## What it does

skill-builder detects the source type from the user’s input and routes it to the matching scraper. Documentation uses `scrape_docs`, repositories use `scrape_github`, PDFs use `scrape_pdf`, and videos use `scrape_video`. It also handles local codebases and formats such as HTML, OpenAPI, Jupyter, and PPTX.

Its workflow can generate or fetch a config, estimate documentation scope, scrape the source, enhance the result, and package it for a target platform. The Skill Seekers MCP server exposes 40 tools, including exports to Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS, and Qdrant.

Access to the Skill Seekers MCP server is required. The skill supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --skill skill-seekers -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/skill-seekers/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --skill skill-seekers -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --skill skill-seekers -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers skill-seekers
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --skill skill-seekers -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --path skills/skill-seekers
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers --skill skill-seekers -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/tree/HEAD/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a skill from a documentation site
- turn a GitHub repository into an AI skill
- convert a PDF or video into LLM-ready knowledge
- sync an existing skill with its source
- export a skill to a vector database

## Example prompts
- Create a skill from this documentation and detect the source type automatically.
- Turn `owner/repo` into a skill and package it for Claude Code.
- Process `manual.pdf`, enhance the resulting skill, and export it to Qdrant.

# Skill Builder

You have access to the Skill Seekers MCP server which provides 40 tools for converting knowledge sources into AI-ready skills.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to create an AI skill from a documentation site, GitHub repo, PDF, video, or other source
- Needs to convert documentation into a format suitable for LLM consumption
- Wants to update or sync existing skills with their source documentation
- Needs to export skills to vector databases (Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS, Qdrant)
- Asks about scraping, converting, or packaging documentation for AI

## Source Type Detection

Automatically detect the source type from user input:

| Input Pattern | Source Type | Tool to Use |
|---------------|-------------|-------------|
| `https://...` (not GitHub/YouTube) | Documentation | `scrape_docs` |
| `owner/repo` or `github.com/...` | GitHub | `scrape_github` |
| `*.pdf` | PDF | `scrape_pdf` |
| YouTube/Vimeo URL or video file | Video | `scrape_video` |
| Local directory path | Codebase | `scrape_codebase` |
| `*.ipynb`, `*.html`, `*.yaml` (OpenAPI), `*.adoc`, `*.pptx`, `*.rss`, `*.1`-`.8` | Various | `scrape_generic` |
| JSON config file | Unified | Use config with `scrape_docs` |

## Recommended Workflow

1. **Detect source type** from the user's input
2. **Generate or fetch config** using `generate_config` or `fetch_config` if needed
3. **Estimate scope** with `estimate_pages` for documentation sites
4. **Scrape the source** using the appropriate scraping tool
5. **Enhance** with `enhance_skill` if the user wants AI-powered improvements
6. **Package** with `package_skill` for the target platform
7. **Export to vector DB** if requested using `export_to_*` tools

## Available MCP Tools

### Config Management
- `generate_config` — Generate a scraping config from a URL
- `list_configs` — List available preset configs
- `validate_config` — Validate a config file

### Scraping (use based on source type)
- `scrape_docs` — Documentation sites
- `scrape_github` — GitHub repositories
- `scrape_pdf` — PDF files
- `scrape_video` — Video transcripts
- `scrape_codebase` — Local code analysis
- `scrape_generic` — Jupyter, HTML, OpenAPI, AsciiDoc, PPTX, RSS, manpage, Confluence, Notion, chat

### Post-processing
- `enhance_skill` — AI-powered skill enhancement
- `package_skill` — Package for target platform
- `upload_skill` — Upload to platform API
- `install_skill` — End-to-end install workflow

### Advanced
- `detect_patterns` — Design pattern detection in code
- `extract_test_examples` — Extract usage examples from tests
- `build_how_to_guides` — Generate how-to guides from tests
- `split_config` — Split large configs into focused skills
