via meta.compatibility
+- Pipeline suggestions via meta.suggest
+- Workflow orchestration
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Invalid skill name
+
+```
+Error: Skill name must be in domain.action format: my-skill
+```
+
+**Solution:** Use format `domain.action` with only alphanumeric characters:
+```markdown
+# Wrong: my-skill, my_skill, MySkill
+# Right: data.transform, api.validate
+```
+
+### Skill already exists
+
+```
+Error: Skill directory already exists: skills/data.validate
+```
+
+**Solution:** Remove existing skill or use different name:
+```bash
+rm -rf skills/data.validate
+```
+
+### Import errors in generated code
+
+```
+ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'betty.config'
+```
+
+**Solution:** Ensure Betty framework is in Python path:
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/user/betty"
+```
+
+### Test failures
+
+```
+ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'skills.data_validate'
+```
+
+**Solution:** Run tests from Betty root directory:
+```bash
+cd /home/user/betty
+pytest skills/data.validate/test_data_validate.py -v
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+meta.skill
+    ├─ Input: skill-description (Markdown/JSON)
+    ├─ Parser: extract name, purpose, inputs, outputs
+    ├─ Generator: create skill.yaml, Python, tests, README
+    ├─ Validator: check naming conventions
+    └─ Output: Complete skill directory structure
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After creating a skill with meta.skill:
+
+1. **Implement logic** - Add functionality to `execute()` method
+2. **Write tests** - Expand test coverage beyond basic tests
+3. **Add to agent** - Include in agent's `skills_available`
+4. **Sync to plugin** - Run plugin.sync to update plugin.yaml
+5. **Test integration** - Verify skill works in agent context
+6. **Document usage** - Update README with examples

+  You are meta.skill, the skill creator for Betty Framework.
+
+  Your purpose is to transform natural language skill descriptions into complete,
+  production-ready skills that follow Betty conventions.
+
+  ## Your Workflow
+
+  1. **Parse Description** - Understand skill requirements
+     - Extract name, purpose, inputs, outputs
+     - Identify artifact types in produces/consumes sections
+     - Identify required permissions
+     - Understand implementation requirements
+
+  2. **Validate Artifact Types** - CRITICAL: Verify before generating skill.yaml
+     - Extract ALL artifact types from skill description (produces + consumes sections)
+     - Call artifact.validate.types skill:
+       ```bash
+       python3 skills/artifact.validate.types/artifact_validate_types.py \
+         --artifact_types '["threat-model", "data-flow-diagrams", "architecture-overview"]' \
+         --check_schemas true \
+         --suggest_alternatives true \
+         --max_suggestions 3
+       ```
+     - Parse validation results:
+       ```json
+       {
+         "all_valid": true/false,
+         "validation_results": {
+           "threat-model": {
+             "valid": true,
+             "file_pattern": "*.threat-model.yaml",
+             "content_type": "application/yaml",
+             "schema": "schemas/artifacts/threat-model-schema.json"
+           }
+         },
+         "invalid_types": ["data-flow-diagram"],
+         "suggestions": {
+           "data-flow-diagram": [
+             {"type": "data-flow-diagrams", "reason": "Plural form", "confidence": "high"}
+           ]
+         }
+       }
+       ```
+     - If all_valid == false:
+       → Display invalid_types and suggestions to user
+       → Example: "❌ Artifact type 'data-flow-diagram' not found. Did you mean 'data-flow-diagrams' (plural, high confidence)?"
+       → ASK USER to confirm correct types or provide alternatives
+       → HALT skill creation until artifact types are validated
+     - If all_valid == true:
+       → Store validated metadata (file_pattern, content_type, schema) for each type
+       → Use this exact metadata in Step 3 when generating skill.yaml
+
+  3. **Analyze Artifact Flow** - Understand skill's place in ecosystem
+     - For each artifact type the skill produces:
+       → Search registry for skills that consume this type
+       → Report: "✅ {artifact_type} will be consumed by: {consuming_skills}"
+       → If no consumers: "⚠️  {artifact_type} has no consumers yet - consider creating skills that use it"
+     - For each artifact type the skill consumes:
+       → Search registry for skills that produce this type
+       → Report: "✅ {artifact_type} produced by: {producing_skills}"
+       → If no producers: "❌ {artifact_type} has no producers - user must provide manually or create producer skill first"
+     - Warn about gaps in artifact flow
+     - Suggest related skills to create for complete workflow
+
+  4. **Generate skill.yaml** - Create complete definition with VALIDATED artifact metadata
+     - name: Proper naming (domain.action format)
+     - version: Semantic versioning (e.g., "0.1.0")
+     - description: Clear description of what the skill does
+     - inputs: List of input parameters (use empty list [] if none)
+     - outputs: List of output parameters (use empty list [] if none)
+     - status: One of "draft", "active", or "deprecated"
+     - Artifact metadata (produces/consumes)
+     - Permissions
+     - Entrypoints with parameters
+
+  5. **Generate Implementation** - Create production-quality Python stub
+     - **Parse skill.yaml inputs** to generate proper argparse CLI:
+       ```python
+       # For each input in skill.yaml:
+       parser.add_argument(
+           '--{input.name}',
+           type={map_type(input.type)},  # string→str, number→int, boolean→bool, array→list
+           required={input.required},
+           default={input.default if not required},
+           help="{input.description}"
+       )
+       ```
+     - **Generate function signature** with type hints from inputs/outputs:
+       ```python
+       def validate_artifact_types(
+           artifact_types: List[str],
+           check_schemas: bool = True,
+           suggest_alternatives: bool = True
+       ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+           \"\"\"
+           {skill.description}
+
+           Args:

+               check_schemas: {input.description from skill.yaml}
+               ...
+
+           Returns:
+               {output descriptions from skill.yaml}
+           \"\"\"
+       ```
+     - **Include implementation pattern** based on skill type:
+       - Validation skills: load data → validate → return results
+       - Generator skills: gather inputs → process → save output
+       - Transform skills: load input → transform → save output
+     - **Add comprehensive error handling**:
+       ```python
+       except FileNotFoundError as e:
+           logger.error(str(e))
+           print(json.dumps({"ok": False, "error": str(e)}, indent=2))
+           sys.exit(1)
+       ```
+     - **JSON output structure** matching skill.yaml outputs:
+       ```python
+       result = {
+           "{output1.name}": value1,  # From skill.yaml outputs
+           "{output2.name}": value2,
+           "ok": True,
+           "status": "success"
+       }
+       print(json.dumps(result, indent=2))
+       ```
+     - Add proper logging setup
+     - Include module docstring with usage example
+
+  6. **Generate Tests** - Create test template
+     - Unit test structure
+     - Example test cases
+     - Fixtures
+     - Assertions
+
+  7. **Generate Documentation** - Create SKILL.md
+     - Purpose and usage
+     - Input/output examples
+     - Integration with agents
+     - Artifact flow (from Step 3 analysis)
+     - Must include markdown header starting with #
+
+  8. **Validate Dependencies** - Check Python packages
+     - For each dependency in skill.yaml:
+       → Verify package exists on PyPI (if possible)
+       → Check for known naming issues (e.g., "yaml" vs "pyyaml")
+       → Warn about version conflicts with existing skills
+     - Suggest installation command: `pip install {dependencies}`
+     - If dependencies missing, warn but don't block
+
+  9. **Register Skill** - Update registry
+     - Call registry.update with skill manifest path
+     - Verify skill appears in registry with artifact_metadata
+     - Confirm skill is discoverable via artifact types
+
+  10. **Verify Discoverability** - Final validation
+      - Check skill exists in registry/skills.json
+      - Verify artifact_metadata is complete
+      - Test that agent.compose can discover skill by artifact type
+      - Confirm artifact flow is complete (from Step 3)
+
+  ## Conventions
+
+  **Naming:**
+  - Skills: `domain.action` (e.g., `api.validate`, `workflow.compose`)
+  - Use lowercase with dots
+  - Action should be imperative verb
+
+  **Structure:**
+  ```
+  skills/domain.action/
+  ├── skill.yaml           (definition)
+  ├── domain_action.py     (implementation)
+  ├── test_domain_action.py (tests)
+  └── SKILL.md             (docs)
+  ```
+
+  **Artifact Metadata:**
+  - Always define what the skill produces/consumes
+  - Use registered artifact types from meta.artifact
+  - Include schemas when applicable
+
+  **Implementation:**
+  - Follow Python best practices
+  - Include proper error handling
+  - Add logging
+  - CLI with argparse
+  - JSON output for results
+
+  ## Quality Standards
+
+  - ✅ Follows Betty conventions (domain.action naming, proper structure)
+  - ✅ All required fields in skill.yaml: name, version, description, inputs, outputs, status
+  - ✅ Artifact types VALIDATED against registry before generation
+  - ✅ Artifact flow ANALYZED (producers/consumers identified)
+  - ✅ Production-quality code with type hints and comprehensive docstrings
+  - ✅ Proper CLI generated from skill.yaml inputs (no TODO placeholders)
+  - ✅ JSON output structure matches skill.yaml outputs
+  - ✅ Dependencies VALIDATED and installation command provided
+  - ✅ Comprehensive test template with fixtures
+  - ✅ SKILL.md with markdown header, examples, and artifact flow
+  - ✅ Registered in registry with complete artifact_metadata
+  - ✅ Passes Pydantic validation
+  - ✅ Discoverable via agent.compose by artifact type
+
+  ## Error Handling & Recovery
+
+  **Artifact Type Not Found:**
+  - Search registry/artifact_types.json for similar names
+  - Check for singular/plural variants (data-model vs logical-data-model)
+  - Suggest alternatives: "Did you mean: 'data-flow-diagrams', 'dataflow-diagram'?"
