SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires claude, codex, lsof, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you convert an ad hoc conversation workflow into a durable, reusable agent capability instead of leaving important patterns trapped in a single thread.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extracts the durable workflow: Identifies the stable pattern (job, trigger conditions, inputs/outputs, sequence, judgment rules) while filtering out thread-specific noise.
  • Chooses the correct skill placement: Decides whether the skill belongs globally under ~/.agents/skills/<name> or within a project under <project-path>/.agents/skills/<name>.
  • Produces a real skill deliverable: Writes a high-quality SKILL.md that a future agent can discover reliably and follow correctly.
  • Improves via evaluation (when it matters): Adds lightweight eval/eval-suite structure and iteration rather than blindly transcribing the conversation.
  • Uses clean skill structure: Encourages minimal shape (SKILL.md only, or plus references/scripts) based on what must be reused.

Quick Start

Use the conversation-to-skill skill to convert the current discussion into a reusable agent skill by extracting the stable workflow, deciding placement, and writing the skill files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn an agent chat workflow into a reusable skill?

To turn an agent chat workflow into a reusable skill, extract durable instructions, triggers, inputs/outputs, and judgment criteria from the conversation while filtering out thread-specific noise. This produces a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter that future agents can reliably discover and execute.

What is the best way to standardize a repeatable collaboration pattern for agent teams?

Standardizing a repeatable collaboration pattern involves identifying the stable workflow sequence and judgment rules, then packaging them into a YAML-frontmatter SKILL.md deliverable. This transforms ad hoc processes into future-run playbooks, optionally bundling self-contained evaluation or tooling scripts when warranted.

How do I package an agent capability from an ad hoc conversation?

Packaging an agent capability from an ad hoc conversation requires extracting the durable workflow and writing it into a high-quality SKILL.md file. The process removes incidental thread noise and can add lightweight eval-suite structures to iterate and validate the capability.

Can I choose where to place the generated skill files globally or within a project?

You can choose skill placement by deciding whether the capability belongs globally under ~/.agents/skills/<name> or within a specific project under <project-path>/.agents/skills/<name>. This ensures the skill is discovered correctly based on its intended scope.

Does converting a prompt to a playbook require external dependencies?

Converting a prompt to a playbook relies on dependencies including claude, codex, and lsof. These tools support the extraction and evaluation processes needed to generate the final YAML-frontmatter SKILL.md and any associated scripts or references.

What is included in the skill deliverable when converting a conversation workflow?

The skill deliverable includes a high-quality SKILL.md file and optionally bundles self-contained evaluation or tooling components in scripts, references, or assets directories. It encourages a minimal shape structure based strictly on what must be reused for the specific workflow.
