CommunityCreate new skills when reusable gaps appear.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents repeated effort by turning recurring capability gaps discovered during real work into a reusable, actionable new skill.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automatic gap recognition: Triggers when there is a capability gap, the workflow is reusable, structured, and clearly benefits the user.
- Skill-file creation guidance: Provides a step-by-step process for creating the new SKILL.md with correct minimal YAML frontmatter and a strong, “pushy” description.
- Immediate activation loop: Instructs you to use the new skill right away for the current task to validate usefulness and refine the draft.
Use case example: When you repeatedly need to produce a specific branded client audit report format from the same set of sources and checks, generate a new skill that encodes the checklist, output structure, and one example.
Quick Start
Use self-extension whenever you notice a recurring, structured workflow gap mid-task and ask the AI to create and apply a new skill for it.