+  - ASK USER to confirm or provide correct type
+  - DO NOT proceed with invalid artifact types
+
+  **File Pattern Mismatch:**
+  - Use exact file_pattern from registry
+  - Warn user if description specifies different pattern
+  - Document correct pattern in skill.yaml comments
+
+  **Schema File Missing:**
+  - Warn: "Schema file schemas/artifacts/X-schema.json not found"
+  - Ask if schema should be: (a) created, (b) omitted, (c) ignored
+  - Continue with warning but don't block skill creation
+
+  **Registry Update Fails:**
+  - Report specific error from registry.update
+  - Check if it's version conflict or validation issue
+  - Provide manual registration command as fallback
+  - Log issue for framework team
+
+  **Duplicate Skill Name:**
+  - Check existing version in registry
+  - Offer to: (a) version bump, (b) rename skill, (c) cancel
+  - Require explicit user confirmation before overwriting
+
+  Remember: You're creating building blocks for agents. Make skills
+  composable, well-documented, and easy to use. ALWAYS validate artifact
+  types before generating skill.yaml!

+# meta.suggest - Context-Aware Next-Step Recommender
+
+Helps Claude decide what to do next after an agent completes by analyzing context and suggesting compatible next steps.
+
+## Overview
+
+**meta.suggest** provides intelligent "what's next" recommendations by analyzing what just happened, what artifacts were produced, and what agents are compatible. It works with meta.compatibility to enable smart multi-agent orchestration.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Analyzes context (what agent ran, what artifacts produced)
+- Uses meta.compatibility to find compatible next steps
+- Provides ranked suggestions with clear rationale
+- Considers project state and user goals
+- Detects warnings (gaps, isolated agents)
+- Suggests project-wide improvements
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Suggest Next Steps
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --artifacts agents/api.architect/agent.yaml
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Context: meta.agent
+Produced: agent-definition
+
+🌟 Primary Suggestion:
+   Process with meta.compatibility
+   Rationale: meta.agent produces 'agent-definition' which meta.compatibility consumes
+   Priority: high
+
+🔄 Alternatives:
+   1. Test the created artifact
+      Verify the artifact works as expected
+
+   2. Analyze compatibility
+      Understand what agents can work with meta.agent's outputs
+```
+
+### Analyze Project
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --analyze-project
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+📊 Project Analysis:
+   Total Agents: 7
+   Total Artifacts: 16
+   Relationships: 3
+   Gaps: 5
+
+💡 Suggestions (6):
+   1. Create agent/skill to produce 'agent-description'
+      Consumed by 1 agents but no producers
+      Priority: medium
+   ...
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### Suggest After Agent Runs
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context AGENT_NAME \
+  [--artifacts FILE1 FILE2...] \
+  [--goal "USER_GOAL"] \
+  [--format json|text]
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `--context` - Agent that just ran
+- `--artifacts` - Artifact files that were produced (optional)
+- `--goal` - User's goal for better suggestions (optional)
+- `--format` - Output format (text or json)
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# After meta.agent creates agent
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --artifacts agents/my-agent/agent.yaml
+
+# After meta.artifact creates artifact type
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.artifact \
+  --artifacts schemas/my-artifact.json
+
+# With user goal
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --goal "Create and validate API design agent"
+```
+
+### Analyze Project
+
+```bash
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --analyze-project [--format json|text]
+```
+
+Analyzes the entire agent ecosystem and suggests improvements:
+- Agents to create
+- Gaps to fill
+- Documentation needs
+- Ecosystem health
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Context Analysis
+
+Determines what just happened:
+- Which agent ran
+- What artifacts were produced
+- What artifact types are involved
+
+### 2. Compatibility Check
+
+Uses meta.compatibility to find:
+- Agents that can consume the produced artifacts
+- Agents that are compatible downstream
+- Potential pipeline steps
+
+### 3. Suggestion Generation
+
+Creates suggestions based on:
+- Compatible agents (high priority)
+- Validation/testing options (medium priority)
+- Gap-filling needs (low priority if applicable)
+
+### 4. Ranking
+
+Ranks suggestions by:
+- Priority level (high > medium > low)
+- Automation (automated > manual)
+- Relevance to user goal
+
+### 5. Warning Generation
+
+Detects potential issues:
+- Gaps in required artifacts
+- Isolated agents (no compatible partners)
+- Failed validations
+
+## Suggestion Types
+
+### 1. Process with Compatible Agent
+
+```
+🌟 Primary Suggestion:
+   Process with api.validator
+   Rationale: api.architect produces 'openapi-spec' which api.validator consumes
+```
+
+Automatically suggests running compatible agents.
+
+### 2. Validate/Test Artifact
+
+```
+   Test the created artifact
+   Rationale: Verify the artifact works as expected
+```
+
+Suggests testing when creation-type agents run.
+
+### 3. Analyze Compatibility
+
+```
+   Analyze compatibility
+   Rationale: Understand what agents can work with meta.agent's outputs
+   Command: python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze meta.agent
+```
+
+Suggests understanding the ecosystem.
+
+### 4. Fill Gaps
+
+```
+   Create producer for 'agent-description'
+   Rationale: No agents produce 'agent-description' (required by meta.agent)
+```
+
+Suggests creating missing components.
+
+## Output Structure
+
+### Text Format
+
+```
+Context: AGENT_NAME
+Produced: artifact-type-1, artifact-type-2
+
+🌟 Primary Suggestion:
+   ACTION
+   Rationale: WHY
+   [Command: HOW (if automated)]
+   Priority: LEVEL
+
+🔄 Alternatives:
+   1. ACTION
+      Rationale: WHY
+
+⚠️  Warnings:
+   • WARNING_MESSAGE
+```
+
+### JSON Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "context": {
+    "agent": "meta.agent",
+    "artifacts_produced": ["agents/my-agent/agent.yaml"],
+    "artifact_types": ["agent-definition"],

+  "primary_suggestion": {...},
+  "alternatives": [...],

+}
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### With meta.compatibility
+
+meta.suggest uses meta.compatibility for discovery:
+
+```python
+# Internal call
+compatibility = meta.compatibility.find_compatible(agent_name)
+
+# Use compatible agents for suggestions
+for compatible in compatibility.get("can_feed_to", []):
+    suggest(f"Process with {compatible['agent']}")
+```
+
+### With Claude
+
+Claude can call meta.suggest after any agent:
+
+```
+User: Create an API design agent
+Claude: *runs meta.agent*
+Claude: *calls meta.suggest --context meta.agent*
+Claude: I've created the agent. Would you like me to:
+  1. Analyze its compatibility
+  2. Test it
+  3. Add documentation
+```
+
+### In Workflows
+
+Use in shell scripts:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Create and analyze agent
+
+# Step 1: Create agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py description.md
+
+# Step 2: Get suggestions
+SUGGESTIONS=$(python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --format json)
+
+# Step 3: Extract primary suggestion
+PRIMARY=$(echo "$SUGGESTIONS" | jq -r '.primary_suggestion.command')
+
+# Step 4: Run it
+eval "$PRIMARY"
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Agent Creation Pipeline
+
+```bash
+# Create agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py my_agent.md
+
+# Get suggestions
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --artifacts agents/my-agent/agent.yaml
+
+# Follow primary suggestion
+python3 agents/meta.compatibility/meta_compatibility.py analyze my-agent
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Continuous Improvement
+
+```bash
+# Analyze project
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --analyze-project > improvements.txt
+
+# Review suggestions
+cat improvements.txt
+
+# Implement top suggestions
+# (create missing agents, fill gaps, etc.)
