# Pattern-Based Skill Invocation - Implementation Verification

## ✅ Implementation Complete

Pattern-based skill invocation has been successfully implemented and tested.

## 🎯 Architecture Overview

```
User Message: "please /commit and /mr these changes"
        ↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 1: Pattern Detection (pattern-matcher.ts)       │
│ - Regex scan: /(?<![:\w])\/([a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,49})/  │
│ - Extract: [{ name: 'commit' }, { name: 'mr' }]      │
│ - Exclude built-ins: /help, /clear, etc.             │
│ - Deduplicate: /mr /mr → /mr                         │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        ↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 2: Load Skills (SkillManager.getSkillsByNames) │
│ - Discovery: Scan .codemie/skills/                   │
│ - Load SKILL.md: Parse metadata + content            │
│ - Build inventory: Scan for .md, .sh, .js, etc.      │
│ - Format: Create injection-ready content             │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        ↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 3: Inject SystemMessage (agent.chatStream)      │
│ - Create SystemMessage with skill content            │
│ - Include file inventory (paths only)                │
│ - Add to conversation history before user message    │
│ - Priority guidance for LLM                          │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        ↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 4: LLM Processing (with skills context)         │
│ - Receives: Skill guidance + file inventory          │
│ - Can use Read tool for on-demand file access        │
│ - Follows skill workflow and best practices          │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

## 🧪 Test Results

### Unit Tests (43 tests)

**Pattern Matcher (33 tests)** - All Passing ✅
- Single pattern detection: `/mr`
- Multiple patterns: `/commit and /mr`
- Mid-sentence: `ensure you can /commit this`
- Arguments: `/commit -m "fix bug"`
- Built-in exclusions: `/help`, `/clear`, `/exit`, etc.
- Name validation: lowercase, hyphens, numbers
- Deduplication: `/mr /mr` → single pattern

**Content Loader (10 tests)** - All Passing ✅
- Load skill with inventory
- Handle missing directories
- Exclude: hidden files, node_modules, SKILL.md
- Include: .md, .sh, .js, .ts, .py, .json, .yaml
- Subdirectory scanning
- Alphabetical sorting
- Permission error handling

### Integration Tests (10 tests)

**Pattern Invocation Flow** - All Passing ✅
1. Single skill injection
2. Multiple skills (2+)
3. Non-existent skills (graceful)
4. Mixed valid/invalid
5. Built-in exclusion
6. Deduplication
7. File inventory with subdirectories
8. Pattern arguments
9. Minimal skill (no files)
10. Direct loading

**Total: 53 new tests, 100% passing**

## 📊 Live Demo Results

### Test 1: Single Pattern
```
Input:  "please /commit these changes"
Output: ✅ Detected: commit
        ✅ Loaded: commit skill
        ✅ Inventory: 0 files
```

### Test 2: Multiple Patterns
```
Input:  "please /commit and then /mr"
Output: ✅ Detected: commit, mr
        ✅ Loaded: commit, mr skills
        ✅ Inventory: 2 files (mr skill)
```

### Test 3: Mid-Sentence Pattern
```
Input:  "ensure you can /mr this work"
Output: ✅ Detected: mr at position 15
        ✅ Arguments: "this work"
        ✅ Loaded: mr skill
        ✅ Content: 9290 chars injected
```

### Test 4: Built-in Exclusion
```
Input:  "/help me with this"
Output: ✅ Detected: none (correctly excluded)
```

### Test 5: Deduplication
```
Input:  "/mr and then /mr again"
Output: ✅ Detected: mr (deduplicated from 2 to 1)
        ✅ Pattern count: 1
```

## 🎯 Three-Tier Progressive Loading

### Tier 1: Startup (Always Active)
- Load: Skill metadata only (name, description)
- Size: ~100 bytes per skill
- Use: Display in `codemie skill list`

### Tier 2: Pattern Detected (On /skill-name)
- Load: Full SKILL.md + file inventory
- Size: ~5-10KB per skill
- Use: Inject as SystemMessage for LLM guidance

### Tier 3: On-Demand (LLM uses Read tool)
- Load: Specific reference files
- Size: ~10KB per file
- Use: LLM decides when to access additional context

**Token Efficiency:**
- Without file inventory: 20KB upfront for all files
- With file inventory: 5KB + 10KB only if needed = 15KB max
- Savings: 25% reduction, more if files not accessed
