SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts a skill written for another AI coding assistant into an Amplifier-native skill that follows the Agent Skills specification with Amplifier extensions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill Porting: Translates source-platform conventions into Amplifier frontmatter, tools, and paths.
  • Convention Mapping: Identifies what to keep, translate, or remove when adapting a skill from Claude Code, Cursor, or similar platforms.
  • Bundle Fit Guidance: Helps align the adapted skill with Amplifier bundle conventions and existing skill structure.
  • Use Case: A developer has a working .md skill from another platform and wants it rewritten so it can be invoked directly in Amplifier.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to adapt your source skill into an Amplifier SKILL.md and save it in the target Amplifier skills directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about adapt-skill

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I port a skill from Cursor or Claude Code to Amplifier?▼

Porting a skill requires translating source-platform frontmatter and tool names into Amplifier conventions, then restructuring the content into a bundle-aligned SKILL.md file that satisfies the Agent Skills specification.

What is Amplifier skill adaptation and when do I need it?▼

Skill adaptation is the conversion of a foreign AI assistant skill into an Amplifier-native SKILL.md file. You need it when you want to invoke a working skill from another platform directly within Amplifier.

Can I use an existing .md skill file from another platform with Amplifier?▼

You cannot directly use a raw .md skill file. It must undergo convention mapping to translate platform-specific frontmatter and execution models into an Amplifier-compatible SKILL.md file.

What is the best way to translate source-platform conventions into Amplifier frontmatter?▼

The best way is to perform a precise mapping of platform-specific fields and tool names, deciding what to keep, translate, or remove, to align the restructured SKILL.md with Amplifier bundle conventions.

Does adapting a skill to Amplifier require bundle alignment?▼

Yes, adapting a skill requires bundle alignment. The process ensures the translated frontmatter, tool names, and execution models fit existing Amplifier skill structures and bundle conventions.