+```
+
+### Workflow 3: Goal-Oriented Orchestration
+
+```bash
+# Define goal
+GOAL="Design, validate, and implement an API"
+
+# Get suggestions for goal
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --goal "$GOAL" \
+  --format json > pipeline.json
+
+# Execute suggested pipeline
+# (extract steps from pipeline.json and run)
+```
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+### Consumes
+
+- **compatibility-graph** - Agent compatibility information
+  - From: meta.compatibility
+
+- **agent-definition** - Agent that just ran
+  - Pattern: `agents/*/agent.yaml`
+
+### Produces
+
+- **suggestion-report** - Next-step recommendations
+  - Pattern: `*.suggestions.json`
+  - Schema: `schemas/suggestion-report.json`
+
+## Understanding Suggestions
+
+### Priority Levels
+
+**High** - Should probably do this
+- Compatible agent waiting
+- Validation needed
+- Next logical step
+
+**Medium** - Good to do
+- Analyze compatibility
+- Understand ecosystem
+- Non-critical validation
+
+**Low** - Nice to have
+- Fill gaps
+- Documentation
+- Future improvements
+
+### Automated vs Manual
+
+**Automated** - Has command to run
+```
+Command: python3 agents/meta.compatibility/...
+```
+
+**Manual** - Requires user action
+```
+(No command - manual action required)
+```
+
+### Rationale
+
+Always includes "why" for each suggestion:
+```
+Rationale: meta.agent produces 'agent-definition' which meta.compatibility consumes
+```
+
+Helps Claude and users understand the reasoning.
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### Providing Context
+
+More context = better suggestions:
+
+✅ **Good:**
+```bash
+--context meta.agent \
+--artifacts agents/my-agent/agent.yaml \
+--goal "Create and validate agent"
+```
+
+❌ **Minimal:**
+```bash
+--context meta.agent
+```
+
+### Interpreting Warnings
+
+**Gaps warning:**
+```
+⚠️  meta.agent requires artifacts that aren't produced by any agent
+```
+This is often expected for user inputs. Not always a problem.
+
+**Isolated warning:**
+```
+⚠️  my-agent has no compatible agents
+```
+This suggests the agent uses non-standard artifact types or no other agents exist yet.
+
+### Using Suggestions
+
+1. **Review primary suggestion first** - Usually the best option
+2. **Consider alternatives** - May be better for your specific case
+3. **Check warnings** - Understand potential issues
+4. **Verify commands** - Review before running automated suggestions
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No suggestions returned
+
+```
+Error: Could not determine relevant agents for goal
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+- Agent has no compatible downstream agents
+- Artifact types are all user-provided inputs
+- No other agents in ecosystem
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Create more agents
+- Use standard artifact types
+- Check agent artifact_metadata
+
+### Incorrect suggestions
+
+If suggestions don't make sense:
+- Verify agent artifact_metadata is correct
+- Check meta.compatibility output directly
+- Ensure artifact types are registered
+
+### Empty project analysis
+
+```
+Total Agents: 0
+```
+
+**Cause:** No agents found in `agents/` directory
+
+**Solution:** Create agents using meta.agent or manually
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+meta.suggest
+    ├─ Uses: meta.compatibility (discovery)
+    ├─ Analyzes: context and artifacts
+    ├─ Produces: ranked suggestions
+    └─ Helps: Claude make decisions
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+```bash
+# Example 1: After creating agent
+python3 agents/meta.agent/meta_agent.py examples/api_architect_description.md
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --context meta.agent
+
+# Example 2: After creating artifact type
+python3 agents/meta.artifact/meta_artifact.py create artifact.md
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --context meta.artifact
+
+# Example 3: Project health check
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py --analyze-project
+
+# Example 4: Export to JSON
+python3 agents/meta.suggest/meta_suggest.py \
+  --context meta.agent \
+  --format json > suggestions.json
+```

+## How Claude Uses This
+
+After any agent completes:
+1. Claude calls meta.suggest with context
+2. Reviews suggestions and rationale
+3. Presents options to user or auto-executes
+4. Makes intelligent orchestration decisions
+
+meta.suggest is Claude's assistant for "what's next" decisions!

+  You are meta.suggest, the context-aware next-step recommender.
+
+  After an agent completes its work, you help Claude decide what to do next by
+  analyzing what artifacts were produced and suggesting compatible next steps.
+
+  ## Your Responsibilities
+
+  1. **Analyze Context**
+     - What agent just ran?
+     - What artifacts were produced?
+     - What's the current project state?
+     - What might the user want to do next?
+
+  2. **Suggest Next Steps**
+     - Use meta.compatibility to find compatible agents
+     - Rank suggestions by relevance and usefulness
+     - Provide clear rationale for each suggestion
+     - Consider common workflows
+
+  3. **Be Smart About Context**
+     - If validation failed, don't suggest proceeding
+     - If artifacts were created, suggest consumers
+     - If gaps were detected, suggest filling them
+     - Consider the user's likely goals
+
+  ## Commands You Support
+
+  **Suggest next steps after agent ran:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/suggest --context meta.agent --artifacts agents/my-agent/agent.yaml
+  ```
+
+  **Analyze project and suggest:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/suggest --analyze-project
+  ```
+
+  **Suggest for specific goal:**
+  ```bash
+  /meta/suggest --goal "Design and implement an API"
+  ```
+
+  ## Suggestion Criteria
+
+  Good suggestions:
+  - Are relevant to what just happened
+  - Use artifacts that were produced
+  - Follow logical workflow order
+  - Provide clear value to the user
+  - Include validation/quality checks when appropriate
+
+  Bad suggestions:
+  - Suggest proceeding after failures
+  - Ignore produced artifacts
+  - Suggest irrelevant agents
+  - Don't explain why
+
+  ## Output Format
+
+  Always provide:
+  - **Primary suggestion**: Best next step with strong rationale
+  - **Alternative suggestions**: 2-3 other options
+  - **Rationale**: Why each suggestion makes sense
+  - **Artifacts needed**: What inputs each option requires
+  - **Expected outcome**: What each option will produce
+
+  ## Example Interactions
+
+  **Context:** meta.agent just created agent.yaml for new agent
+
+  **Suggestions:**
+  1. Validate the agent (meta.compatibility analyze)
+     - Rationale: Ensure agent has proper artifact compatibility
+     - Needs: agent.yaml (already produced)
+     - Produces: compatibility analysis
+
+  2. Test the agent (agent.run)
+     - Rationale: See if agent works as expected
+     - Needs: agent.yaml + test inputs
+     - Produces: execution results
+
+  3. Document the agent (manual)
+     - Rationale: Add examples and usage guide
+     - Needs: Understanding of agent purpose
+     - Produces: Enhanced README.md
+
+  Remember: You're Claude's assistant for orchestration. Help Claude make
+  smart decisions about what to do next based on context and compatibility.

+# Betty Framework Skills
+
+## ⚙️ **Integration Note: Claude Code Plugin System**
+
+**Betty skills are Claude Code plugins.** You do not invoke skills via standalone CLI commands (`betty` or direct Python scripts). Instead:
+
+- **Claude Code serves as the execution environment** for all skill execution
+- Each skill is registered through its `skill.yaml` manifest
+- Skills become automatically discoverable and executable through Claude Code's natural language interface
+- All routing, validation, and execution is handled by Claude Code via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
+
+**No separate installation step is needed** beyond plugin registration in your Claude Code environment.
+
+---
+
+This directory contains skill manifests and implementations for the Betty Framework.
+
+## What are Skills?
