SKILL-021: Skill Gap Identifier

Overview

A meta-skill for system evolution. It transforms "I wish I could do X" into a concrete plan for "Method X" by scaffolding the directory structure, metadata, and templates for a new skill. This ensures the system evolves structurally rather than relying on ad-hoc scripts.

Trigger Phrases

• create skill
• new capability
• missing tool
• scaffold skill
