What it does
`jgs-se-knowledge-packs` turns open systems-engineering bodies of knowledge into skills an agent loads on demand. Instead of hazy recollection it reads the right chapter of reconstructed reference notes and answers with pack and chapter citations. For example `/sebok systems of systems` opens the SEBoK material on systems of systems. The catalogue has 74 packs, 8 signposts and an `/se` orchestrator: it takes a question, picks one or more packs, reads them and answers with citations. The orchestrator carries no content and runs only when invoked directly. Only genuinely open sources go in: public domain (NASA, US DoD) and free licenses such as SEBoK. Packs follow the Agent Skills standard and open in Claude Code, Copilot CLI and Amp without changes.
Who it is for. Systems engineers and requirements analysts who work with an agent and want answers from SEBoK, NASA and domain standards with chapter references.
Good fit when
- The EARS requirement patterns must be recalled while writing requirements.
- A systems-of-systems question must be answered from a SEBoK chapter.
- The agent should answer from the NASA handbook with section references.
- It is unclear which pack fits: the question goes to the `/se` orchestrator.
Not a fit when
- The topic is outside systems engineering: the packs cover only that domain.
- Paid or closed standards are needed: the catalogue does not include them.
- The answer must be an exact quote from the original: the packs hold reconstructed notes.
Example request
/se Which EARS patterns fit requirements for emergency mode and which chapters describe them?Limitations
The packs hold reconstructed reference notes rather than original texts, so check the source when quoting in documents. The installer code is MIT licensed and pack content follows the license of its own source as stated in `NOTICE`. The installer needs Python 3.9 or newer and the packs work in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI and Amp. There are many packs and installing the whole catalogue for a single topic is unnecessary: extra skills take space in the list. The catalogue is limited to systems engineering.
How to disable. Delete the `~/.claude/skills/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/` folder entirely or individual packs inside it and restart the agent.
FAQ
How do I install the whole catalogue?
Clone the repository and run `python install.py`: packs land in `~/.claude/skills/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/`.
How do I install one pack?
Run `npx skills add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs --skill sebok`, replacing the pack name.
What does the /se command do?
It takes a question, picks suitable packs, reads them and answers with pack and chapter citations.
Which sources are included?
Only open ones: public domain such as NASA and the US DoD and free licenses such as SEBoK.
Is MCP or an API key needed?
No, the packs are plain Markdown and run without keys or servers.
