skill-seekers — Claude Code plugin: skills from 17 source types
Turns documentation sites, GitHub repos, PDFs and 13 more source types into skills and RAG knowledge. Useful when an agent needs to read someone else's docs.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install skill-seekers@claude-communityWhat skill-seekers does
The plugin sits on top of the skill-seekers package, so install that first: pip install skill-seekers[mcp]. It bundles an MCP server with 35 tools that pull content from documentation sites, GitHub repos, PDFs, videos and 13 other source types, package the result for 16+ LLM platforms, and export to Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS or Qdrant. Three slash commands ship alongside, plus a skill-builder skill Claude picks up on its own.
The commands split the work: /skill-seekers:create-skill <source> detects the source type and builds a skill, /skill-seekers:sync-config <config> checks config URLs against the live docs, and /skill-seekers:install-skill <source> runs the whole chain from fetch to install. Add --enhance to the last one for AI enhancement. Target platform goes in --target, for instance --target langchain.
By default the MCP server runs locally through python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp. To point at a hosted server instead, edit .mcp.json and set your own address in the url field. Without that entry the local process is what you get.
What it helps with
- build a skill from the React docs site
- scrape the Flask repo and package it for LangChain
- export a finished skill to Chroma
- check config URLs against current documentation
- turn a PDF or Slack export into a knowledge base
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a skill from the React docs:
/skill-seekers:create-skill https://react.dev - Scrape
pallets/flaskand package it for LangChain - Run the full workflow with enhancement:
/skill-seekers:install-skill https://fastapi.tiangolo.com --enhance

# Skill Seekers — Claude Code Plugin
Transform 17 source types into AI-ready skills and RAG knowledge, directly from Claude Code.
## Installation
### From the Official Plugin Directory
```
/plugin install skill-seekers@claude-plugin-directory
```
Or browse for it in `/plugin > Discover`.
### Local Installation (for development)
```bash
claude --plugin-dir ./path/to/skill-seekers-plugin
```
### Prerequisites
The plugin requires `skill-seekers` to be installed:
```bash
pip install skill-seekers[mcp]
```
## What's Included
### MCP Server (35 tools)
The plugin bundles the Skill Seekers MCP server providing tools for:
- Scraping documentation, GitHub repos, PDFs, videos, and 13 other source types
- Packaging skills for 16+ LLM platforms
- Exporting to vector databases (Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS, Qdrant)
- Managing configs, workflows, and sources
### Slash Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/skill-seekers:create-skill <source>` | Create a skill from any source (auto-detects type) |
| `/skill-seekers:sync-config <config>` | Sync config URLs against live docs |
| `/skill-seekers:install-skill <source>` | End-to-end: fetch, scrape, enhance, package, install |
### Agent Skill
The **skill-builder** skill is automatically available to Claude. It detects source types and uses the appropriate MCP tools to build skills autonomously.
## Usage Examples
```
# Create a skill from a documentation site
/skill-seekers:create-skill https://react.dev
# Create from a GitHub repo, targeting LangChain
/skill-seekers:create-skill pallets/flask --target langchain
# Full install workflow with AI enhancement
/skill-seekers:install-skill https://fastapi.tiangolo.com --enhance
# Sync an existing config
/skill-seekers:sync-config react
```
Or just ask Claude naturally:
> "Create an AI skill from the React documentation"
> "Scrape the Flask GitHub repo and package it for OpenAI"
> "Export my skill to a Chroma vector database"
The skill-builder agent skill will automatically detect the intent and use the right tools.
## Remote MCP Alternative
By default, the plugin runs the MCP server locally via `python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp`. To use a remote server instead, edit `.mcp.json`:
```json
{
"skill-seekers": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://your-hosted-server.com/mcp"
}
}
```
## Supported Source Types
Documentation (web), GitHub repos, PDFs, Word docs, EPUBs, videos, local codebases, Jupyter notebooks, HTML files, OpenAPI specs, AsciiDoc, PowerPoint, RSS/Atom feeds, man pages, Confluence, Notion, Slack/Discord exports.
