SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Claudeception automates the extraction of reusable knowledge from work sessions, codifying it into Claude Code skills for future reuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automatic skill extraction: when meaningful debugging, trial-and-error discoveries, or workflow optimizations occur, Claudeception evaluates and, if valuable, saves a new skill.
Activation hooks: supports automatic evaluation at startup and after sessions, and manual prompts like /claudeception or "save this as a skill".
Skill templates: uses standard Claude Code skill templates (SKILL.md) to ensure consistent metadata, versioning, and references.

Quick Start

After finishing a task, invoke CLAUDECEPTION via the command or let the activation hook run to extract and save a new Claude Code skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I save reusable debugging knowledge as a Claude Code skill?▼

Claudeception automatically extracts reusable knowledge from non-obvious debugging, trial-and-error discoveries, and workflow optimizations. It evaluates these work sessions and codifies the hard-won knowledge into Claude Code skills for future reuse.

How do I automate skill extraction from my coding work sessions?▼

You can automate skill extraction using Claudeception's activation hooks, which evaluate work sessions at startup and after completion. You can also manually trigger extraction by typing /claudeception or 'save this as a skill' to generate a new Claude Code skill.

What format does Claude Code use to store extracted workflow knowledge?▼

Extracted workflow knowledge is stored using standard Claude Code skill templates. The SKILL.md format requires frontmatter containing name, description, author, and version, alongside a minimal Markdown body and optional scripts to govern activation and references.

Can I extract a skill after optimizing tooling and configuration tasks?▼

Yes, Claudeception supports extracting skills after optimizing tooling and configuration tasks. It evaluates workflow optimizations across coding, config, and tooling tasks, generating a new skill if the discovered knowledge is deemed valuable for future reuse.

Do I need to manually trigger skill extraction every time I debug?▼

No, manual triggering is not required for every debugging session. Claudeception supports automatic evaluation hooks at startup and after sessions, allowing it to autonomously detect and extract valuable debugging knowledge without requiring a manual /claudeception command.

What are the limitations of automating continuous learning for AI agents?▼

A limitation of automating continuous learning is that extraction requires non-obvious debugging or meaningful workflow optimizations to trigger. Routine coding tasks will not generate skills, and the system relies on standard SKILL.md frontmatter to properly govern activation and storage.
