Pattern-based skill invocation has been successfully implemented and tested.
User Message: "please /commit and /mr these changes"

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 1: Pattern Detection (pattern-matcher.ts) │
│ - Regex scan: /(?<![:\w])\/([a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,49})/ │
│ - Extract: [{ name: 'commit' }, { name: 'mr' }] │
│ - Exclude built-ins: /help, /clear, etc. │
│ - Deduplicate: /mr /mr → /mr │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 2: Load Skills (SkillManager.getSkillsByNames) │
│ - Discovery: Scan .codemie/skills/ │
│ - Load SKILL.md: Parse metadata + content │
│ - Build inventory: Scan for .md, .sh, .js, etc. │
│ - Format: Create injection-ready content │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 3: Inject SystemMessage (agent.chatStream) │
│ - Create SystemMessage with skill content │
│ - Include file inventory (paths only) │
│ - Add to conversation history before user message │
│ - Priority guidance for LLM │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 4: LLM Processing (with skills context) │
│ - Receives: Skill guidance + file inventory │
│ - Can use Read tool for on-demand file access │
│ - Follows skill workflow and best practices │

Pattern Matcher (33 tests) - All Passing ✅
- Single pattern detection:
/mr - Multiple patterns:
/commit and /mr - Mid-sentence:
ensure you can /commit this - Arguments:
/commit -m "fix bug" - Built-in exclusions:
/help,/clear,/exit, etc. - Name validation: lowercase, hyphens, numbers
- Deduplication:
/mr /mr→ single pattern
Content Loader (10 tests) - All Passing ✅
- Load skill with inventory
- Handle missing directories
- Exclude: hidden files, node_modules, SKILL.md
- Include: .md, .sh, .js, .ts, .py, .json, .yaml
- Subdirectory scanning
- Alphabetical sorting
- Permission error handling
Pattern Invocation Flow - All Passing ✅
- Single skill injection
- Multiple skills (2+)
- Non-existent skills (graceful)
- Mixed valid/invalid
- Built-in exclusion
- Deduplication
- File inventory with subdirectories
- Pattern arguments
- Minimal skill (no files)
- Direct loading
Total: 53 new tests, 100% passing
Input: "please /commit these changes"
Output: ✅ Detected: commit
✅ Loaded: commit skill
✅ Inventory: 0 files
Input: "please /commit and then /mr"
Output: ✅ Detected: commit, mr
✅ Loaded: commit, mr skills
✅ Inventory: 2 files (mr skill)
Input: "ensure you can /mr this work"
Output: ✅ Detected: mr at position 15
✅ Arguments: "this work"
✅ Loaded: mr skill
✅ Content: 9290 chars injected
Input: "/help me with this"
Output: ✅ Detected: none (correctly excluded)
Input: "/mr and then /mr again"
Output: ✅ Detected: mr (deduplicated from 2 to 1)
✅ Pattern count: 1
- Load: Skill metadata only (name, description)
- Size: ~100 bytes per skill
- Use: Display in
codemie skill list
- Load: Full SKILL.md + file inventory
- Size: ~5-10KB per skill
- Use: Inject as SystemMessage for LLM guidance
- Load: Specific reference files
- Size: ~10KB per file
- Use: LLM decides when to access additional context
Token Efficiency:
- Without file inventory: 20KB upfront for all files
- With file inventory: 5KB + 10KB only if needed = 15KB max
- Savings: 25% reduction, more if files not accessed
