# Create Skill

Create Skill converts documents, repositories, videos, PDFs, and other sources into an AI-ready skill by running the skill-seekers create command. Use it when you want to package knowledge from a URL, GitHub repo, PDF, video, notebook, or local directory into a reusable skill.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/tree/development/distribution/claude-plugin/commands ~/.claude/skills/commands
```

## README

# Create Skill

Create an AI-ready skill from a source. The source type is auto-detected.

## Usage

```
/skill-seekers:create-skill <source> [--preset <level>] [--output <dir>]
```

## Instructions

When the user provides a source via `$ARGUMENTS`, run the `skill-seekers create` command to generate a skill.

1. Parse the arguments: extract the source (first argument) and any flags.
2. If no `--preset` is specified, default to `quick` for fast results.
3. If no `--output` is specified, default to `./output`.
4. Run the create command:
   ```bash
   skill-seekers create "$SOURCE" --preset quick --output "$OUTPUT"
   ```
5. After completion, read the generated `SKILL.md` and summarize what was created.
6. If the user wants to target a specific platform (e.g., Claude, OpenAI, LangChain), run the package command after:
   ```bash
   skill-seekers package "$SKILL_DIR" --target "$PLATFORM"
   ```

## Presets

- `-p quick` — 1-2 minutes, basic skill
- `-p standard` — 5-10 minutes, good coverage
- `-p comprehensive` — 20-60 minutes, full analysis

## Source Types (auto-detected)

- **URL** (https://...) — Documentation scraping
- **owner/repo** or github.com URL — GitHub repo analysis
- **file.pdf** — PDF extraction
- **file.ipynb** — Jupyter notebook
- **file.docx** — Word document
- **file.epub** — EPUB book
- **YouTube/Vimeo URL** — Video transcript
- **./directory** — Local codebase analysis
- **file.yaml** with OpenAPI — API spec
- **file.pptx** — PowerPoint
- **file.adoc** — AsciiDoc
- **file.html** — HTML page
- **file.rss** — RSS/Atom feed
- **cmd.1** — Man page