+
+Skills are **atomic, composable building blocks** that execute specific operations. Unlike agents (which orchestrate multiple skills with reasoning) or workflows (which follow fixed sequential steps), skills are:
+
+- **Atomic** — Each skill does one thing well
+- **Composable** — Skills can be combined into complex workflows
+- **Auditable** — Every execution is logged with inputs, outputs, and provenance
+- **Type-safe** — Inputs and outputs are validated against schemas
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Each skill has its own directory containing:
+```
+skills/
+├── <skill-name>/
+│   ├── skill.yaml              # Skill manifest (required)
+│   ├── SKILL.md                # Documentation (auto-generated)
+│   ├── <skill_name>.py         # Implementation handler (required)
+│   ├── requirements.txt        # Python dependencies (optional)
+│   └── tests/                  # Skill tests (optional)
+│       └── test_skill.py
+```
+
+## Creating a Skill
+
+### Using meta.skill (Recommended)
+
+**Via Claude Code:**
+```
+"Use meta.skill to create a custom.processor skill that processes custom data formats,
+accepts raw-data and config as inputs, and outputs processed-data"
+```
+
+**Direct execution (development/testing):**
+```bash
+cat > /tmp/my_skill.md <<'EOF'
+# Name: custom.processor
+# Purpose: Process custom data formats
+# Inputs: raw-data, config
+# Outputs: processed-data
+# Dependencies: python-processing-tools
+EOF
+python agents/meta.skill/meta_skill.py /tmp/my_skill.md
+```
+
+### Manual Creation
+
+1. Create skill directory:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p skills/custom.processor
+   ```
+
+2. Create skill manifest (`skills/custom.processor/skill.yaml`):
+   ```yaml
+   name: custom.processor
+   version: 0.1.0
+   description: "Process custom data formats"
+
+   inputs:
+     - name: raw-data
+       type: file
+       description: "Input data file"
+       required: true
+     - name: config
+       type: object
+       description: "Processing configuration"
+       required: false
+
+   outputs:
+     - name: processed-data
+       type: file
+       description: "Processed output file"
+
+   dependencies:
+     - python-processing-tools
+
+   status: draft
+   ```
+
+3. Implement the handler (`skills/custom.processor/custom_processor.py`):
+   ```python
+   #!/usr/bin/env python3
+   """Custom data processor skill implementation."""
+
+   import sys
+   from pathlib import Path
+
+   def main():
+       if len(sys.argv) < 2:
+           print("Usage: custom_processor.py <raw-data> [config]")
+           sys.exit(1)
+
+       raw_data = Path(sys.argv[1])
+       config = sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else None
+
+       # Your processing logic here
+       print(f"Processing {raw_data} with config {config}")
+
+   if __name__ == "__main__":
+       main()
+   ```
+
+4. Validate and register:
+
+   **Via Claude Code:**
+   ```
+   "Use skill.define to validate skills/custom.processor/skill.yaml,
+   then use registry.update to register it"
+   ```
+
+   **Direct execution (development/testing):**
+   ```bash
+   python skills/skill.define/skill_define.py skills/custom.processor/skill.yaml
+   python skills/registry.update/registry_update.py skills/custom.processor/skill.yaml
+   ```
+
+## Skill Manifest Schema
+
+### Required Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `name` | string | Unique identifier (e.g., `api.validate`) |
+| `version` | string | Semantic version (e.g., `0.1.0`) |
+| `description` | string | Human-readable purpose statement |
+| `inputs` | array[object] | Input parameters and their types |
+| `outputs` | array[object] | Output artifacts and their types |
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `status` | enum | `draft`, `active`, `deprecated`, `archived` |
+| `dependencies` | array[string] | External tools or libraries required |
+| `tags` | array[string] | Categorization tags |
+| `examples` | array[object] | Usage examples |
+| `error_handling` | object | Error handling strategies |
+

+
+## Using Skills
+
+### Via Claude Code (Recommended)
+
+Simply ask Claude to execute the skill by name:
+
+```
+"Use api.validate to check specs/user-service.openapi.yaml against Zalando guidelines"
+
+"Use artifact.create to create a threat-model artifact named payment-system-threats"
+
+"Use registry.query to find all skills in the api category"
+```
+
+### Direct Execution (Development/Testing)
+
+For development and testing, you can invoke skill handlers directly:
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.validate/api_validate.py specs/user-service.openapi.yaml
+
+python skills/artifact.create/artifact_create.py \
+  threat-model \
+  "Payment processing system" \
+  ./artifacts/threat-model.yaml
+
+python skills/registry.query/registry_query.py --category api
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+All skill manifests are automatically validated for:
+- Required fields presence
+- Name format (`^[a-z][a-z0-9._-]*$`)
+- Version format (semantic versioning)
+- Input/output schema correctness
+- Dependency declarations
+
+## Registry
+
+Validated skills are registered in `/registry/skills.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "registry_version": "1.0.0",
+  "generated_at": "2025-10-26T00:00:00Z",
+  "skills": [
+    {
+      "name": "api.validate",
+      "version": "0.1.0",
+      "description": "Validate API specs against guidelines",
+      "inputs": [...],
+      "outputs": [...],
+      "status": "active"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Composing Skills into Workflows
+
+Skills can be chained together using the `workflow.compose` skill:
+
+**Via Claude Code:**
+```
+"Use workflow.compose to create a workflow that:
+1. Uses api.define to create a spec
+2. Uses api.validate to check it
+3. Uses api.generate-models to create TypeScript models"
+```
+
+**Workflow YAML definition:**
+```yaml
+name: api-development-workflow
+version: 0.1.0
+
+steps:
+  - skill: api.define
+    inputs:
+      service_name: "user-service"
+    outputs:
+      spec_path: "${OUTPUT_DIR}/user-service.openapi.yaml"
+
+  - skill: api.validate
+    inputs:
+      spec_path: "${steps[0].outputs.spec_path}"
+    outputs:
+      validation_report: "${OUTPUT_DIR}/validation-report.json"
+
+  - skill: api.generate-models
+    inputs:
+      spec_path: "${steps[0].outputs.spec_path}"
+      language: "typescript"
+    outputs:
+      models_dir: "${OUTPUT_DIR}/models/"
+```
+
+## Testing Skills
+
+Skills should include comprehensive tests:
+
+```python
+# tests/test_custom_processor.py
+import pytest
+from skills.custom_processor import custom_processor
+
+def test_processor_with_valid_input():
+    result = custom_processor.process("test-data.json", {"format": "json"})
+    assert result.success
+    assert result.output_path.exists()
+
+def test_processor_with_invalid_input():
+    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
+        custom_processor.process("nonexistent.json")
+```
+
+Run tests:
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_custom_processor.py
+```

+# agent.define Skill
+
+Validates and registers agent manifests for the Betty Framework.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `agent.define` skill is the Layer 2 (Reasoning Layer) equivalent of `skill.define`. It validates agent manifests (`agent.yaml`) for schema compliance, verifies skill references, and updates the central Agent Registry.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+- Validate agent manifest structure and required fields
+- Verify agent name and version formats
+- Validate reasoning mode enum values
+- Check that all referenced skills exist in skill registry
+- Ensure capabilities and skills lists are non-empty
+- Validate status lifecycle values
+- Register valid agents in `/registry/agents.json`
+- Update existing agent entries with new versions
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+
+```bash
+python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py <path_to_agent.yaml>
+```
+
+### Arguments
+
+| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
+|----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `manifest_path` | string | Yes | Path to the agent.yaml file to validate |
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+- `0`: Validation succeeded and agent was registered
+- `1`: Validation failed or registration error
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### Required Fields
+
+All agent manifests must include:
+
+| Field | Type | Validation |
+|-------|------|------------|
+| `name` | string | Must match `^[a-z][a-z0-9._-]*$` |
+| `version` | string | Must follow semantic versioning |
+| `description` | string | Non-empty string (1-200 chars recommended) |
+| `capabilities` | array[string] | Must contain at least one item |
+| `skills_available` | array[string] | Must contain at least one item, all skills must exist in registry |
+| `reasoning_mode` | enum | Must be `iterative` or `oneshot` |
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Validation |
+|-------|------|---------|------------|
+| `status` | enum | `draft` | Must be `draft`, `active`, `deprecated`, or `archived` |
+| `context_requirements` | object | `{}` | Any valid object |
+| `workflow_pattern` | string | `null` | Any string |
+| `example_task` | string | `null` | Any string |
+| `error_handling` | object | `{}` | Any valid object |
+| `output` | object | `{}` | Any valid object |
+| `tags` | array[string] | `[]` | Array of strings |
+| `dependencies` | array[string] | `[]` | Array of strings |
+
+### Name Format
+
+Agent names must:
+- Start with a lowercase letter
+- Contain only lowercase letters, numbers, dots, hyphens, underscores
+- Follow pattern: `<domain>.<action>`
+
+**Valid**: `api.designer`, `compliance.checker`, `data-migrator`
+**Invalid**: `ApiDesigner`, `1agent`, `agent_name`
+
+### Version Format
+
+Versions must follow semantic versioning: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-prerelease]`
+
+**Valid**: `0.1.0`, `1.0.0`, `2.3.1-beta`, `1.0.0-rc.1`
+**Invalid**: `1.0`, `v1.0.0`, `1.0.0.0`
+
+### Reasoning Mode
+
+Must be one of:
+- `iterative`: Agent can retry with feedback and refine based on errors
+- `oneshot`: Agent executes once without retry
+
+### Skills Validation
+
+All skills in `skills_available` must exist in the skill registry (`/registry/skills.json`).
