class Riffer::Skills::Context

Skills context for an agent generation cycle — coordinates discovery, activation, and prompt rendering, caching skill bodies to avoid redundant backend reads. Exposed to tools via context.skills.

Attributes

adapter [R]

The skill adapter used for this context.

on_activate [RW]

Optional callback invoked when a skill is first activated.

skills [R]

Skill catalog indexed by name.

Public Instance Methods

activatable? ()

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 118
def activatable?
  available_skills.any?
end

Returns whether any skill is available for the model to activate.

activate (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 51
def activate(name)
  body = read(name)
  unless @activated.include?(name)
    @activated << name
    @on_activate&.call(name)
  end
  body
end

Activates a skill by name. Returns the cached body on re-activation.

Raises Riffer::ArgumentError if the skill is not in the catalog.

activated? (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 101
def activated?(name)
  @activated.include?(name)
end

Returns whether a skill has been activated.

activation_prompt (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 67
def activation_prompt(name)
  body = activate(name)
  @adapter.render_activation(skills.fetch(name), body)
end

Activates a skill and returns its body wrapped for injection as a user message.

Raises Riffer::ArgumentError if the skill is not in the catalog.

deactivate (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 90
def deactivate(name)
  raise Riffer::ArgumentError, "Unknown skill: '#{name}'" unless skills.key?(name)

  @activated.delete(name)
  nil
end

Clears a skill’s activation so the next activation is treated as the first.

Raises Riffer::ArgumentError if the skill is not in the catalog.

model_invocable? (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 108
def model_invocable?(name)
  skill = skills[name]
  return false unless skill

  !skill.disable_model_invocation
end

Returns whether a skill exists and may be activated by the model.

preactivate (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 79
def preactivate(name)
  activate(name)
  @preactivated << name unless @preactivated.include?(name)
end

Activates a skill whose body renders in the system prompt rather than the conversation.

Raises Riffer::ArgumentError if the skill is not in the catalog.

read (name)

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 39
def read(name)
  raise Riffer::ArgumentError, "Unknown skill: '#{name}'" unless skills.key?(name)

  @bodies[name] ||= @backend.read_skill(name)
end

Returns a skill’s body without recording an activation.

Raises Riffer::ArgumentError if the skill is not in the catalog.

system_prompt ()

Source

# File lib/riffer/skills/context.rb, line 126
def system_prompt
  available = available_skills
  parts = [] #: Array[String]
  parts << @adapter.render_catalog(available) unless available.empty?
  @preactivated.each { |name| parts << @adapter.render_activation(skills.fetch(name), @bodies.fetch(name)) }
  parts.join("\n\n")
end

Returns the complete skills section for the system prompt — the catalog plus any pre-activated skill bodies.
