List Available Kind Values

List all available `kind` discriminator values from the schema, dynamically.

Instructions

1. Run the schema lookup script to get all kinds:

   node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js kinds

2. If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a filter keyword, filter the output to show only matching kinds.

3. Categorize the results for easier reading:

  • **Triggers** — kinds starting with "On" (e.g., OnRecognizedIntent, OnConversationStart)
  • **Actions** — node actions (e.g., SendActivity, Question, SetVariable)
  • **Dialogs** — dialog types (e.g., AdaptiveDialog, TaskDialog, AgentDialog)
  • **Cards** — card templates (e.g., AdaptiveCardTemplate, HeroCardTemplate)
  • **Knowledge Sources** — knowledge kinds (e.g., KnowledgeSourceConfiguration)
  • **Inputs** — input kinds (e.g., AutomaticTaskInput, ManualTaskInput)

4. Present the categorized list to the user.

**Important**: Always use the script output as the source of truth. Do NOT hardcode kind values.