+
+## Response Format
+
+### Success Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "status": "success",
+  "errors": [],
+  "path": "agents/api.designer/agent.yaml",
+  "details": {
+    "valid": true,
+    "errors": [],
+    "path": "agents/api.designer/agent.yaml",
+    "manifest": {
+      "name": "api.designer",
+      "version": "0.1.0",
+      "description": "Design RESTful APIs...",
+      "capabilities": [...],
+      "skills_available": [...],
+      "reasoning_mode": "iterative"
+    },
+    "status": "registered",
+    "registry_updated": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Failure Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "status": "failed",
+  "errors": [
+    "Missing required fields: capabilities, skills_available",
+    "Invalid reasoning_mode: 'hybrid'. Must be one of: iterative, oneshot"
+  ],
+  "path": "agents/bad.agent/agent.yaml",
+  "details": {
+    "valid": false,
+    "errors": [
+      "Missing required fields: capabilities, skills_available",

+    ],
+    "path": "agents/bad.agent/agent.yaml"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Validate Iterative Agent
+
+**Agent Manifest** (`agents/api.designer/agent.yaml`):
+```yaml
+name: api.designer
+version: 0.1.0
+description: "Design RESTful APIs following enterprise guidelines"
+
+capabilities:
+  - Design RESTful APIs from requirements
+  - Apply Zalando guidelines automatically
+  - Generate OpenAPI 3.1 specs
+  - Iteratively refine based on validation feedback
+
+skills_available:
+  - api.define
+  - api.validate
+  - api.generate-models
+
+reasoning_mode: iterative
+
+status: draft
+
+tags:
+  - api
+  - design
+  - openapi
+```
+
+**Command**:
+```bash
+python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py agents/api.designer/agent.yaml
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "status": "success",
+  "errors": [],
+  "path": "agents/api.designer/agent.yaml",
+  "details": {
+    "valid": true,
+    "status": "registered",
+    "registry_updated": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Validation Errors
+
+**Agent Manifest** (`agents/bad.agent/agent.yaml`):
+```yaml
+name: BadAgent  # Invalid: must be lowercase
+version: 1.0   # Invalid: must be semver
+description: "Test agent"
+capabilities: []  # Invalid: must have at least one
+skills_available:
+  - nonexistent.skill  # Invalid: skill doesn't exist
+reasoning_mode: hybrid  # Invalid: must be iterative or oneshot
+```
+
+**Command**:
+```bash
+python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py agents/bad.agent/agent.yaml
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "status": "failed",
+  "errors": [
+    "Invalid name: Invalid agent name: 'BadAgent'. Must start with lowercase letter...",
+    "Invalid version: Invalid version: '1.0'. Must follow semantic versioning...",
+    "Invalid reasoning_mode: Invalid reasoning_mode: 'hybrid'. Must be one of: iterative, oneshot",
+    "capabilities must contain at least one item",
+    "Skills not found in registry: nonexistent.skill"
+  ],
+  "path": "agents/bad.agent/agent.yaml"
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Oneshot Agent
+
+**Agent Manifest** (`agents/api.analyzer/agent.yaml`):
+```yaml
+name: api.analyzer
+version: 0.1.0
+description: "Analyze API specifications for compatibility"
+
+capabilities:
+  - Detect breaking changes between API versions
+  - Generate compatibility reports
+  - Suggest migration paths
+
+skills_available:
+  - api.compatibility
+
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+
+output:
+  success:
+    - Compatibility report
+    - Breaking changes list
+  failure:
+    - Error analysis
+
+status: active
+
+tags:
+  - api
+  - analysis
+  - compatibility
+```
+
+**Command**:
+```bash
+python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py agents/api.analyzer/agent.yaml
+```
+
+**Result**: Agent validated and registered successfully.
+
+## Integration
+
+### With Registry
+
+The skill automatically updates `/registry/agents.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "registry_version": "1.0.0",
+  "generated_at": "2025-10-23T10:30:00Z",
+  "agents": [
+    {
+      "name": "api.designer",
+      "version": "0.1.0",
+      "description": "Design RESTful APIs following enterprise guidelines",
+      "reasoning_mode": "iterative",
+      "skills_available": ["api.define", "api.validate", "api.generate-models"],
+      "capabilities": ["Design RESTful APIs from requirements", ...],
+      "status": "draft",
+      "tags": ["api", "design", "openapi"],
+      "dependencies": []
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### With Other Skills
+
+- **Depends on**: `skill.define` (for skill registry validation)
+- **Used by**: Future `command.define` skill (to register commands that invoke agents)
+- **Complements**: `workflow.compose` (agents orchestrate skills; workflows execute fixed sequences)
+
+## Common Errors
+
+### Missing Skills in Registry
+
+**Error**:
+```
+Skills not found in registry: api.nonexistent, data.missing
+```
+
+**Solution**: Ensure all skills in `skills_available` are registered in `/registry/skills.json`. Check skill names for typos.
+
+### Invalid Reasoning Mode
+
+**Error**:
+```
+Invalid reasoning_mode: 'hybrid'. Must be one of: iterative, oneshot
+```
+
+**Solution**: Use `iterative` for agents that retry with feedback, or `oneshot` for deterministic execution.
+
+### Empty Capabilities
+
+**Error**:
+```
+capabilities must contain at least one item
+```
+
+**Solution**: Add at least one capability string describing what the agent can do.
+
+### Invalid Name Format
+
+**Error**:
+```
+Invalid agent name: 'API-Designer'. Must start with lowercase letter...
+```
+
+**Solution**: Use lowercase names following pattern `<domain>.<action>` (e.g., `api.designer`).
+
+## Development
+
+### Testing
+
+Create test agent manifests in `/agents/test/`:
+
+```bash
+# Create test directory
+mkdir -p agents/test.agent
+
+# Create minimal test manifest
+cat > agents/test.agent/agent.yaml << EOF
+name: test.agent
+version: 0.1.0
+description: "Test agent"
+capabilities:
+  - Test capability
+skills_available:
+  - skill.define
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+status: draft
+EOF
+
+# Validate
+python skills/agent.define/agent_define.py agents/test.agent/agent.yaml
+```
+
+### Registry Location
+
+- Skill registry: `/registry/skills.json` (read for validation)
+- Agent registry: `/registry/agents.json` (updated by this skill)

+# agent.run
+
+**Version:** 0.1.0
+**Status:** Active
+**Tags:** agents, execution, claude-api, orchestration, layer2
+
+## Overview
+
+The `agent.run` skill executes registered Betty agents by orchestrating the complete agent lifecycle: loading manifests, generating Claude-friendly prompts, invoking the Claude API (or simulating), executing planned skills, and logging all results.
