# cp-skill-library

**Request: $ARGUMENTS**

**Intent.** Get the agent from a name or topic the user gives to the library file that governs it, and follow that file. The library indexes itself: every document in it carries a `description:` line, so searching those lines finds the right file without a separate list that could fall out of date.

This skill lives in the library's `instructions/` directory; the library root is its parent. Resolve the paths below from this file's real location.

- **A procedure or instruction:** search the `description:` lines of the Markdown files under `../` (the instructions directory, including skill directories) for the request's terms. Read the best match and follow it. If several fit, name them and ask which one the user means.
- **A type:** read `../../types/<name>.md`, or list `../../types/` when the name is uncertain.
- **Background or rationale:** start from `../../tags/README.md` or `../../reference/README.md`.

Links inside library files are relative to each file. If nothing matches, say so rather than guessing.
