genre-skill-builder

What problem does it solve?

This meta-skill enables researchers to systematically generate fully formed writing skills from corpus-driven genre analysis, eliminating ad-hoc, trial-and-error skill creation. It orchestrates corpus definition, model selection, cluster discovery, and phased skill generation to produce complete, plug-and-play writing guides for qualitative sociology research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end skill generation: from corpus analysis to SKILL.md, phase files, cluster profiles, techniques, and plugin metadata.
• Model-driven scaffolding: bases new skills on existing templates (e.g., argument-builder, interview-bookends) to ensure consistent structure.
• Project integration templates: outputs include integration hooks for repository projects and progress-tracking scaffolds.
• Cluster-aware guidance: defines multiple writing clusters with benchmarks and exemplars to tailor guidance.
• CLAUDE plugin readiness: produces a complete plugin structure suitable for Claude Code ecosystem.

Quick Start

1. Define the target writing domain (e.g., Introduction sections of qualitative sociology articles) and choose a base skill model to learn from.
2. Run Phase 0 to establish scope, corpus location, and output skill name; proceed to Phase 1 for corpus immersion.
3. Review Phase 3 cluster definitions and generate the final skill directory in the output plugin structure.
