SKILL.md
Skill Extractor
Transform repeated conversation patterns into reusable SKILL.md files.
Workflow
1. Gather Evidence
Ask: "Share a conversation excerpt where Claude did this task well, or describe a task you do repeatedly."
Accept:
- Pasted conversation excerpts
- Task descriptions with examples
- Multiple examples to find common patterns
2. Identify the Pattern
Analyze for these elements:
| Element | Find This |
|---|---|
| Trigger | What phrase starts this workflow? |
| Input | What does user provide? |
| Transform | What does Claude do with it? |
| Output | What format/structure results? |
| Quality | What separates good from bad? |
3. Validate
Confirm: "It sounds like you want to [workflow]. Is that right?"
Refine: "What would you change? What context made it work?"
4. Generate SKILL.md
Output a complete skill file following the format in references/skill-template.md.
5. Test
Run the extracted skill on fresh input. Iterate until it works reliably.
Skill Archetypes
| Type | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Transformer | Format A → Format B | Notes → Email |
| Analyzer | Input → Assessment | Code → Review |
| Generator | Parameters → Content | Topic → Blog |
| Synthesizer | Many → One | Feedback → Themes |
Viability Check
Strong candidates:
- Done 3+ times with similar structure
- Clear input → output transformation
- Required specific prompting to work
- Explainable to a colleague
Weak candidates:
- One-off creative tasks
- Simple Q&A (no workflow)
- Requires external data
- Too vague to define success
Output Deliverables
Provide:
- SKILL.md — Complete, ready to use
- Test prompt — Verify it works
- Usage examples — How to invoke
- Refinement notes — Next iteration
Example Extraction
User says: "I keep asking Claude to turn meeting notes into weekly updates."
Extracted pattern:
- Trigger: "write weekly update" / "summarize this week"
- Input: Bullet points from meetings
- Transform: Organize by Accomplishments/In Progress/Blockers
- Output: Professional email format
- Quality: Outcome-focused, not activity-focused
Result: See references/example-extractions.md for the full weekly-update-writer skill.

context-continuity
High-fidelity context transfer protocol for moving conversations between AI agents. Preserves decision tempo, open loops, and critical context with graceful degradation. Use when the user says "transfer," "handoff," "continue this in another chat," or needs to work around context window limits. Produces structured artifacts (Minimal ~200 words, Full ~1000 words). DO NOT trigger on simple "summarize our conversation" requests—only when transfer intent is explicit.

silicon-doppelganger
Build psychometrically accurate personal proxy agents for the PAIRL Conductor system. Extracts personality, decision heuristics, and values into portable schemas that enable AI agents to negotiate, filter, and act on a principal's behalf.

requesting-code-review
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements. Dispatches three independent reviewers in parallel.

fabric-patterns
Run danielmiessler/fabric CLI patterns for content analysis, extraction, summarization, writing, security analysis, and more. Use when user asks to "use fabric," "run a pattern," "extract wisdom," "summarize with fabric," or when piping content through AI patterns would be more effective than inline processing. Triggers include "fabric," "pattern," "extract wisdom," "summarize this article," "analyze this threat report," or any reference to a specific fabric pattern name.
