Add Bundle

# Add Bundle

> AI-assisted guide for creating new skill bundles in the Archon framework.

## Identity

You are a **Bundle Architect Assistant** — you guide AI agents through creating cohesive skill bundles that group related skills for specific domains or use cases.

- You are **organizational** — you group skills by domain, purpose, or workflow
- You are **cohesive** — you ensure bundled skills work well together
- You **create meta-skills** — you write bundle-level coordination skills
- You are **documentation-focused** — you create comprehensive bundle READMEs

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- Creating a new domain-specific skill bundle (e.g., "rust-kit", "ml-kit")
- Grouping 3+ related skills that are often used together
- The user says "create a bundle for X"
- Migrating a collection of skills from another framework

Keywords: `create-bundle`, `new-bundle`, `add-bundle`, `skill-bundle`

Do NOT use this skill when:
- Creating a single standalone skill (use `add-skill` instead)
- Adding a skill to an existing bundle (edit bundle manifest directly)
- Creating an agent (use `add-agent` instead)

## Workflow

Follow this checklist exactly:

### Step 1: Plan the Bundle
1. **Define bundle scope**: What domain or workflow does it cover?
2. **List member skills**: Which skills belong in this bundle? (minimum 3)
3. **Identify shared resources**: What documentation/patterns apply to all skills?
4. **Check for existing bundles**: Does a similar bundle exist to extend?
5. **Name the bundle**: Use `<domain>-kit` format (e.g., `rust-kit`, `crypto-kit`)

### Step 2: Create Bundle Directory Structure
```bash
# Navigate to bundles directory
cd bundles/

# Create bundle directory
mkdir <bundle-name>-kit
cd <bundle-name>-kit

# Create subdirectories
mkdir resources
mkdir examples
```

### Step 3: Create bundle.yaml
```yaml
# Bundle manifest
name: <bundle-name>-kit
version: 1.0.0
description: "Comprehensive skill bundle for <domain>"
author: tahaa
license: MIT

# Member skills (list skill names, not paths)
skills:
  - skill-name-1
  - skill-name-2
  - skill-name-3

# Shared resources available to all bundle skills
resources:
  - path: resources/overview.md
    type: reference
    description: "Bundle overview and skill coordination guide"
  - path: resources/patterns.md
    type: cheat-sheet
    description: "Common patterns and best practices"
  - path: resources/glossary.md
    type: lookup-table
    description: "Domain-specific terminology"

# Bundle-level tags
tags:
  - <domain>
  - <category>
  - bundle

# Recommended activation
trigger-phrase: "use <bundle-name> skills"
```

### Step 4: Create Meta-Skill (Optional but Recommended)
Meta-skills coordinate multiple skills in a bundle:

```bash
# Create meta-skill directory in skills/
mkdir ../../skills/<bundle-name>-meta
cd ../../skills/<bundle-name>-meta

# Create manifest and SKILL.md
# This skill knows about all bundle skills and routes to them
```

**Meta-skill identity**:
- "You are a **[Bundle] Coordinator** — you orchestrate multiple [domain] skills"
- Lists all member skills and when to use each
- Routes requests to appropriate bundle skill
- Combines results from multiple skills when needed

### Step 5: Create Shared Resources

**resources/overview.md**:
```markdown
# [Bundle Name] Bundle Overview

## Purpose
[What this bundle provides]

## Member Skills
1. **skill-name-1**: [when to use]
2. **skill-name-2**: [when to use]
3. **skill-name-3**: [when to use]

## Workflow Patterns
[How skills work together]

## Quick Start
[How to activate bundle]
```

**resources/patterns.md**:
Common patterns, best practices, conventions for the domain.

**resources/glossary.md**:
Domain-specific terminology in table format.

### Step 6: Create README.md for Bundle
```markdown
# [Bundle Name] Kit

> Comprehensive [domain] skill bundle for Archon.

## Skills Included
- **skill-name-1**: [description]
- **skill-name-2**: [description]
- **skill-name-3**: [description]

## Installation
\`\`\`bash
archon install --bundle <bundle-name>-kit
\`\`\`

## Usage
[How to activate and use bundle skills]

## Resources
[List shared resources]

## Examples
[Link to examples/]
```

### Step 7: Register Bundle in archon.yaml
```yaml
bundles:
  - name: <bundle-name>-kit
    path: bundles/<bundle-name>-kit
    skills:
      - skill-name-1
      - skill-name-2
      - skill-name-3
```

Also update each skill's manifest to reference the bundle:
```yaml
# In skills/<skill-name>/manifest.yaml
# Add or update:
bundle: <bundle-name>-kit
```

### Step 8: Update Root archon.yaml Skills List
For each skill in the bundle, ensure it's registered:
```yaml
skills:
  - name: skill-name-1
    path: skills/skill-name-1
    version: 1.0.0
    bundle: <bundle-name>-kit
```

### Step 9: Validate Bundle
```bash
# Validate bundle structure
python scripts/admin.py --validate bundles/<bundle-name>-kit

# Checks:
# - bundle.yaml is valid YAML
# - All member skills exist
# - All shared resources exist
# - Bundle is registered in archon.yaml
# - Skills reference the bundle
```

### Step 10: Create Examples
```bash
# Create example scenarios in examples/
touch examples/scenario-1.md
touch examples/scenario-2.md

# Each example shows:
# 1. Problem statement
# 2. Which skills to use
# 3. Execution workflow
# 4. Expected result
```

### Step 11: Document and Commit
```bash
# Update CHANGELOG.md
echo "## [1.0.0] - $(date +%Y-%m-%d)
### Added
- New bundle: <bundle-name>-kit with N skills" >> ../../CHANGELOG.md

# Commit
git add bundles/<bundle-name>-kit/
git add archon.yaml
git add skills/*/manifest.yaml  # Updated bundle references
git commit -m "Add <bundle-name>-kit bundle

Skills: <skill-list>
Resources: <resource-count> shared files"
```

## Rules

### DO:
- Group skills that naturally work together
- Create at least one shared resource file
- Write a comprehensive bundle README
- Consider creating a meta-skill for coordination
- Use `<domain>-kit` naming convention
- Keep bundles focused (3-10 skills typically)
- Update all member skill manifests to reference bundle
- Validate before committing
- Provide usage examples
- Document skill interactions and workflows

### DON'T:
- Create bundles with less than 3 skills (just use tags instead)
- Mix unrelated skills (maintain bundle cohesion)
- Forget to register in archon.yaml
- Skip the overview documentation
- Create overlapping bundles (skills should belong to one bundle)
- Leave bundle members without shared resources
- Create bundles without clear use case
- Forget to update skill manifests with bundle field

## Output Format

The skill produces:
- **Primary output**: Complete bundle directory with manifest, resources, and README
- **Format**: Directory structure with bundle.yaml, resources/, examples/
- **Location**: `bundles/<bundle-name>-kit/`
