name: 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

  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
