A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

<div align="center">
What your robot can do, one directory at a time.
A curated, contributable library of manipulation skills and model-backed tool bundles for GaP — graph as policy, in the Anthropic Agent Skills format. The LLM pipeline composes these bundles into executable robot graphs; every bundle is one directory, one SKILL.md, one PR.
</div>
Clone this repo next to the graph-as-policy checkout (or set GAP_SKILLS_PATH) and every GaP command — gap run, gap generate, gap benchmark — discovers it automatically; no flags, no registration.
New to GaP? Start with the libero_quickstart example or the 15-minute tour, then come back here when you want to add a capability.
Manipulation strategies. A skill owns subgraphs in generated workflows: its SKILL.md body is the guidance the subgraph agent reads, its scripts/ are the canonical recipes the graph executes, and its declared exit_conditions are what downstream routing keys on. Closed-loop VLA policies (pi05-libero, molmoact-libero) now live under policies/ with kind=policy — they share the bundle format but are surfaced to graphs through the policy plane, not the skill registry.

Model-backed typed callables — one bundle per model, no task strategy. Tool bundles never own subgraphs; they appear in the flat tool catalog every subgraph agent (and every skill script) calls through ctx.tool(...). Each bundle's SKILL.md documents its setup: dependencies (declared in the bundle's own pyproject.toml), environment variables, weights, and quirks.

Both tables are generated — regenerate after adding a bundle:
uv run gap skills table --format markdown --kind skill # and --kind toolTool and policy bundles now own their own pyproject.toml; install them per-bundle with uv run gap skills install <bundle> (or --all), not via top-level extras. From the GaP checkout:
cd ../graph-as-policy
uv sync # engine + sim baseline (LIBERO included)
uv run gap skills install --all # every bundle in this registry
uv run gap skills install sam3 grounding-dino geometry # …or pick a subset
CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda uv run gap skills install curobo # CuRobo compiles CUDA at install
uv run gap skills check --download # verify bundles + prefetch model weightsuv.lock pins the exact environment of the acceptance benchmark run. Two deliberate knobs keep it solvable (documented in pyproject.toml): sam3's over-strict numpy==1.26 metadata pin is relaxed via override-dependencies, and nvidia-curobo builds unisolated against the environment's torch.
uv run gap skills check # per-bundle PASS/WARN/FAIL; non-zero exit on FAIL
uv run gap skills check --download # + prefetch model weights (HF_TOKEN for gated repos)
uv run gap skills table # the catalog above (--format markdown|json)
uv run gap check # capability report: which bundles can run HERE
uv run gap tools list # the flat tool catalog with live schemasgap skills check runs the engine-side format validation (frontmatter shape per bundle kind, referenced resource paths, allowed_tools resolution, declared type names, one extra per bundle) plus an import probe that maps missing dependencies to their install line — the same install-verification step the GaP quickstart runs. Missing weights are a WARN, not a FAIL — nothing installs behind your back.
gap check answers the operational question instead: per bundle, are the deps importable, the declared gap.requires: met (GPU, env vars), the weights cached — and which skills are therefore runnable right now, with a fix hint per failure.
This repo is one skill registry — the canonical example. GaP merges any number of them by precedence (your lab's fork can shadow individual bundles here): gap registry init scaffolds a new one, gap registry add <name> <path> layers it on top, gap registry list shows the active set. See the engine's docs/skills.md.
One bundle = one directory = one PR. Scaffold it:
uv run gap skills new my-skill --kind skill # or --kind toolThat creates the layout (SKILL.md + scripts/ or tools.py) and a unit-test skeleton (tests/test_my_skill.py); then:
name == dirname,third-person description ending in a "Use when…" sentence — it is the coordinator's entire view of your bundle), GaP extensions under the gap: key (allowed_tools, exit_conditions, canonical_scripts, …).
gap.requires: block({gpu: true, env: [MY_API_KEY], env_any: [...], weights: true}; requires: {} when it needs nothing — mandatory for tool bundles, the test suite enforces it). gap check derives runnability from this. Bundles that download weights may add a filesystem-only weights_cached() -> bool | None next to prefetch() in tools.py.
pyproject.toml (empty list if it has none) and run uv lock.
tools.py must not importtorch/transformers; load weights on first call (the test suite enforces this).
gap.testing (FakeContext,make_test_observation) — flesh out the scaffolded test; uv run gap skills test my-skill (or plain uv run pytest tests -q) must stay green on a workstation without a robot or accelerator; model-touching smokes go behind the gpu marker.
uv run gap skills check && uv run gap skills test my-skill && uv run pytest tests -qThe full authoring guide — bundle anatomy, the skill-facing ctx API, exit-condition design, streaming skills — is in gap/docs/skills.md.
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json indexes every bundle, so this checkout doubles as a Claude Code plugin marketplace: the same SKILL.md files that drive GaP's graph generation are loadable as agent skills.
To drive GaP itself from Claude Code — search these registries, check capabilities, run/generate graphs, author new tested bundles — install the engine's agent skill from the GaP repo (it also re-exports this registry's bundles, so one marketplace covers both):
claude plugin marketplace add graph-robots/graph-as-policy
claude plugin install gap@gapMIT for this repo's code and docs; model weights and the pinned upstream packages (SAM3, Grounding DINO, cuRobo, …) keep their own licenses — see gap/NOTICE.md for the attribution table.
