extract-component

A skill that turns useful methods from a conversation into reusable Claude Code components. It can create skills, commands, or agents depending on whether the result is a method, an operation sequence, or a specialized role.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save a debugging approach, build or deployment process, data workflow, or other repeatable conversation pattern as a Claude Code component.
Why use it?
It saves effective workflows so they can be reused instead of reconstructed from scratch in later conversations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

extract-component scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Extract Component

Overview

Analyze the current conversation history and extract reusable patterns into Claude Code components — Skills, Commands, or Agents. This skill identifies valuable methodology, operation sequences, and decision workflows from the conversation and generates properly formatted component files.

Intent Classification

When the user triggers this skill, determine the extraction intent:

  1. Explicit type — User specifies what they want (e.g., "extract a skill", "make this a command")
  2. Auto-detect — User wants extraction but hasn't specified the type (e.g., "extract pattern", "save this workflow")

Component Type Guidelines

  • Skill — A methodology, technique, or approach for solving a category of problems. Skills describe how to think about a problem, with progressive disclosure of details. Best for: debugging strategies, review processes, design methodologies, domain-specific expertise.
  • Command — A concrete sequence of operations that can be executed with parameters. Commands are action-oriented with clear inputs and outputs. Best for: build workflows, deployment steps, data processing pipelines, repetitive multi-step tasks.
  • Agent — An autonomous workflow that requires decision-making, branching logic, and tool usage. Agents operate independently within defined boundaries. Best for: code review workflows, test generation, documentation creation, complex analysis tasks.

Execution

Route to the /skill-extractor:extract command with the user's intent:

  1. If the user specified a type, pass it as an argument (e.g., /skill-extractor:extract skill)
  2. If auto-detect, pass no type argument — the command will analyze and recommend

Invoke the command: /skill-extractor:extract $ARGUMENTS

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

extract-component is a skill published in the GitHub repository DropFan/claude-code-plugins (7 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 463 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
