SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converting external or incoherent sources into Arcanum sigil packages is often difficult due to mismatched vocabulary, missing packaging guidance, and non-standard boundaries. Skill Transcriptor provides a structured path to translate a complete, coherent source into a reusable Arcana sigil while stripping source-specific coupling and preserving behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert a complete, coherent source into a sigil package with neutral vocabulary, clear boundaries, and an executable contract.
  • Classify the target tier (Formulae, Transmutations, Arcana) and draft a comprehensive package plan including README, SKILL.md, templates, registry updates, and roadmap items.
  • Produce artifact guidance such as a conversion report, validation plan, and observability recommendations to support lifecycle governance.
  • Use as an authoring helper to convert existing workflows or prompts into standardized Arcana sigils, with safe, auditable results.

Quick Start

Provide a complete, coherent source artifact and request a neutral Arcanum sigil package plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an existing workflow into a reusable package?

To convert an existing workflow into a reusable package, provide a complete, coherent source artifact to generate a neutral package plan with clear boundaries and executable contracts. The process applies neutral rewriting and validation before registration.

What is an Arcanum sigil package and when do I need one?

An Arcanum sigil package is a standardized output format that preserves reusable behavior from a coherent source skill while stripping source-specific coupling. You need one when translating external prompts or workflows into a governed, auditable format.

Can I use this to classify a converted skill into different tiers?

Yes, you can use this to classify a converted skill into target tiers such as Formulae, Transmutations, or Arcana. The classification occurs during the package planning phase, which also drafts README and registry updates.

How do I plan validation and observability for a converted skill?

Validation and observability planning for a converted skill is handled by generating artifact guidance, which includes a conversion report, validation plan, and observability recommendations. This ensures lifecycle governance and auditable results.

What are the limitations of converting incoherent sources into sigils?

A key limitation is that the source must already be one coherent capability; incoherent sources will not convert properly. The process requires neutral rewriting and package planning, meaning incomplete or fragmented workflows require consolidation beforehand.

Does skill-transcriptor support generating registry updates automatically?

Yes, skill-transcriptor supports generating registry updates automatically as part of drafting a comprehensive package plan. This plan also includes README files, SKILL.md templates, and roadmap items to support the output contract.
