SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you convert a one-off conversation or workflow into a reusable Claude skill, so the process can be repeated consistently instead of recreated from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interviews the user to clarify the skill's purpose, trigger, inputs, and expected output.
  • Drafts a structured skill specification with phases, fallback behavior, and supporting files when needed.
  • Useful for turning ad hoc problem-solving, project know-how, or repeated operational steps into a shareable skill.

Quick Start

Use the capture-skill to interview me about the workflow I want to preserve and draft a new skill specification from the answers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a Claude Code conversation into a reusable skill?▼

To turn a Claude Code conversation into a reusable skill, use an interview-driven capture process to clarify the workflow's triggers, inputs, process phases, and outputs, generating a structured skill specification with frontmatter.

What is the best way to document ad hoc workflows for automation?▼

The best way to document ad hoc workflows for automation is capturing the repeated operational steps into a structured skill specification, preserving task scope and defining fallback behavior for consistent execution.

How does interview-driven workflow capture work for skill authoring?▼

Interview-driven workflow capture works by prompting you to clarify a task's purpose and expected output, then drafting that defined behavior into a structured skill specification with process phases and supporting files.

Do I need specific dependencies to create a structured skill specification?▼

No specific dependencies are required to create a structured skill specification. The capture process relies solely on an interview to define behavior and generate frontmatter fields for name, description, and argument hints.

Can I define fallback behavior when converting workflows into skills?▼

Yes, you can define fallback behavior when converting workflows into skills. The capture process drafts a structured skill specification that explicitly includes process phases and fallback behavior alongside standard outputs.
