@firstpick/pi-package-skill-lifecycle

Self-contained Pi package for skill lifecycle management.

What is bundled

This package intentionally groups the skill-management tools that work together:

• @firstpick/pi-extension-memory-helper — daily memory plus per-skill memory tools.
• vendor/pi-skill-skill-bank-manager — read-only skill inventory, overlap, and prune/merge planning.
• vendor/pi-skill-skill-evaluator — SKILL.md quality gate, routing fixture checks, safety checks, and tests.
• vendor/pi-skill-skill-creator — disabled skill drafts from reusable workflows.
• vendor/pi-skill-skill-refinement-loop — per-skill memory plus PATCH.md-style refinement proposals from failures/corrections.
• docs/SKILL-LIFECYCLE-POLICY.md — package-bundled lifecycle policy used directly by the lifecycle skills.

The component package resources are vendored under vendor/ so this package can be published as one npm package without relying on sibling checkout paths. The package also exposes the evaluator CLI wrappers skill_eval_run and skill_eval_all through its root npm bin metadata.

These belong together because they implement the same lifecycle:

remember → audit/manage → evaluate → create → refine

Related but not bundled by default:

• @firstpick/pi-package-learnings — broader troubleshooting archive, not skill-specific lifecycle infrastructure.
• @firstpick/pi-skill-patch-md — generic source patch documentation, useful but not required by the refinement-loop tool.

Install

pi install npm:@firstpick/pi-package-skill-lifecycle

For local development only:

pi install ./pi-package-skill-lifecycle

Production vs development fixtures

Repository-level tests/routing/ fixtures are development/evaluation data. They are not needed for Pi runtime use and are not loaded by this package.

Production/package routing fixtures that a published skill needs should live inside that skill package, for example:

skills/<skill-name>/tests/routing.json
skills/<skill-name>/references/

Publishing note

This package is self-contained for the related skill lifecycle resources: component package contents are vendored under vendor/, the package-level policy is bundled under docs/, and the pi manifest references the vendored Pi resources directly.

Before publishing this bundle, verify the packed tarball contains the referenced vendor/... resources. The vendored directories are the canonical publishable source for these lifecycle skills/tools; there are no separate top-level pi-skill-skill-* packages to publish. The only non-Pi-core runtime dependency is the published shared helper package @firstpick/pi-utils.

Safety

All destructive lifecycle actions are plan-only by default. The bundle adds tools and skills, but it does not auto-enable generated drafts, delete skills, prune symlinks, or publish packages.