+
+This skill is the primary execution engine for Betty agents, enabling them to operate in both **iterative** and **oneshot** reasoning modes. It handles the translation between agent manifests and Claude API calls, manages skill invocation, and provides comprehensive logging for auditability.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Load agent manifests from path or agent name
+- ✅ Generate Claude-optimized system prompts with capabilities and workflow patterns
+- ✅ Optional Claude API integration (with mock fallback for development)
+- ✅ Support for both iterative and oneshot reasoning modes
+- ✅ Skill selection and execution orchestration
+- ✅ Comprehensive execution logging to `agent_logs/<agent>_<timestamp>.json`
+- ✅ Structured JSON output for programmatic integration
+- ✅ Error handling with detailed diagnostics
+- ✅ Validation of agent manifests and available skills
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+
+```bash
+# Execute agent by name
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer
+
+# Execute with task context
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer "Design a REST API for user management"
+
+# Execute from manifest path
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py agents/api.designer/agent.yaml "Create authentication API"
+
+# Execute without saving logs
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer "Design API" --no-save-log
+```
+
+### As a Skill (Programmatic)
+
+```python
+import sys
+import os
+sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath("./"))
+
+from skills.agent.run.agent_run import run_agent
+
+# Execute agent
+result = run_agent(
+    agent_path="api.designer",
+    task_context="Design a REST API for user management with authentication",
+    save_log=True
+)
+
+if result["ok"]:
+    print(f"Agent executed successfully!")
+    print(f"Skills invoked: {result['details']['summary']['skills_executed']}")
+    print(f"Log saved to: {result['details']['log_path']}")
+else:
+    print(f"Execution failed: {result['errors']}")
+```
+
+### Via Claude Code Plugin
+
+```bash
+# Using the Betty plugin command
+/agent/run api.designer "Design authentication API"
+
+# With full path
+/agent/run agents/api.designer/agent.yaml "Create user management endpoints"
+```
+
+## Input Parameters

+}
+```
+
+## Reasoning Modes
+
+### Oneshot Mode
+
+In **oneshot** mode, the agent analyzes the complete task and plans all skill invocations upfront in a single pass. The execution follows the predetermined plan without dynamic adjustment.
+
+**Best for:**
+- Well-defined tasks with predictable workflows
+- Tasks where all steps can be determined in advance
+- Performance-critical scenarios requiring minimal API calls
+
+**Example Agent:**
+```yaml
+name: api.generator
+reasoning_mode: oneshot
+workflow_pattern: |
+  1. Define API structure
+  2. Validate specification
+  3. Generate models
+```
+
+### Iterative Mode
+
+In **iterative** mode, the agent analyzes results after each skill invocation and dynamically determines the next steps. It can retry failed operations, adjust its approach based on feedback, or invoke additional skills as needed.
+
+**Best for:**
+- Complex tasks requiring adaptive decision-making
+- Tasks with validation/refinement loops
+- Scenarios where results influence subsequent steps
+
+**Example Agent:**
+```yaml
+name: api.designer
+reasoning_mode: iterative
+workflow_pattern: |
+  1. Analyze requirements
+  2. Draft OpenAPI spec
+  3. Validate (if fails, refine and retry)
+  4. Generate models
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Execute API Designer
+
+```bash
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer \
+  "Create a REST API for managing blog posts with CRUD operations"

+```
+
+## Agent Manifest Requirements
+
+For `agent.run` to successfully execute an agent, the agent manifest must include:
+
+### Required Fields
+
+```yaml
+name: agent.name              # Must match pattern ^[a-z][a-z0-9._-]*$
+version: 0.1.0                # Semantic version
+description: "..."            # Clear description
+capabilities:                 # List of capabilities
+  - "Capability 1"
+  - "Capability 2"
+skills_available:            # List of Betty skills
+  - skill.name.1
+  - skill.name.2
+reasoning_mode: iterative    # 'iterative' or 'oneshot'
+```
+
+### Recommended Fields
+
+```yaml
+workflow_pattern: |          # Recommended workflow steps
+  1. Step 1
+  2. Step 2
+  3. Step 3
+
+context_requirements:        # Optional context hints
+  guidelines: string
+  domain: string
+
+error_handling:              # Error handling config
+  max_retries: 3
+  timeout_seconds: 300
+
+status: active               # Agent status (draft/active/deprecated)
+tags:                        # Categorization tags
+  - tag1
+  - tag2
+```
+
+## Claude API Integration
+
+The skill supports both real Claude API calls and mock simulation:
+
+### Real API Mode (Production)
+
+Set the `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer "Design API"
+```
+
+The skill will:
+1. Detect the API key
+2. Use the Anthropic Python SDK
+3. Call Claude 3.5 Sonnet with the constructed prompt
+4. Parse the structured JSON response
+5. Execute the skills based on Claude's plan
+
+### Mock Mode (Development)
+
+Without an API key, the skill generates intelligent mock responses:
+
+```bash
+python skills/agent.run/agent_run.py api.designer "Design API"
+```
+
+The skill will:
+1. Detect no API key
+2. Generate plausible skill selections based on agent type
+3. Simulate Claude's reasoning
+4. Execute skills with simulated outputs
+
+## Execution Logging
+
+All agent executions are logged to `agent_logs/<agent>_<timestamp>.json` with:
+
+- **Timestamp**: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
+- **Agent Info**: Name, version, description, mode, status
+- **Task Context**: User-provided task or query
+- **Prompt**: Complete Claude system prompt
+- **Skills Available**: Registered skills with metadata
+- **Missing Skills**: Skills referenced but not found
+- **Claude Response**: Full API response or mock
+- **Execution Results**: Output from each skill invocation
+- **Summary**: Counts, success status, timing
+
+### Log File Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2025-10-23T14:30:00Z",
+  "agent": { /* agent metadata */ },
+  "task_context": "Design API for...",
+  "prompt": "You are api.designer...",
+  "skills_available": [ /* skill info */ ],
+  "missing_skills": [],
+  "claude_response": { /* Claude's plan */ },
+  "execution_results": [ /* skill outputs */ ],
+  "summary": {
+    "skills_planned": 3,
+    "skills_executed": 3,
+    "success": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Accessing Logs
+
+```bash
+# View latest log for an agent
+cat agent_logs/api.designer_latest.json | jq '.'
