# birdview-compatibility

Checks installed skills for duplicate names, over-broad triggers and instruction conflicts. Manual invocation only, and it changes nothing.

## What it does

The skill builds an inventory of the skills you have installed and looks for trouble: repeated names, triggers that fire on almost anything, task areas that overlap. It runs through `node <skill-root>/scripts/birdview.mjs skills audit --project <project-root> --language en --write <project-root>/.birdview/compatibility-audit.json`. You must pass `--language` yourself, since the CLI cannot tell what language the conversation is in.

Inventory alone is not the audit. The command returns JSON with two layers: facts (`skills`, `duplicateNames`, `issues`) and a required human conclusion (`assessment`). In the same turn the skill reads every `SKILL.md` it found and compares names, trigger descriptions, explicit invocation requirements, automatic invocation policy, `disable-model-invocation`, write permissions and approval gates. It then writes the assessment against the report contract and renders Markdown on a second pass of the command.

The report is plain text. For each pair with overlapping trigger scope it states whether the skills are compatible, need ordering, may conflict or stay unresolved, along with confidence, rationale, quoted evidence and a recommended execution order. A relationship stays unresolved only when the skill bodies or host rules cannot be read.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Qiuner/birdview --skill compatibility-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/compatibility-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Qiuner/birdview --skill compatibility-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Qiuner/birdview --skill compatibility-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Qiuner/birdview compatibility-audit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Qiuner/birdview --skill compatibility-audit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Qiuner/birdview --path compatibility-audit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Qiuner/birdview --skill compatibility-audit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Qiuner/birdview/tree/HEAD/compatibility-audit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- spot skills that share the same name
- flag triggers broad enough to catch every task
- sort out two skills whose task areas overlap
- work out the order for skills that interfere with each other
- get a written report on the state of your skill setup

## Example prompts
- Run birdview-compatibility and check my installed skills for duplicate names
- Audit skill compatibility in this project and write the report to `.birdview/compatibility-audit.md`
- Check whether any skills with automatic activation conflict

# Birdview skills audit

[中文](SKILL.zh.md)

Run the read-only inventory from the installed Birdview bundle:

```sh
node <skill-root>/scripts/birdview.mjs skills audit --project <project-root> --language en --write <project-root>/.birdview/compatibility-audit.json
```

Set `--language` to the language of the current user conversation (`zh` for Chinese, `en` for English); the CLI cannot infer conversation language by itself. Always pass it when producing the human-readable Markdown report.

The JSON is deliberately two-layered. `skills`, `duplicateNames` and `issues` are inventory facts; `assessment` is the required human conclusion. Inventory is not the finished audit. In the same turn, read every discovered `SKILL.md` and compare at least names, trigger descriptions, explicit invocation requirements, automatic invocation policy, `disable-model-invocation`, write permissions and approval gates. Then write the assessment using [the report contract](references/report-contract.md) and render both artifacts:

```sh
node <skill-root>/scripts/birdview.mjs skills audit --project <project-root> --language en --assessment <project-root>/.birdview/compatibility-assessment.json --write <project-root>/.birdview/compatibility-audit.json --write-markdown <project-root>/.birdview/compatibility-audit.md
```

The Markdown report is for people: every pair with overlapping trigger scope must state the triggering language, whether the skills are compatible, need ordering, may conflict or remain unresolved, with confidence, rationale, quoted evidence and a recommended execution order. Keep a relationship unresolved only when the bodies or host rules cannot be read; do not leave an empty unreviewed report merely because the inventory succeeded.
