SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers repeat the same multi-step tasks, boilerplate file creation, and manual processes without realizing these patterns could be automated as Claude Code skills. This Skill mines your codebase, git history, and session workflow for repetitive patterns and turns them into concrete, ready-to-use skill recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pattern Mining: Scans session history, co-located file groups, repeated code structures, git commit patterns, and manual process indicators like TODOs and shell scripts. - Prioritized Recommendations: Scores findings by frequency, effort saved, error risk, and reusability, then outputs 3-7 ranked suggestions with cited evidence. - Draft SKILL.md Generation: Produces complete, functional SKILL.md drafts following the official frontmatter format that can be copied directly into .claude/skills/. - Use Case: After a long development session, ask what skills you should create; the Skill detects that you repeatedly scaffold component + test + style files together and generates a component-scaffolding skill draft with evidence from your repo. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to analyze this codebase and my workflow for repetitive patterns and suggest skills I should create.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-scout

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find automation opportunities in my codebase?▼

Run a pattern analysis that scans co-located file groups, repeated code structures, git commit history, and manual process indicators like TODOs and shell scripts. Skill Scout performs this scan and outputs 3-7 prioritized skill recommendations with evidence.

How to create a custom Claude Code skill from my workflow?▼

Identify a repetitive multi-step task, then write a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter containing a name and description with trigger phrases. Skill Scout automates this by generating complete draft SKILL.md files based on patterns detected in your actual codebase.

What makes a good Claude Code skill description?▼

A good description states what the skill does and includes quoted trigger phrases so Claude knows when to auto-activate it. Task skills with side effects should set disable-model-invocation to true, while reference skills stay model-invocable.

Does skill analysis modify my repository?▼

No. The analysis uses Bash only for read-only git commands like git log, plus Glob and Grep for scanning files. The only write operation is the output file containing recommendations, written to a path you specify.

When should I not create a skill for a task?▼

Avoid creating skills for one-off tasks that will not recur, or for patterns already covered by existing skills in your .claude/skills directory. Skills deliver value only when the pattern repeats frequently enough to justify automation.
