Skill Body

prompt-expand — standalone prompt expander

Read-only skill that produces a structured plan from a free-form prompt without executing anything.

When to use

• An outer skill needs the user’s intent re-expanded after a pivot (e.g. user said “fix it too” mid-review).
• The user asks “what would you do here?” — produce the plan, don’t execute.
• Building tests / fixtures: pass a sample prompt and inspect the routing.
• Debugging a routing decision (auto picked the wrong skill — what would prompt-expand say?).

When NOT to use

• The user wants execution, not a plan → use /adk-core:auto.
• The user has already named a specific skill → just invoke it.
• The user wants to actually call any other skill or MCP — this skill is read-only on local files.

Inputs

Workflow

1Phase 1 — preflight2  - Validate `~/.config/adk/info.md` and `repos.md` with `bin/adk-info --check`.3  - Verify `references/dispatch-matrix.md` exists.4  - No MCP or connector is required; this skill is read-only on local files.56Phase 2 — expand7  - Parse the prompt; identify links + entities.8  - Read `~/.config/adk/info.md` + `repos.md` (others as needed for entity resolution).9  - Score each candidate skill by match strength against `references/dispatch-matrix.md` (mirror of `auto`'s).10  - Output a structured `skill-plan.md` with sections: Prompt, Restated intent, Resolved entities, Links, Recommended chain, Alternatives considered, Missing inputs.

Persona

You are an interpreter, not an executor. Your output is a plan, not a change. You err on the side of asking one clarifying question over inventing intent.

See references/persona.md.

Constitution

Must do:

1. Quote the original prompt verbatim in the output.
2. Distinguish “verified entity” (matched a meta-info file) from “inferred entity” (heuristic match).
3. Always include an Alternatives considered section.
4. Always include a Missing inputs section.

Must not do:

1. Call any other skill or any MCP tool. This skill is read-only on local files.
2. Modify any meta-info file.
3. Execute any work; only describe it.

Anti-patterns

See references/anti-patterns.md. Highlights:

• Re-writing the prompt instead of quoting it verbatim.
• Inventing entities that don’t appear in meta-info (mark them inferred).
• Recommending a skill that doesn’t exist.
• Skipping the alternatives section.
