+# Bundled Skills Registry and Chaining
+
+## Overview
+
+The bundled skills registry enables claw-code to include built-in skills with each release, similar to how bundled plugins work. This feature supports skill chaining, allowing skills to invoke and compose with other skills.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Architecture
+
+**Bundled Skills Root Discovery**: Skills are discovered from the following locations (in order of precedence):
+
+1. `<exe_dir>/../share/claw/skills/bundled` — standard FHS install layout
+2. `<exe_dir>/bundled-skills` — simple relocated layout  
+3. `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR/bundled` — dev/source-tree fallback
+4. Default fallback if above paths don't exist
+
+The directory structure mirrors the plugin system:
+```
+rust/crates/commands/bundled/
+├── example-skill/
+│   └── SKILL.md
+└── chain-example/
+    └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+### SkillOrigin Enum
+
+A new `Bundled` variant was added to the `SkillOrigin` enum:
+
+```rust
+enum SkillOrigin {
+    SkillsDir,           // User/project skills directories
+    LegacyCommandsDir,   // Legacy /commands directories
+    Bundled,             // Built-in bundled skills [NEW]
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Discovery
+
+The `discover_skill_roots()` function was updated to include bundled skills:
+- Bundled skills are added to the discovery roots with `SkillOrigin::Bundled`
+- They're loaded using the same mechanism as regular skills
+- Bundled skills have origin metadata ("bundled") in JSON output
+
+### Skill Chaining
+
+Skills can invoke other skills through standard mechanisms:
+
+1. **Slash Command Invocation**: A skill can document that it chains to another skill
+   ```
+   /skill chain-example
+   ```
+   
+2. **Tool-based Invocation**: Via the Skill tool or similar mechanisms
+
+Skills marked as "bundled" indicate they're managed by the claw-code release and persist across upgrades.
+
+## Example Bundled Skills
+
+### `example-skill`
+A simple demonstration skill showing the bundled skills feature.
+
+### `chain-example`  
+An example showing how one skill can reference and chain to other skills (e.g., `example-skill`).
+
+## Testing
+
+Three new tests were added:
+
+1. **`discovers_bundled_skills_from_binary_layout`**
+   - Verifies that `discover_skill_roots()` includes bundled skills
+   - Tests directory discovery logic
+
+2. **`bundled_skills_have_correct_origin_metadata`**
+   - Confirms `SkillOrigin::Bundled` generates correct metadata
+   - Tests JSON output format
+
+3. **`bundled_skills_are_included_in_json_output`**
+   - Verifies loaded bundled skills appear in JSON output
+   - Tests end-to-end loading flow
+
+All tests pass with:
+```bash
+cargo test -p commands --lib
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- Existing skill discovery paths unchanged
+- `SkillsDir` and `LegacyCommandsDir` origins fully preserved
+- No changes to skill file format or content
+- Bundled skills are additive; they don't replace user/project skills
+
+## Future Enhancement Points
+
+1. **Bundled Skills Registry Sync**: Auto-sync bundled skills into a system registry (similar to plugins)
+2. **Skill Dependency Resolution**: Automatic dependency discovery and loading
+3. **Skill Versioning**: Track versions of bundled skills
+4. **Skill Auto-Update**: Sync bundled skills on claw-code updates
+

+- **Commands Crate**: `rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs` (implementation location)
