    - unit_testing
    - integration_testing

Workflow Orchestration

Automated Main Script:

# Validates all components
for skill in ${COMPONENT_SKILLS[@]}; do
    .vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh ".vibe/skills/$skill"
done

# Executes components in order
.vibe/skills/${COMPONENT_SKILLS[0]}/scripts/main.sh
.vibe/skills/${COMPONENT_SKILLS[1]}/scripts/main.sh

Comprehensive Documentation

Generated Documentation:

  • Integration guides with multiple patterns
  • Workflow diagrams (text, mermaid, sequence)
  • Component documentation templates
  • Troubleshooting and best practices

Technical Details

Composite Skill Structure

composite-skill/
├── SKILL.md                  # Composite metadata + component list
├── scripts/
│   └── main.sh              # Workflow orchestration (2KB)
├── references/
│   └── INTEGRATION.md        # Integration guide (8KB)
├── assets/
│   └── workflow-diagram.md   # Visual diagrams (6KB)
└── README.md                # Usage guide (10KB)

Metadata Format

# SKILL.md
metadata:
  composes:
    - component1
    - component2
    - component3
  compatibility: ">=1.0.0"
  dependencies:
    required:
      - name: skill_creator
        version: ">=1.0.0"

Workflow Patterns

  1. Linear Execution: Step-by-step component execution
  2. Parallel Execution: Independent components run concurrently
  3. Conditional Execution: Components run based on conditions
  4. Error Handling: Graceful recovery from component failures
  5. Data Flow: Component output → composite input → final output

Validation

Enhanced Validation

# Validate composite skills
.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/validate_skill.sh .vibe/skills/composite-skill

# Checks:
# ✓ SKILL.md with composite metadata
# ✓ All component skills exist and are valid
# ✓ Workflow scripts are present
# ✓ Documentation is complete

Composite-Specific Checks

  1. Component Validation: All composed skills must be valid
  2. Metadata Validation: Composite structure must be correct
  3. Workflow Validation: Execution logic must be sound
  4. Documentation Validation: All guides must be present

Examples

Example 1: Testing Composite

# Create testing workflow
.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh fullstack-testing \
  bdd_testing unit_testing integration_testing

# Run complete testing
.vibe/skills/fullstack-testing/scripts/main.sh

# Or run individual tests
.vibe/skills/bdd_testing/scripts/run-tests.sh

Example 2: Deployment Pipeline

# Create deployment workflow
.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh ci-cd-pipeline \
  build test package deploy monitor

# Configure pipeline
.vibe/skills/ci-cd-pipeline/scripts/main.sh --env=production

# Access individual stages
.vibe/skills/build/scripts/build.sh

Example 3: Data Processing

# Create ETL workflow
.vibe/skills/skill_creator/scripts/create_composite_skill.sh data-pipeline \
  extract transform load validate

# Process data
.vibe/skills/data-pipeline/scripts/main.sh --input=data.csv --output=results.json

# Run specific steps
.vibe/skills/extract/scripts/extract.sh data.csv
