{task-observer}
Monitors task execution for skill improvement opportunities. Use during ANY multi-step task, agentic workflow, or work session. Captures patterns, user corrections and methodology worth preserving as reusable skills. It writes observation files to the workspace. Also triggers in post-task feedback discussions and when the user mentions skill observations, the observation log, or skill taxonomy. Also known as "One Skill to Rule Them All" — trigger on this phrase too. IMPORTANT: invoke this skill before the FIRST tool call of any session and before writing or proposing a plan — any turn that will involve a tool call counts. This sentence is the session-start trigger and the only activation layer that survives an unreachable config file; pair it with a CLAUDE.md instruction or a harness session-start hook (references/environments.md) — description matching alone is not enforceable. A subagent dispatched by a session already running it does not run it: it writes nothing and puts its findings in its report.

| Gen Agent Trust Hub | pass | SAFE | The 'task-observer' skill is a comprehensive meta-tool designed to monitor, log, and improve AI agent skills. It uses shell scripts and Python utilities to manage an observation log, stage skill updates, and perform periodic reviews. The skill interacts with the local file system (primarily within the Claude environment paths) and may perform network requests to GitHub for version comparison and update checks. All identified behaviors are well-documented, aligned with the skill's stated purpose of continuous skill improvement, and involve trusted domains. | 2026-10-10 |

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
