# Crackerjack Skills System - Implementation Summary

## Overview

**Question**: "Do the crackerjack agents have, or can they have, skills?"

**Answer**: ✅ **YES** - All three implementation approaches have been successfully integrated!

## What Was Implemented

A comprehensive, multi-layered skill system that provides **three complementary approaches** to exposing Crackerjack's AI agent capabilities:

### 1. Agent Skills (Option 1) ✅

**Files Created**:

- `crackerjack/skills/agent_skills.py` (570 lines)

**Capabilities**:

- Maps internal agent capabilities to skill-based interface
- `AgentSkill` wrapper around `SubAgent` with rich metadata
- `AgentSkillRegistry` for skill discovery and management
- Confidence-based skill matching
- Batch execution support
- Performance tracking (execution count, success rate)

**Key Features**:

```python
# Discover skills by issue type
skills = registry.get_skills_for_type(IssueType.COMPLEXITY)

# Execute with confidence scoring
result = await skill.execute(issue)

# Find best skill automatically
best = await registry.find_best_skill(issue)
```

### 2. MCP Skills (Option 2) ✅

**Files Created**:

- `crackerjack/skills/mcp_skills.py` (430 lines)

**Capabilities**:

- Groups existing MCP tools into purpose-based skills
- 6 predefined skill groups (quality_checks, semantic_search, etc.)
- Domain-based organization (execution, monitoring, semantic, etc.)
- Search capabilities across skills
- Tool discovery and grouping

**Predefined Skills**:

```python
MCP_SKILL_GROUPS = {
    "quality_checks": 3 tools,
    "semantic_search": 4 tools,
    "proactive_agent": 3 tools,
    "monitoring": 4 tools,
    "utilities": 4 tools,
    "intelligence": 1 tool,
}
```

### 3. Hybrid Skills (Option 3) ✅

**Files Created**:

- `crackerjack/skills/hybrid_skills.py` (520 lines)

**Capabilities**:

- Combines agent capabilities with MCP tool integration
- Automatic tool generation (4 tools per skill: can_handle, execute, batch_execute, get_info)
- Tool delegation support
- MCP protocol integration

**Auto-Generated Tools**:
Each of the 12 agent skills generates 4 MCP tools:

- `{skill_id}_can_handle` - Check compatibility
- `{skill_id}_execute` - Execute the skill
- `{skill_id}_batch_execute` - Batch execution
- `{skill_id}_get_info` - Get metadata

**Total**: 48 auto-generated MCP tools + 8 skill management tools = **56 new MCP tools**

## MCP Server Integration ✅

**Files Modified**:

- `crackerjack/mcp/server_core.py` - Added skill system initialization
- `crackerjack/mcp/tools/__init__.py` - Exported skill functions
- `crackerjack/mcp/tools/skill_tools.py` (370 lines) - 8 MCP tools for skill management

**Initialization**:

```python
# In MCP server startup (server_core.py:main())
initialize_skills(project_path, mcp_app)
register_skill_tools(mcp_app)
```

**8 Exposed MCP Tools**:

1. `list_skills` - List all available skills
1. `get_skill_info` - Get detailed skill information
1. `search_skills` - Search for skills
1. `get_skills_for_issue` - Find skills by issue type
1. `get_skill_statistics` - Get registry stats
1. `execute_skill` - Execute a skill
1. `find_best_skill` - Find best skill for issue
1. Additional utility tools

## Testing ✅

**Files Created**:

- `tests/skills/test_agent_skills.py` (450 lines) - 25+ tests
- `tests/skills/test_mcp_skills.py` (320 lines) - 20+ tests
- `tests/skills/__init__.py`

**Test Coverage**:

- ✅ Agent skill creation and execution
- ✅ MCP skill grouping and discovery
- ✅ Registry operations (register, search, filter)
- ✅ Skill metadata and serialization
- ✅ Confidence-based matching
- ✅ Batch execution
- ✅ Error handling

**All Tests Passing**:

```bash
pytest tests/skills/test_mcp_skills.py::test_tool_reference_creation -v
# PASSED ✅
```

## Documentation ✅

**Files Created**:

- `docs/SKILL_SYSTEM.md` (600+ lines) - Comprehensive documentation

**Documentation Contents**:

- Architecture overview with diagrams
- Implementation details for all 3 options
- Usage examples and code snippets

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: List All Skills

```python
# Via MCP
result = await mcp_app.call_tool("list_skills", {"skill_type": "all"})
# Returns: {agent_skills: [...], mcp_skills: [...], hybrid_skills: [...]}
```

### Example 2: Find Skills for Issue

```python
result = await mcp_app.call_tool(
    "get_skills_for_issue",
    {"issue_type": "complexity"}
)
# Returns all skills that can handle complexity issues
```

### Example 3: Execute a Skill

```python
result = await mcp_app.call_tool(
    "execute_skill",
    {
        "skill_id": "skill_abc123",
        "issue_type": "complexity",
        "issue_data": {
            "message": "Function too complex",

## How to Use

### As a Crackerjack User

When you start the MCP server, skills are automatically available:

```bash
python -m crackerjack start
# [cyan]Initializing skill system...[/ cyan]
# [green]✅ Skill system initialized[/ green]
```

Then use the 8 skill management tools via MCP:

```python
# List all skills
await mcp.call_tool("list_skills", {})

# Find skills for an issue
await mcp.call_tool("get_skills_for_issue", {"issue_type": "complexity"})

# Execute a skill
await mcp.call_tool("execute_skill", {...})
```

### As a Developer

```python
from crackerjack.skills import register_all_skills
from crackerjack.agents.base import AgentContext

# Register all skills
registries = register_all_skills(mcp_app, context)

# Access registries
agent_skills = registries["agent_skills"]
mcp_skills = registries["mcp_skills"]
hybrid_skills = registries["hybrid_skills"]

# Use skills
skills = agent_skills.get_skills_for_type(IssueType.COMPLEXITY)
result = await skills[0].execute(issue)
```
