SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates converting Claude Code slash commands into the Skills format, enabling migration from ./commands/* to ./skills/*/SKILL.md with proper frontmatter transformation and directory restructuring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated frontmatter transformation: Rename commands to gerund forms and enhance descriptions for invocation triggers.
  • Directory restructuring: Move from ./commands/... to ./skills/... following the category-prefix convention.

  • Use Case: Convert a large set of slash-commands to skills whenever you migrate or standardize your skill library.

Quick Start

To start a batch conversion, instruct the system to "convert all commands in ./commands to skills" and provide any necessary options.
