SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires qmd, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

SkillDistiller extracts expert guidance that’s buried in chats and turns it into reusable Claude Code skills that teach behavioral dispositions rather than brittle rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversation pattern extraction: Pulls out four guidance types—corrections, questions/probes, quality gates, and analysis modes.
  • Collaborative co-editing: Presents extracted patterns one at a time so you can approve, edit wording, adjust generalization level, or reject.
  • Skill generation & verification: Writes a new SKILL.md using the behavioral dispositions template and supports later verification against session evidence.

Quick Start

Run SkillDistiller and tell it which transcript source to analyze (current session, a session id, or a file path) so it can extract patterns and generate a permanent replayable skill.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract reusable skills from Claude Code conversation transcripts?

Conversation pattern extraction pulls expert guidance from chats by identifying four behavioral types: corrections, questions/probes, quality gates, and analysis modes, converting them into a permanent replayable skill file.

What is the best way to turn conversation guidance into a Claude Code skill?

Taxonomy-based extraction distinguishes conversation guidance by categorizing extracted patterns into corrections, questions/probes, quality gates, and analysis modes, ensuring the resulting skill teaches behavioral dispositions rather than rigid rules.

Can I analyze stored transcripts to confirm behavioral patterns across multiple sessions?

Yes, SkillDistiller supports cross-conversation pattern confirmation by analyzing stored transcripts from a session id or file path, allowing you to validate expert behavioral guidance across multiple sessions before generating a skill.

How do I verify generated Claude Code skills against session evidence?

Verify generated skills against session evidence using the built-in verification support, which checks the SKILL.md behavioral dispositions against the original conversation transcript to ensure accurate pattern extraction.

Does SkillDistiller allow collaborative editing during skill distillation?

Yes, collaborative co-editing is supported during skill distillation; the tool presents extracted conversation patterns one at a time so you can approve, edit wording, adjust generalization level, or reject them before final skill generation.

What dependencies do I need to run transcript analysis for skill distillation?

To run transcript analysis for skill distillation, you need the qmd dependency installed in your environment, along with access to Claude Code conversation transcripts from a current session, session id, or file path.
