Summary
Create a small "Skills Reviewers" sub-team within the AI/ML SIG, responsible for creating, reviewing, and curating shared AI skills in the skills-library repo.
Background
There is growing interest in AI skills that follow the Agent Skills specification — guided, agent-neutral skill definitions that can be shared, improved, and used by any LLM/model. The skills-library repo already has active contributions (e.g., @cverna merged PR #8), but there is no formal review process or reviewer team on Forgejo. Formalizing this will make the effort more sustainable and welcoming to new contributors.
This was proposed at the 2026-07-02 AI/ML SIG meeting. No opposition was raised. @cverna is implicitly on board based on recent engagement.
Details

A recognized sub-team in the SIG with a clear mandate to curate the skills-library, making it easy for contributors to participate and for PRs to get reviewed consistently.

+1 @ttomecek might be interested too
I am interested.
I am interested in joining too.
Related to this, I have opened ai-ml/skills-library#13 to discuss CI/Linting for skills.
@davdunc @lbarczio Awesome! Thanks both for sharing your interest. I am thinking we can likely transition most planning over into
ai-ml/skills-libraryas we get going, but for now, we can brainstorm more here.I think one of the most helpful things would be a human reviewer guide for things to observe and look out for when reviewing Agent Skills. It feels like new territory figuring out how to standardize a collaborative review process for something like this. If anyone wants to take a crack at this, it would be an ambitious but useful output.
In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas for new skills to create? I have one that I am working on locally about the Forgejo API on forge.fedoraproject.org. Especially the issues, labels, and milestone APIs. I have been wrangling the (more or less) same skill between several different projects, and I would like to commit it here and start looking into something like
agrfor using skills in my Forgejo projects.Hi everyone, to add to the brainstorming pool, I'm interested in creating skills focused on easing the packaging workflow (on top of e.g. what Packit already does), my first ideas would be:
I’m also up for kicking off the human reviewer guide, though I'm on vacation this week, I could dive into drafting that once I'm back next week.
I'm interested as well
I also realized recently that all of "The Open Organization" books are made available under CC BY-SA license. This got me thinking that an Agent Skill for working in open organizations, like Fedora community in a sense, could be an interesting one. Unlike the Forgejo API skill I am already working on, this idea is conceptual only right now. But I am thinking about something like this.
(back from my vacation), yes please, count me in!
Discussed in 2026-07-16 Fedora AI/ML SIG meeting.
The SIG voted to create the skills-reviewers team. Five volunteers joined over the past two weeks (@cverna, @davdunc, @lbarczio, @cybette, @ttomecek), and together with @jflory7 the team is seeded with six members. @davdunc, the only volunteer present, expressed support; no objections were raised. @trix noted significant energy around skills work generally and pointed to existing RPM-build skills in ClawHub that Fedora could learn from.

I asked this on matrix on Friday but never got a response - should the team be named
skills-reviewersor should it be called something else?@tflink yes let's do
skills-reviewers, But I wonder if that group doesn't need to be created in FAS first?filed infra ticket for new FAS group and linked forge team: infra/tickets#13466
Filed the ticket in the wrong place, new ticket in the correct place is forge/forge#677
@jflory7 and anyone interested - I opened a PR with an initial draft of the reviewer guidelines: ai-ml/skills-library#15. Feedback welcome!
The new team and matching FAS group have been created. @jflory7 and @tflink are the initial sponsors and I think that everyone mentioned has been added.
Note that you will need to logout of the forge and log back in before the team membership to take effect.
Thanks Tim! I confirm that I see a "member" badge next to my name in the repo.