+
+# View specific execution
+cat agent_logs/api.designer_20251023_143000.json | jq '.summary'
+
+# List all logs for an agent
+ls -lt agent_logs/api.designer_*.json
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Errors
+
+**Agent Not Found**
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "status": "failed",
+  "errors": ["Agent not found: my.agent"],
+  "details": {
+    "error": {
+      "type": "BettyError",
+      "message": "Agent not found: my.agent",
+      "details": {
+        "agent_path": "my.agent",
+        "expected_path": "/home/user/betty/agents/my.agent/agent.yaml",
+        "suggestion": "Use 'betty agent list' to see available agents"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Invalid Agent Manifest**
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "errors": ["Agent manifest missing required fields: reasoning_mode, capabilities"],
+  "details": {
+    "error": {
+      "type": "BettyError",
+      "details": {
+        "missing_fields": ["reasoning_mode", "capabilities"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Skill Not Found**
+- The execution continues but logs missing skills in `missing_skills` array
+- Warning logged for each missing skill
+- Agent may not function as intended if critical skills are missing
+
+### Debugging Tips
+
+1. **Check agent manifest**: Validate with `betty agent validate <agent_path>`
+2. **Verify skills**: Ensure all `skills_available` are registered
+3. **Review logs**: Check `agent_logs/<agent>_latest.json` for details
+4. **Enable debug logging**: Set `BETTY_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG`
+5. **Test with mock mode**: Remove API key to test workflow logic
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Agent Design
+
+- Define clear, specific capabilities in agent manifests
+- Choose appropriate reasoning mode for the task complexity
+- Provide detailed workflow patterns to guide Claude
+- Include context requirements for optimal prompts
+
+### 2. Task Context
+
+- Provide specific, actionable task descriptions
+- Include relevant domain context when needed
+- Reference specific requirements or constraints
+- Use examples to clarify ambiguous requests
+
+### 3. Logging
+
+- Keep logs enabled for production (default: `save_log=true`)
+- Review logs regularly for debugging and auditing
+- Archive old logs periodically to manage disk space
+- Use log summaries to track agent performance
+
+### 4. Error Recovery
+
+- In iterative mode, agents can retry failed skills
+- Review error details in logs for root cause analysis
+- Validate agent manifests before deployment
+- Test with mock mode before using real API calls
+
+### 5. Performance
+
+- Use oneshot mode for predictable, fast execution
+- Cache agent manifests when running repeatedly
+- Monitor Claude API usage and costs
+- Consider skill execution time when designing workflows
+
+## Integration with Betty Framework
+
+### Skill Dependencies
+
+`agent.run` depends on:
+- **agent.define**: For creating agent manifests
+- **Skill registry**: For validating available skills
+- **Betty configuration**: For paths and settings
+
+### Plugin Integration
+
+The skill is registered in `plugin.yaml` as:
+```yaml
+- name: agent/run
+  description: Execute a registered Betty agent
+  handler:
+    runtime: python
+    script: skills/agent.run/agent_run.py
+  parameters:
+    - name: agent_path
+      type: string
+      required: true
+```
+
+This enables Claude Code to invoke agents directly:
+```
+User: "Run the API designer agent to create a user management API"
+Claude: [Invokes /agent/run api.designer "create user management API"]
+```
+

+## Overview
+
+Detect breaking changes between API specification versions to maintain backward compatibility.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.compatibility/check_compatibility.py <old_spec> <new_spec> [options]
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+```bash
+# Check compatibility
+python skills/api.compatibility/check_compatibility.py \
+  specs/user-service-v1.openapi.yaml \
+  specs/user-service-v2.openapi.yaml
+
+# Human-readable output
+python skills/api.compatibility/check_compatibility.py \
+  specs/user-service-v1.openapi.yaml \
+  specs/user-service-v2.openapi.yaml \
+  --format=human
+```
+
+## Breaking Changes Detected
+
+- **path_removed**: Endpoint removed
+- **operation_removed**: HTTP method removed
+- **schema_removed**: Model schema removed
+- **property_removed**: Schema property removed
+- **property_made_required**: Optional property now required
+- **property_type_changed**: Property type changed
+
+## Non-Breaking Changes
+
+- **path_added**: New endpoint
+- **operation_added**: New HTTP method
+- **schema_added**: New model schema
+- **property_added**: New optional property
+
+## Version
+
+**0.1.0** - Initial implementation

+# api.define
+
+## Overview
+
+**api.define** scaffolds OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications from enterprise-compliant templates, generating production-ready API contracts with best practices built-in.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Quickly create API specifications that follow enterprise guidelines:
+- Generate Zalando-compliant OpenAPI 3.1 specs
+- Generate AsyncAPI 3.0 specs for event-driven APIs
+- Include proper error handling (RFC 7807 Problem JSON)
+- Use correct naming conventions (snake_case)
+- Include required metadata and security schemes
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.define/api_define.py <service_name> [spec_type] [options]
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description | Default |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `service_name` | Yes | Service/API name | - |
+| `spec_type` | No | openapi or asyncapi | `openapi` |
+| `--template` | No | Template name | `zalando` |
+| `--output-dir` | No | Output directory | `specs` |
+| `--version` | No | API version | `1.0.0` |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Create Zalando-Compliant OpenAPI Spec
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.define/api_define.py user-service openapi --template=zalando
+```
+
+**Output**: `specs/user-service.openapi.yaml`
+
+Generated spec includes:
+- ✅ Required Zalando metadata (`x-api-id`, `x-audience`)
+- ✅ CRUD operations for users resource
+- ✅ RFC 7807 Problem JSON for errors
+- ✅ snake_case property names
+- ✅ X-Flow-ID headers for tracing
+- ✅ Proper HTTP status codes
+- ✅ JWT authentication scheme
+
+### Example 2: Create AsyncAPI Spec
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.define/api_define.py user-service asyncapi
+```
+
+**Output**: `specs/user-service.asyncapi.yaml`
+
+Generated spec includes:
+- ✅ Lifecycle events (created, updated, deleted)
+- ✅ Kafka channel definitions
+- ✅ Event payload schemas
+- ✅ Publish/subscribe operations
+
+### Example 3: Custom Output Directory
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.define/api_define.py order-api openapi \
+  --output-dir=api-specs \
+  --version=2.0.0
+```
+
+## Generated OpenAPI Structure
+
+For a service named `user-service`, the generated OpenAPI spec includes:
+
+**Paths**:
+- `GET /users` - List users with pagination
+- `POST /users` - Create new user
+- `GET /users/{user_id}` - Get user by ID
+- `PUT /users/{user_id}` - Update user
+- `DELETE /users/{user_id}` - Delete user
+
+**Schemas**:
+- `User` - Main resource schema
+- `UserCreate` - Creation payload schema
+- `UserUpdate` - Update payload schema
+- `Pagination` - Pagination metadata
+- `Problem` - RFC 7807 error schema
+
+**Responses**:
+- `200` - Success (with X-Flow-ID header)
+- `201` - Created (with Location and X-Flow-ID headers)
+- `204` - No Content (for deletes)
+- `400` - Bad Request (application/problem+json)
+- `404` - Not Found (application/problem+json)
+- `409` - Conflict (application/problem+json)
+- `500` - Internal Error (application/problem+json)
+
+**Security**:
+- Bearer token authentication (JWT)
+
+**Required Metadata**:
+- `x-api-id` - Unique UUID
+- `x-audience` - Target audience (company-internal)
+- `contact` - Team contact information
+
+## Resource Name Extraction
+
+The skill automatically extracts resource names from service names:
+
+| Service Name | Resource | Plural |
+|--------------|----------|--------|
+| `user-service` | user | users |
+| `order-api` | order | orders |
+| `payment-gateway` | payment | payments |
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+The skill automatically applies proper naming:
+
+| Context | Convention | Example |
+|---------|------------|---------|
+| Paths | kebab-case | `/user-profiles` |
+| Properties | snake_case | `user_id` |
+| Schemas | TitleCase | `UserProfile` |
+| Operations | camelCase | `getUserById` |
+
+## Integration with api.validate
+
+The generated specs are designed to pass `api.validate` with zero errors:
+
+```bash
+# Generate spec
+python skills/api.define/api_define.py user-service
+
+# Validate (should pass)
+python skills/api.validate/api_validate.py specs/user-service.openapi.yaml zalando
+```
+
+## Use in Workflows
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/api_first_development.yaml
+steps:
+  - skill: api.define
+    args:
+      - "user-service"
+      - "openapi"
+      - "--template=zalando"
+    output: spec_path
+
+  - skill: api.validate
+    args:
+      - "{spec_path}"
+      - "zalando"
+    required: true
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+After generation, customize the spec:
+
+1. **Add properties** to schemas:
+```yaml
+User:
+  properties:
+    user_id: ...
