Installable knowledge-pack skills for coding agents, reconstructed from genuinely open systems-engineering bodies of knowledge, vetted, attributed, and shareable by construction. Ask a topic; your agent reads the right chapter and answers from reference notes, not a hazy recollection.
Every source clears a written eligibility rubric: Tier 1 public-domain or Tier 2 open-licensed. The Excluded list (ISO/IEC/IEEE, INCOSE, OMG, SAE, ECSS) is a hard stop. Each pack carries its source's licence and attribution.
Each pack is an always-loaded SKILL.md index plus on-demand chapters, glossary, patterns, and a cheatsheet, so a large body of knowledge never fills the context window.
Plain Markdown. No MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime. Clone, install, invoke.
Stop breaking flow to dig through a 400-page handbook. Ask /nasa-se-handbook verification vs validation mid-task and get the framework (with the chapter it came from) instead of a plausible-sounding guess. The agent answers from reconstructed reference notes, so you can cite the source, not a hallucination.
Put the same vetted bodies of knowledge in front of every engineer and every agent, junior or senior, on every project. Reviews, requirements, risk, and safety work trace back to NASA / NIST / DoD / GAO / FAA canon by default, not to whoever happened to remember it. Consistency you can audit, with no per-seat licence and no PDFs to chase.
Answers route to a specific chapter and name their source. The agent reads the text instead of recalling it, so you get fewer confident wrong answers in domains where that costs you.
Only genuinely open sources go in, each carrying its own licence. Hand a pack to a teammate, a subcontractor, or a client without a legal review.
Plain Markdown skills on the open Agent Skills format. No server, no API key, no subscription. They work the same offline as online.

"What does the NASA risk handbook say about risk acceptance?"The /se orchestrator routes a free-text
systems-engineering question to the right pack or packs, reads them, and answers with pack and chapter
citations. It carries no source content and answers only when explicitly invoked, so it pairs with every
pack in the catalogue.
/se what does the NASA risk handbook say about risk acceptance? # narrow: routes one pack
/se compare how DoD and NASA guide verification planning # broad: proposes a plan first
/se draft the risk section of a SEMP # deliverable: pauses at each stageEach pack uses progressive disclosure: an always-loaded SKILL.md index decides which single chapter answers your question and loads only that, so a large source never fills the context window. Full detail in docs/skill-usage.md.

python install.py --dry-run # preview packs + target

python install.py --agent all # claude · openclaw · copilot · codex · geminiClaude Code, OpenClaw, and GitHub Copilot CLI read the SKILL.md format directly: the whole pack is copied, with full progressive disclosure.
Codex (prompt), Gemini (TOML command), and Cursor (project rule) receive the always-loaded index inlined into one file by the installer.
One stdlib-only install.py with --agent / --list-agents drives them all. Defaults to Claude Code.
That is 69 skills in all: 64 knowledge

Each pack carries its source's licence in packs/<slug>/LICENSE, independent of the repo MIT licence. A CC BY-NC-SA source yields a CC BY-NC-SA pack.
Every pack is reconstructed as synthesized reference notes, never a verbatim reproduction, with per-pack source attribution in NOTICE. No source-material download links are published; attribution travels as text plus the licence deed.
