SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a successful multi-step conversation or workflow into a reusable, discoverable skill is tedious and error-prone. This Skill guides the creation of a properly structured SKILL.md file with valid frontmatter so workflows can be saved and invoked again. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workflow Extraction: Reviews conversation history to generalize a demonstrated process (debugging approach, review checklist, implementation pattern) into a reusable skill with steps, decision points, and quality checks. - Guided Clarification: Asks targeted questions when no clear workflow emerges, covering desired outcome, workspace versus personal scope, and checklist versus full workflow format. - Iterative Refinement: Drafts the skill, identifies ambiguous or weak sections, and iterates with the user before finalizing. - Use Case: After walking through a repeatable code-review methodology with the assistant, invoke this Skill to capture that methodology as a permanent SKILL.md that can be triggered in future sessions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn the workflow we just followed into a reusable skill saved as a SKILL.md file.

Frequently Asked Questions about create-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a reusable skill from a conversation?▼

Invoke the create-skill workflow after demonstrating a multi-step process. It reviews the conversation history, extracts the steps, decision points, and quality criteria, then drafts a SKILL.md file you can refine and save.

What should a SKILL.md file contain?▼

A SKILL.md file needs YAML frontmatter with at least a name and description for discovery, followed by Markdown body instructions that define the operational workflow loaded when the skill activates.

Should a skill be workspace-scoped or personal?▼

It depends on reuse scope. Workspace-scoped skills apply to a single project and its conventions, while personal skills apply across all your projects. The skill asks this clarifying question when the intended scope is unclear.

When should I not create a skill from a workflow?▼

Avoid creating a skill for one-off tasks or workflows unlikely to repeat. Skills add value when a process, checklist, or methodology will be invoked multiple times across sessions.

How do I improve a draft skill that feels ambiguous?▼

The workflow identifies the most ambiguous or weak parts of the draft and asks targeted questions about them. Iterate on those sections until the steps and completion criteria are unambiguous.
