SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Knowledge gained in a single Claude session often vanishes when the session ends. Skill Forge automatically turns non-obvious learnings into reusable skills that persist across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic forging of insights into structured SKILL.md files to grow a self-improving skill library.
  • Preserve origin, context, and failed attempts to help future sessions learn from past challenges.
  • Use cases include capturing debugging discoveries, patterns, and effective tactics that emerge during problem solving.

Quick Start

Identify a non-obvious discovery, draft the Pattern, prepare a minimal Forge SKILL.md, and place it under skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md. The system will index the new skill for future sessions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn Claude session discoveries into reusable skills?▼

Skill Forge automates converting session discoveries into structured SKILL.md files. Identify a non-obvious learning, draft the pattern, prepare a minimal SKILL.md file, and place it under skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md. The system indexes it for future sessions.

What gets captured when I forge a new skill from debugging or problem solving?▼

Forged skills preserve origin, context, failed attempts, and activation triggers in structured format. This documentation helps future sessions learn from past challenges and apply proven patterns to similar problems.

Can I build a skill library without external installations?▼

Yes. Skill Forge requires no external installations and uses the built-in workflow to generate skills. You only need to identify discoveries and structure them as SKILL.md files in your skills directory.

How do I prevent knowledge from disappearing when a Claude session ends?▼

Skill Forge automatically persists session learnings as reusable skills across sessions. Instead of losing discoveries when a session closes, they become indexed skills available to future Claude interactions.

What types of discoveries work best for forging into skills?▼

Non-obvious learnings from debugging, problem-solving patterns, and effective tactics work best. Skill Forge is designed to capture insights that emerge during complex work and make them reproducible across different sessions.

Do I need to format discoveries in a specific way before forging?▼

Yes. Prepare a minimal SKILL.md structured format including the pattern discovery, origin, failed attempts, and activation triggers. The skill-forge workflow then generates the complete structured file for your skill library.
