SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you convert a one-off conversation or workflow into a reusable Claude skill, so the process can be repeated consistently instead of recreated from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interviews the user to clarify the skill's purpose, trigger, inputs, and expected output.
  • Drafts a structured skill specification with phases, fallback behavior, and supporting files when needed.
  • Useful for turning ad hoc problem-solving, project know-how, or repeated operational steps into a shareable skill.

Quick Start

Use the capture-skill to interview me about the workflow I want to preserve and draft a new skill specification from the answers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a Claude Code conversation into a reusable skill?

To turn a Claude Code conversation into a reusable skill, use an interview-driven capture process to clarify the workflow's triggers, inputs, process phases, and outputs, generating a structured skill specification with frontmatter.

What is the best way to document ad hoc workflows for automation?

The best way to document ad hoc workflows for automation is capturing the repeated operational steps into a structured skill specification, preserving task scope and defining fallback behavior for consistent execution.

How does interview-driven workflow capture work for skill authoring?

Interview-driven workflow capture works by prompting you to clarify a task's purpose and expected output, then drafting that defined behavior into a structured skill specification with process phases and supporting files.

Do I need specific dependencies to create a structured skill specification?

No specific dependencies are required to create a structured skill specification. The capture process relies solely on an interview to define behavior and generate frontmatter fields for name, description, and argument hints.

Can I define fallback behavior when converting workflows into skills?

Yes, you can define fallback behavior when converting workflows into skills. The capture process drafts a structured skill specification that explicitly includes process phases and fallback behavior alongside standard outputs.
