Skill content
View source on GitHubname: skill-builder description: Automatically detect source types and build AI skills using Skill Seekers. Use when the user wants to create skills from documentation, repos, PDFs, videos, or other knowledge sources.
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
- Detect source type from the user's input
- Generate or fetch config using
generate_configorfetch_configif needed - Estimate scope with
estimate_pagesfor documentation sites - Scrape the source using the appropriate scraping tool
- Enhance with
enhance_skillif the user wants AI-powered improvements - Package with
package_skillfor the target platform - Export to vector DB if requested using
export_to_*tools
