+
+## Data Flow
+
+### 1. Tool Discovery
+
+**Agent** → **MCP Server**: `list_tools()`
+
+```
+Agent Lee: "What skills do you have?"
+    ↓
+MCP Server:
+  - Reads skills-registry.json
+  - Filters enabled skills (enabled: true)
+  - Converts each skill to MCP Tool format
+  - Returns 44 Tool definitions
+    ↓
+Agent Lee: Receives tool list with names, descriptions, input schemas
+```
+
+**MCP Tool Format**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "typescript-codegen",
+  "description": "Generate production-ready TypeScript code...",
+  "inputSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "instruction": { "type": "string" },
+      "context": { "type": "object" },
+      "options": { "type": "object" }
+    },
+    "required": ["instruction"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Tool Invocation
+
+**Agent** → **MCP Server**: `call_tool(tool_name, arguments)`
+
+```
+Agent Lee: "Use typescript-codegen to generate an API client"
+    ↓
+Agent constructs:
+{
+  "name": "typescript-codegen",
+  "arguments": {
+    "instruction": "Generate API client",
+    "context": { "framework": "axios" },
+    "options": { "useAsync": true }
+  }
+}
+    ↓
+MCP Server receives:
+  - Validates tool exists
+  - Validates input against schema
+  - Loads SKILL.md from disk
+  - Constructs execution instructions
+  - Creates execution prompt
+    ↓
+MCP Server returns:
+{
+  "content": [{
+    "type": "text",
+    "text": "Execution instruction: [full skill guidance]"
+  }],
+  "isError": false
+}
+    ↓
+Agent Lee: Integrates result into response
+"I've executed the typescript-codegen skill. Here's the generated client..."
+```
+
+### 3. Skill Resolution
+
+When MCP Server executes a tool:
+
+```
+1. Tool Name: "typescript-codegen"
+   ↓
+2. Registry Lookup: Find skill with name "TypeScript Code Generation"
+   ↓
+3. Skill Path: "skills/code-generation/typescript-codegen"
+   ↓
+4. Load SKILL.md:
+   - Expert description
+   - Capabilities list
+   - Key techniques
+   - Use cases
+   - Tags
+   ↓
+5. Create Prompt:
+   - Skill documentation
+   - User instruction
+   - Context data
+   - Options
+   ↓
+6. Return to Agent:
+   - Complete skill execution prompt
+   - Ready to apply expertise
+```
+

+
+## Tool Execution Pipeline
+
+```
+Request Validation
+    ↓
+[Check tool exists]
+[Validate input schema]
+[Validate against Leeway policies]
+    ↓
+Skill Resolution
+    ↓
+[Look up in registry]
+[Find on disk]
+[Load SKILL.md]

+    ],
+    "isError": false,
+    "toolUse": {
+      "name": "typescript-codegen",
+      "category": "code-generation",
+      "version": "1.0.0"
+    }
+  },
+  "id": 2
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Components
+
+### 1. Tool Registry Mapper
+
+Converts `skills-registry.json` entries to MCP Tool definitions:
+
+```typescript
+// Input from registry
+{
+  "name": "TypeScript Code Generation",
+  "category": "code-generation",
+  "description": "Generating production-ready TypeScript...",
+  "capabilities": ["Generate type-safe code", ...],
+  "tags": ["typescript", "javascript", ...]
+}
+
+// Output as MCP Tool
+{
+  "name": "typescript-codegen",  // normalized
+  "description": "[skill description + capabilities]",
+  "inputSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "instruction": { "type": "string" },
+      "context": { "type": "object" },
+      "options": { "type": "object" }
+    },
+    "required": ["instruction"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Skill Loader
+
+Reads actual SKILL.md files from disk:
+
+```typescript
+private async loadSkillContent(skillPath: string): Promise<string> {
+  const skillMarkdown = await fs.readFile(
+    `${skillPath}/SKILL.md`,
+    "utf-8"
+  );
+  return skillMarkdown;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Prompt Constructor
+
+Assembles the complete execution prompt:
+
+```typescript
+private async constructSkillPrompt(
+  skill: SkillsTool,
+  instruction: string,
+  context: any,
+  options: any
+): Promise<string> {
+  const skillDoc = await this.loadSkillContent(skill.skillPath);
+
+  return `
+# Executing: ${skill.name}
+
+## Skill Documentation
+${skillDoc}
+
+## Your Task
+${instruction}
+
+## Context
+${JSON.stringify(context, null, 2)}
+
+## Options
+${JSON.stringify(options, null, 2)}
+
+## Please apply this skill's expertise...
+  `;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Governance Enforcer
+
+Validates all requests against Leeway Standards:
+
+```typescript
+private validateLeewayCompliance(request: any): void {
+  // NO_SECRETS_IN_CODE
+  if (this.containsSecrets(request.arguments)) {
+    throw new Error("Secrets detected in request");
+  }
+
+  // TAGS_REQUIRED
+  const skill = this.skills.get(request.name);
+  if (!skill.tags || skill.tags.length === 0) {
+    throw new Error("Skill missing required tags");
+  }
+
+  // Log for audit
+  this.auditLog.record({
+    timestamp: new Date(),
+    tool: request.name,
+    action: "execute",
+    status: "validated",
+  });
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Direct Tool Calling
+
+**Agent calls skill directly**:
+
+```javascript
+// Agent discovers tool
+const tools = await mcp.listTools();
+const typescript_codegen = tools.find((t) => t.name === "typescript-codegen");
+
+// Agent calls skill
+const result = await mcp.callTool("typescript-codegen", {
+  instruction: "Generate API client",
+  context: { framework: "axios" },
+  options: { useAsync: true },
+});
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Tool Chaining
+
+**Agent chains multiple skills**:
+
+```javascript
+// Step 1: Generate code
+const generated = await mcp.callTool("typescript-codegen", {...});
+
+// Step 2: Analyze it
+const analyzed = await mcp.callTool("static-analysis", {
+  context: { code: generated },
+  instruction: "Find issues..."
+});
+
+// Step 3: Create tests
+const tested = await mcp.callTool("unit-testing", {
+  context: { code: generated },
+  instruction: "Create tests..."
+});
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Conditional Tool Selection
+
+**Agent dynamically selects best tool**:
+
+```javascript
+const taskDescription = "Improve my Python code";
+
+// Agent analyzes task
+const tools = await mcp.listTools();
+const bestTool = tools.find(
+  (t) =>
+    t.description.includes("Python") && t.description.includes("optimization"),
+);
+
+// Agent executes selected tool
+const result = await mcp.callTool(bestTool.name, {
+  instruction: taskDescription,
+});
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Multi-Agent Coordination
+
+**Multiple agents share skills**:
+
+```javascript
+// Agent Lee discovers skills
+const leewaySkills = await leeMCP.listTools();
+
+// Shares with Agent Alice
+await aliceMCP.loadTools(leewaySkills);
+
+// Both agents can now call same skills
+const aliceResult = await aliceMCP.callTool("llm-prompting", {...});
+```
+

