# Scribe — Skills Registry

Scribe's craft *is* documentation, so these are its core competencies (not "familiar-with").
Each is **self-authored** (SnS-owned, no license risk); relevant public work is listed for
reference and optional install.

## Skills
| Skill | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| [`draft-document`](./draft-document/SKILL.md) | The controlled drafting process: source → architecture → draft → validate → deliver with limitations |
| [`structure-and-style`](./structure-and-style/SKILL.md) | Information architecture, SNS voice, plain language, precision distinctions, consistency |
| [`diagram`](./diagram/SKILL.md) | Choose and build the right diagram (Mermaid) — only when it improves understanding |
| [`quality-check`](./quality-check/SKILL.md) | Pre-delivery checklist: facts, references, consistency, meaning preserved |
| [`build-dashboard`](./build-dashboard/SKILL.md) | Build HTML dashboards / visual reports from provided data — icon libraries, brand palette, one primary family |

## Reference libraries (in this agent's folder)
- [`../diagram-tools.md`](../diagram-tools.md) — Python diagram packages (Graphviz, `diagrams`,
  N2G, schemdraw, erdantic, pyvis, plotly, matplotlib, NetworkX) + the network/cloud discovery
  stack. All open-source. *(Discovery tools are out of Scribe's scope — see the `diagram` skill.)*
- [`../dashboard-icons.md`](../dashboard-icons.md) — 10 dashboard icon libraries with CDNs +
  licenses. Prefer Tabler (MIT), Phosphor (MIT), Simple Icons (CC0); verify Remix/Font Awesome.

| [cclank/lanshu-animated-architecture-diagram](https://github.com/cclank/lanshu-animated-architecture-diagram) | ⚠️ verify | premium architecture diagrams (Excalidraw/PNG/GIF) | reference only until license confirmed |
| [gokulrajaram/ProductSpec](https://github.com/gokulrajaram/ProductSpec) | ⚠️ verify | structured spec format if we ever write PRDs | reference |

- **Core tools (free/OSS, listed in `TOOLS.md`):** **Mermaid** (MIT) for diagrams, **Pandoc**
  (GPL) for rendering md → DOCX/PDF/HTML. Both are the lean default — no agent-skill install needed.
- **⚠️ repos:** confirm an OSI license before installing/redistributing (free/OSS-only rule).
- Scribe's own skills are self-contained — no external dependency required to operate.
