#+TITLE - Skill Creator (Reproductive System) #+AUTHOR - org-agent #+SKILL_NAME - skill-creator

This skill allows the agent to autonomously generate new Org-Native skills. It implements the "Self-Editing OS" philosophy by using the Lisp compiler as a safety gate.

Trigger

Triggers only when delegated to by the Router.

(defun trigger-skill-creator (context)
  (let ((type (getf context :type))
        (payload (getf context :payload)))
    (and (eq type :EVENT)
         (eq (getf payload :sensor) :delegation)
         (eq (getf payload :target-skill) :skill-creator))))

Neuro Prompt

System 1 is tasked with drafting a complete Org-Native skill file.

(defun neuro-skill-creator (context)
  "Generate a System 1 prompt for drafting a new skill, using self-awareness of existing hierarchy."
  (let ((query (getf (getf context :payload) :query))
        ;; Introspection - See what else the brain can do
        (existing-skills (org-agent:context-list-all-skills)))
    (format nil "
      You are the Skill Creator for a Neurosymbolic Lisp Machine.

      INSTRUCTIONS:
      1. Assign a :priority integer. Negotiate this based on the existing hierarchy.
         - Safety/Normalization should always be highest (100+).
         - Logic/GTD should be medium (50-80).
         - New creative capabilities should typically be lower (20-40).
      
      Structure:
      - Title and Skill Name headers
      - * Trigger block (Lisp)
      - * Neuro Prompt block (Lisp)
      - * Symbolic Verification block (Lisp)
      - * Registration block (Lisp using defskill)
      
      Return a Lisp plist - (:target :system :action :create-skill :filename \"skill-name.org\" :content \"file content\")
    " query existing-skills)))

Symbolic Verification & Acquisition

System 2 acts as the Gatekeeper. It extracts Lisp blocks, validates syntax, and handles acquisition.

(defun creator-extract-lisp-blocks (content)
  "Extract Lisp source blocks from Org text."
  (let ((results nil)
        (lines (uiop:split-string content :separator '(#\Newline)))
        (in-block nil)
        (current-block ""))
    (dolist (line lines)
      (let ((clean (string-trim '(#\Space #\Tab #\Return) line)))
        (cond
         ((uiop:string-prefix-p "#+begin_src lisp" (string-downcase clean)) 
          (setf in-block t))
         ((uiop:string-prefix-p "#+end_src" (string-downcase clean)) 
          (setf in-block nil)
          (push current-block results)
          (setf current-block ""))
         (in-block (setf current-block (concatenate 'string current-block line (string #\Newline)))))))
    (nreverse results)))

(defun verify-skill-creator (proposed-action context)
  "Validates new code syntax before delegating to the :system actuator."
  (let* ((payload (getf proposed-action :payload))
         (filename (getf payload :filename))
         (content (getf payload :content))
         (lisp-blocks (creator-extract-lisp-blocks content)))
    
    (kernel-log "KERNEL [Creator] Validating ~a~%" filename)
    
    (dolist (block lisp-blocks)
      (multiple-value-bind (valid err) (org-agent:validate-lisp-syntax block)
        (unless valid
          (kernel-log "KERNEL [Creator] REJECTED ~a~%" err)
          (return-from verify-skill-creator 
            `(:target :emacs :action :message :text ,(format nil "Syntax error - ~a" err))))))
    
    ;; If syntax is valid, we return the proposed-action which targets :system.
    ;; The core's execute-system-action will handle the file write and reload.
