Details
From the project READMEAntV Skills Maintainer
This skill ensures that all documentation and configuration files remain in sync whenever a skill is added or updated in this repository.
Important
The antv-skills-maintainer skill is internal-only — it is used solely for this repository's iteration workflow. Do not add it to README.md "Available Skills" or .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Only user-facing skills should appear in those files.
When to Apply
Apply this skill automatically after every code change — especially when:
- A new skill directory is added under
skills/ - An existing skill's
SKILL.mdis modified (name, description, capabilities) - A skill is removed or deprecated
What to Keep in Sync
1. README.md — "Available Skills" Section
The ## Available Skills section in README.md must list every skill under skills/ with:
- An appropriate emoji icon
- The skill name (bold, matching the directory name)
- A one-line description matching the skill's
SKILL.mdfrontmatterdescriptionfield - A short paragraph elaborating on the skill's capabilities
Format:
- 🔧 **skill-name**: One-line description from SKILL.md frontmatter.
`Skill Display Name` elaboration paragraph...
Steps:
- Scan
skills/directory to list all available skills. - Read each skill's
SKILL.mdfrontmatter (name,description). - Compare with the current
## Available Skillssection inREADME.md. - Add entries for new skills, update entries for changed skills, remove entries for deleted skills.
- Preserve the section's existing formatting style.
2. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — Plugins Array
The plugins array in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json must contain an entry for every skill under skills/.
Entry format:
{
"name": "skill-name",
"description": "Description from SKILL.md frontmatter.",
"source": "./",
"strict": false,
"skills": [
"./skills/skill-name"
]
}
Steps:
- Scan
skills/directory to list all available skills. - Read each skill's
SKILL.mdfrontmatter (name,description). - Compare with the current
pluginsarray in.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. - Add entries for new skills, update
descriptionfor changed skills, remove entries for deleted skills. - Keep the JSON properly formatted and valid.