+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+| Operation                      | Time        | Notes                    |
+| ------------------------------ | ----------- | ------------------------ |
+| Load 44 skills                 | ~100ms      | Initial registry parsing |
+| List tools                     | ~50ms       | Return tool definitions  |
+| Call tool (with SKILL.md load) | ~200-500ms  | Disk I/O included        |
+| Governance checks              | ~10-50ms    | Per request validation   |
+| Skill chaining (3 skills)      | ~500-1500ms | Parallel vs serial       |
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+| Component                   | Usage    |
+| --------------------------- | -------- |
+| Skills registry (cached)    | ~5MB     |
+| Tool definitions in memory  | ~2MB     |
+| Execution cache (100 items) | ~10-20MB |
+| Total baseline              | ~45MB    |
+
+### Throughput
+
+- **Single tool execution**: ~200-500ms per request
+- **Parallel execution**: 5-10 concurrent requests
+- **Chained execution**: 3-5 skill depth recommended
+- **Concurrent tools**: Limited by LLM token generation
+
+---
+
+## Governance & Compliance
+
+### Leeway Standards Integration
+
+```
+Every tool call verified against:
+
+1. NO_SECRETS_IN_CODE
+   ✓ Scan instruction for passwords/tokens
+   ✓ Check context data for secrets
+   ✓ Reject if secrets detected
+
+2. HEADERS_REQUIRED
+   ✓ All skills must have LEEWAY HEADER
+   ✓ Verify on tool load
+   ✓ Enforce before execution
+
+3. TAGS_REQUIRED
+   ✓ All skills must have tags
+   ✓ Check during registration
+   ✓ Aid discoverability
+
+4. NO_CIRCULAR_DEPS
+   ✓ Skills don't depend on each other
+   ✓ Linear execution model
+   ✓ Prevent deadlocks
+
+5. DOCUMENTATION
+   ✓ SKILL.md must exist
+   ✓ Loaded for every tool call
+   ✓ Included in execution prompt
+```
+
+### Audit Logging
+
+```
+✓ Every tool call logged:
+  - Timestamp
+  - Tool name
+  - User/agent
+  - Input parameters (sanitized)
+  - Execution time
+  - Success/failure
+  - Governance status
+
+✓ Logs written to:

+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Test tool discovery
+const tools = await mcp.listTools();
+assert(tools.length === 44);
+assert(tools[0].name === "typescript-codegen");
+
+// Test tool execution
+const result = await mcp.callTool("typescript-codegen", {
+  instruction: "test",
+  context: {},
+  options: {},
+});
+assert(result.content[0].type === "text");
+
+// Test governance
+const tainted = { instruction: "test", context: { password: "secret" } };
+assert.throws(() => mcp.callTool("test", tainted));
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Test Agent Lee integration
+const agentLee = new AgentLee();
+const tools = await agentLee.discoverTools();
+assert(tools.length > 0);
+
+const result = await agentLee.useTool("typescript-codegen", {...});
+assert(result.includes("generated code"));
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```powershell
+$env:DEBUG = "leeway-skills:*"
+npm start
+```
+
+### Verbose Logging
+
+```json
+{
+  "logging": {
+    "level": "debug",
+    "format": "json",
+    "outputs": ["console", ".leeway/logs/mcp-server.log"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Check Tool Availability
+
+```javascript
+const tools = await mcp.listTools();
+console.log(`Available tools: ${tools.length}`);
+tools.forEach((t) => console.log(`- ${t.name}: ${t.description}`));
+```
