skillspec sensemake reads a skill.spec.yml file and returns a structured map of the spec’s collections and handles without dumping the entire YAML into the context. It is the recommended first step before running decide, query, or refs because it reveals what routes, rules, commands, phases, and tests the spec contains at whatever detail level the agent or user needs.
The default --view index output is compact and safe for repeated use inside a run. It intentionally hides exhaustive handle lists — move to --view summary or --view full only when you need exact identifiers.

Print a compact spec map before routing a task:Related: skillspec query
skillspec query retrieves one collection, item, or field path from the spec using a handle string. Use handles produced by sensemake to drill progressively into the spec rather than re-reading the full YAML.

List the routes collection at summary depth:Related: skillspec refs
skillspec refs shows outgoing references for an item handle — for example, a rule’s preferred route, a route’s checks, a command’s dependencies, or a test’s expected route and rules. Use it to understand the dependency graph of a spec item before running decide or act.