+    email:          # Add this
+      type: string
+      format: email
+```
+
+2. **Add operations**:
+```yaml
+/users/search:      # Add new endpoint
+  post:
+    summary: Search users
+```
+
+3. **Modify metadata**:
+```yaml
+info:
+  contact:
+    name: Your Team Name    # Update this
+    email: team@company.com
+```
+
+## Output
+
+### Success Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "success",
+  "data": {
+    "spec_path": "specs/user-service.openapi.yaml",
+    "spec_content": {...},
+    "api_id": "d0184f38-b98d-11e7-9c56-68f728c1ba70",
+    "template_used": "zalando",
+    "service_name": "user-service"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **PyYAML**: Required for YAML handling
+  ```bash
+  pip install pyyaml
+  ```
+
+## Templates
+
+| Template | Spec Type | Description |
+|----------|-----------|-------------|
+| `zalando` | OpenAPI | Zalando-compliant with all required fields |
+| `basic` | AsyncAPI | Basic event-driven API structure |

+# api.generate-models
+
+## Overview
+
+**api.generate-models** generates type-safe models from OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications, enabling shared models between frontend and backend using code generation.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Transform API specifications into type-safe code:
+- Generate TypeScript interfaces from OpenAPI schemas
+- Generate Python dataclasses/Pydantic models
+- Generate Java classes, Go structs, C# classes
+- Single source of truth: the API specification
+- Automatic synchronization when specs change
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py <spec_path> <language> [options]
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description | Default |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `spec_path` | Yes | Path to API spec file | - |
+| `language` | Yes | Target language | - |
+| `--output-dir` | No | Output directory | `src/models` |
+| `--package-name` | No | Package/module name | - |
+
+### Supported Languages
+
+| Language | Extension | Status |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| `typescript` | `.ts` | ✅ Supported |
+| `python` | `.py` | ✅ Supported |
+| `java` | `.java` | 🚧 Planned |
+| `go` | `.go` | 🚧 Planned |
+| `csharp` | `.cs` | 🚧 Planned |
+| `rust` | `.rs` | 🚧 Planned |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Generate TypeScript Models
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+  specs/user-service.openapi.yaml \
+  typescript \
+  --output-dir=src/models/user-service
+```
+
+**Generated files**:
+```
+src/models/user-service/
+├── User.ts
+├── UserCreate.ts
+├── UserUpdate.ts
+├── Pagination.ts
+└── Problem.ts
+```
+
+**Example TypeScript output**:
+```typescript
+// src/models/user-service/User.ts
+export interface User {
+  /** Unique identifier */
+  user_id: string;
+  /** Creation timestamp */
+  created_at: string;
+  /** Last update timestamp */
+  updated_at?: string;
+}
+
+// src/models/user-service/Pagination.ts
+export interface Pagination {
+  /** Number of items per page */
+  limit: number;
+  /** Number of items skipped */
+  offset: number;
+  /** Total number of items available */
+  total: number;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Generate Python Models
+
+```bash
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+  specs/user-service.openapi.yaml \
+  python \
+  --output-dir=src/models/user_service
+```
+
+**Generated files**:
+```
+src/models/user_service/
+└── models.py
+```
+
+**Example Python output**:
+```python
+# src/models/user_service/models.py
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+from typing import Optional
+from datetime import datetime
+from uuid import UUID
+
+class User(BaseModel):
+    """User model"""
+    user_id: UUID = Field(..., description="Unique identifier")
+    created_at: datetime = Field(..., description="Creation timestamp")
+    updated_at: Optional[datetime] = Field(None, description="Last update timestamp")
+
+class Pagination(BaseModel):
+    """Pagination metadata"""
+    limit: int = Field(..., description="Number of items per page")
+    offset: int = Field(..., description="Number of items skipped")
+    total: int = Field(..., description="Total number of items available")
+```
+
+### Example 3: Generate for Multiple Languages
+
+```bash
+# TypeScript for frontend
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+  specs/user-service.openapi.yaml \
+  typescript \
+  --output-dir=frontend/src/models
+
+# Python for backend
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+  specs/user-service.openapi.yaml \
+  python \
+  --output-dir=backend/app/models
+```
+
+## Code Generators Used
+
+The skill uses multiple code generation approaches:
+
+### 1. datamodel-code-generator (Primary)
+
+**Best for**: OpenAPI specs → Python/TypeScript
+**Installation**: `pip install datamodel-code-generator`
+
+Generates:
+- Python: Pydantic v2 models with type hints
+- TypeScript: Type-safe interfaces
+- Validates schema during generation
+
+### 2. Simple Built-in Generator (Fallback)
+
+**Best for**: Basic models when external tools not available
+**Installation**: None required
+
+Generates:
+- Python: dataclasses
+- TypeScript: interfaces
+- Basic but reliable
+
+### 3. Modelina (Future)
+
+**Best for**: AsyncAPI specs, multiple languages
+**Installation**: `npm install -g @asyncapi/modelina`
+**Status**: Planned
+
+## Output
+
+### Success Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "success",
+  "data": {
+    "models_path": "src/models/user-service",
+    "files_generated": [
+      "src/models/user-service/User.ts",
+      "src/models/user-service/UserCreate.ts",
+      "src/models/user-service/Pagination.ts",
+      "src/models/user-service/Problem.ts"
+    ],
+    "model_count": 4,
+    "generator_used": "datamodel-code-generator"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Integration with Workflows
+
+```yaml
+# workflows/api_first_development.yaml
+steps:
+  - skill: api.define
+    args:
+      - "user-service"
+      - "openapi"
+    output: spec_path
+
+  - skill: api.validate
+    args:
+      - "{spec_path}"
+      - "zalando"
+    required: true
+
+  - skill: api.generate-models
+    args:
+      - "{spec_path}"
+      - "typescript"
+      - "--output-dir=frontend/src/models"
+
+  - skill: api.generate-models
+    args:
+      - "{spec_path}"
+      - "python"
+      - "--output-dir=backend/app/models"
+```
+
+## Integration with Hooks
+
+Auto-regenerate models when specs change:
+
+```bash
+python skills/hook.define/hook_define.py \
+  on_file_save \
+  "python betty/skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py {file_path} typescript --output-dir=src/models" \
+  --pattern="specs/*.openapi.yaml" \
+  --blocking=false \
+  --description="Auto-regenerate TypeScript models when OpenAPI specs change"
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+### For Developers
+- ✅ **Type safety**: Catch errors at compile time, not runtime
+- ✅ **IDE autocomplete**: Full IntelliSense/autocomplete support
+- ✅ **No manual typing**: Models generated automatically
+- ✅ **Always in sync**: Regenerate when spec changes
+
+### For Teams
+- ✅ **Single source of truth**: API spec defines types
+- ✅ **Frontend/backend alignment**: Same types everywhere
+- ✅ **Reduced errors**: Type mismatches caught early
+- ✅ **Faster development**: No manual model creation
+
+### For Organizations
+- ✅ **Consistency**: All services use same model generation
+- ✅ **Maintainability**: Update spec → regenerate → done
+- ✅ **Documentation**: Types are self-documenting
+- ✅ **Quality**: Generated code is tested and reliable
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Required
+- **PyYAML**: For YAML parsing (`pip install pyyaml`)

+### Optional (Better Output)
+- **datamodel-code-generator**: For high-quality Python/TypeScript (`pip install datamodel-code-generator`)
+- **Node.js + Modelina**: For AsyncAPI and more languages (`npm install -g @asyncapi/modelina`)
+
+## Examples with Real Specs
+
+Using the user-service spec from Phase 1:
+
+```bash
+# Generate TypeScript
+python skills/api.generate-models/modelina_generate.py \
+  specs/user-service.openapi.yaml \
+  typescript
+
+# Output:
+{
+  "status": "success",
+  "data": {
+    "models_path": "src/models",
+    "files_generated": [
+      "src/models/User.ts",
+      "src/models/UserCreate.ts",
+      "src/models/UserUpdate.ts",
+      "src/models/Pagination.ts",
+      "src/models/Problem.ts"
+    ],
+    "model_count": 5
+  }
+}
+```

+
+Test REST API endpoints by executing HTTP requests and validating responses against expected outcomes
+
+## Overview
+
+**Purpose:** Test REST API endpoints by executing HTTP requests and validating responses against expected outcomes
+
+**Command:** `/api/test`
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+python3 skills/api/test/api_test.py
+```
+
+### With Arguments
+
+```bash
+python3 skills/api/test/api_test.py \
+  --api_spec_path "value" \
+  --base_url "value" \
+  --test_scenarios_path_(optional) "value" \
+  --auth_config_path_(optional) "value" \
+  --output-format json
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+- **api_spec_path**
+- **base_url**
+- **test_scenarios_path (optional)**
+- **auth_config_path (optional)**
+
+## Outputs
+
+- **test_results.json**
+- **test_report.html**
+
+## Artifact Metadata
+
+### Produces
+
+- `test-result`
+- `test-report`
+
+## Permissions
+
+- `network:http`
+- `filesystem:read`
+- `filesystem:write`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Support multiple HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS Test scenarios should validate: - Response status codes - Response headers - Response body structure and content - Response time/performance - Authentication/authorization - Error handling Features: - Load test scenarios from OpenAPI/Swagger specs - Support various authentication methods (Bearer, Basic, API Key, OAuth2) - Execute tests in sequence or parallel - Generate detailed HTML reports with pass/fail visualization - Support environment variables for configuration - Retry failed tests with exponential backoff - Collect performance metrics (response time, throughput) Output should include: - Total tests run - Passed/failed counts - Individual test results with request/response details - Performance statistics - Coverage metrics (% of endpoints tested)
+
+## Integration
+
+This skill can be used in agents by including it in `skills_available`:
+
+```yaml
+name: my.agent
+skills_available:
+  - api.test
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests with:
+
+```bash
+pytest skills/api/test/test_api_test.py -v
+```
+
+## Created By
+
+This skill was generated by **meta.skill**, the skill creator meta-agent.
