Plugin Registry Scanner

Discover and catalog all skills from installed looplia plugins.

Purpose

Scan the plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md directory structure to build a registry of available skills with their capabilities.

Process

1. Scan Plugin Directories

bun plugins/looplia-core/skills/plugin-registry-scanner/scripts/scan-plugins.ts

This deterministic script returns a JSON registry of all discovered skills.

2. Parse the Registry

The script output contains:

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "looplia-writer",
      "path": "plugins/looplia-writer",
      "skills": [
        {
          "name": "media-reviewer",
          "description": "Deep content analysis (structure, themes, narrative)",
          "tools": ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"],
          "model": "haiku",
          "capabilities": ["content analysis", "theme extraction", "quote identification"]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "totalPlugins": 2,
    "totalSkills": 7
  }
}

3. Infer Capabilities (Optional LLM Step)

If capability inference is needed beyond what the script provides, analyze skill descriptions to extract:

• Input types handled (video, audio, text, etc.)
• Processing capabilities (analyze, transform, generate, etc.)
• Output formats (JSON, markdown, structured data)

Output Schema

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "string",
      "path": "string",
      "skills": [
        {
          "name": "string",
          "description": "string",
          "tools": ["string"],
          "model": "string",
          "capabilities": ["string"]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "totalPlugins": "number",
    "totalSkills": "number"
  }
}

Usage

This skill is typically invoked as the first step in workflow building:

1. Scan available plugins and skills
2. Pass registry to skill-capability-matcher
3. Use matched skills in workflow-schema-composer

Notes

• The scan script is deterministic (no LLM tokens)
• Capabilities can be inferred from descriptions if not explicitly declared
• Skills without SKILL.md files are skipped
• Invalid frontmatter generates warnings but doesn't halt scanning
