Skillify

Turn a proven workflow into a reusable skill package. Preserve repeatable behavior, not transcript noise.

Philosophy

Start with 2-3 focused surfaces and capture the smallest validated workflow.

First-Principles Gate

• Desired outcome: create only the smallest reusable skill package that has evidence, triggers, boundaries, evals, and a validation route.
• User-specific constraints: interview for missing evidence, prefer Skill SDK package shape, avoid packaging transcript noise, and use the SDK proof ladder before release claims.
• Rejected copied assumption: any repeated workflow deserves a new skill.
• Fundamental constraints: repeatability must be evidenced; destination and owner must be known; the package must include contract and evals.
• Smallest effective mechanism: build, skip, extend, or document based on first-principles artifact fit.
• Artifact decision: BUILD_SKILL.
• Rejected alternatives: creating a skill without owner or trigger proof, using broad discovery as proof, or publishing before validation.
• Evidence required: source evidence, first package validation, strict audit, and scenario-quality receipt.
• Validation proof: run strict audit and ./bin/ask skills package verify <skill-path> --json --robot before broader release checks.
• Stop or pivot condition: if source evidence cannot prove triggers, inputs, outputs, and validation, return a plan and block creation.

When To Use

• The user asks to skillify, create a skill, save a workflow, package a process, or make reusable guidance.
• The user asks to look across recent work, sessions, memories, telemetry, or Chronicle for repeated workflows worth packaging.
• A completed session has repeatable triggers, known inputs, expected outputs, and a validation route.
• The output should be a canonical skill package, not a one-off answer, doc note, or hook.

Required Inputs

• Source evidence or permission to discover it, destination path, owner, success criteria, side-effect class, one realistic trigger, and one validation command.
