Dev Skillify

Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.

Convert the current conversation into a reusable skill. Unlike skill-creator (which builds a skill from a description), skillify captures the actual workflow that just happened and templatizes it.

Use When

• You just completed a complex multi-step task that you'll want to repeat
• You want to formalize an ad-hoc workflow before it's lost
• Post-task: "I want to be able to do this again with one command"

Do Not Use When

• The task is one-off — won't be repeated
• The task is too project-specific — won't generalize
• A skill for this already exists → use it instead
• You haven't actually completed the task yet — dev-skillify is retrospective

Workflow

Phase 1 — Capture

• Scroll through the conversation
• Identify the actual sequence of actions taken
• Note which agents were invoked and in what order
• Note what inputs were given and what outputs were produced

Phase 2 — Generalize

• Replace specific values with placeholders (e.g., {component}, {date})
• Identify the trigger phrases that should activate this skill
• Identify which steps were necessary vs incidental

Phase 3 — Structure

Format as a skill:

---
name: {prefix}-{action}
description: {one-line — when to use}
---

# {Skill Name}

## Use When
[trigger conditions]

## Workflow
1. {step}
2. {step}
...

## Output
[expected artifact]

## Pairs With
[agents/skills]

Phase 4 — Save & Register

• Save to .claude/skills/{prefix}-{action}/SKILL.md
• Update .claude/rules/skills.md with the new entry
• Test by re-invoking it

Output

## Skillify Report

### Captured Workflow
[summary of what happened]

### Generalized Steps
[the workflow with placeholders]

### Proposed Skill
- **Name:** `{prefix}-{action}`
- **Path:** `.claude/skills/{prefix}-{action}/SKILL.md`
- **Triggers:** [list]
- **Pairs with:** [agents]

### Status
- ✅ Skill created
- ✅ rules/skills.md updated
- ✅ Tested by re-invocation

Pairs With

• skill-creator (builtin) — for from-scratch skill creation
• dev-learner — for batch pattern extraction across multiple sessions
• create-agent (builtin) — if a new agent is needed instead

Anti-patterns

• Skillifying one-off tasks
• Capturing too much detail (skills should be general)
• Capturing too little (skills should be actionable)
• Skipping the test phase
