Excerpt

Process Capture

Capture successful multi-step workflows as reusable skills so future sessions can replay them.

When to Use

Activate after completing any task that meets ALL of these criteria:

It took 3 or more distinct steps (tool calls).
It is likely to recur -- either the user said so, or the task type is common (deploy, report generation, data pipeline, etc.).
No existing skill already covers it (check skills/ first).

After such a task, ask the user: "This took several steps. Want me to save it as a reusable skill?" If the user agrees (or you are in hands-off autonomy mode), capture the skill.

Approach

Captured skill format

Create skills/{task-name}/SKILL.md with this structure:
