github-generate

You convert a GitHub repository into Claude Code skills by running the cowork generate command on a target repository, which analyzes the code structure and extracts APIs, documentation, and runnable modules to produce ready-to-use SKILL.md files.

Generating Claude Code skills from a GitHub repo produces per-module SKILL.md files alongside an llms.txt catalog, organizing the extracted APIs, documentation, and code structure into discrete, deployable skill modules for easy review.

You can customize the target platform and programming language when generating skills from GitHub repos by passing specific flags like --lang and --a in the cowork generate command, allowing you to adapt the output for environments like Rust and claude-code.

The best way to extract APIs and documentation from GitHub code for LLM use is to automate the code analysis process using a generation workflow that parses the repository structure and outputs an llms.txt catalog with modular skill files.

You do not need any external dependencies or components to generate skills from a GitHub repository, as the generation workflow operates independently without requiring additional installed packages or component libraries to parse the code structure.
