Skill Seekers converts documentation, code repositories, PDFs, videos, notebooks, and other sources into structured knowledge assets for AI skills, retrieval systems, and coding assistants. Developers use it to prepare source material for tools such as Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline, with exports for multiple targets. The catalogue entries provide skills, commands, instructions, an MCP integration, and a plugin for using the project.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 3 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01111 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00444 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00222 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
skill-builder 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 1mo ago.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill Builder
This skill uses the Skill Seekers MCP server, which provides 40 tools for converting knowledge sources into AI-ready skills. If the MCP tools are not available, use the CLI fallback at the bottom of this file instead — do not stop.
Prerequisites
The MCP tools below only work when the Skill Seekers MCP server is connected:
- Install the package:
pip install "skill-seekers[mcp]" - Connect the server:
- Installed as the Skill Seekers plugin? Nothing to do — the plugin's bundled
.mcp.jsonstarts the server automatically (it still needs step 1). - Installed standalone (e.g. copied into
~/.claude/skills/)? Register the server once:claude mcp add skill-seekers -- python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp
- Installed as the Skill Seekers plugin? Nothing to do — the plugin's bundled
If tools like scrape_docs or package_skill are not in your tool list, the server is not connected. Tell the user about the two steps above, and use the CLI fallback in the meantime.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to create an AI skill from a documentation site, GitHub repo, PDF, video, or other source
- Needs to convert documentation into a format suitable for LLM consumption
- Wants to update or sync existing skills with their source documentation
- Needs to export skills to vector databases (Weaviate, Chroma, FAISS, Qdrant)
- Asks about scraping, converting, or packaging documentation for AI
Source Type Detection
Automatically detect the source type from user input:
| Input Pattern | Source Type | Tool to Use |
|---|---|---|
https://... (not GitHub/YouTube) |
Documentation | scrape_docs |
owner/repo or github.com/... |
GitHub | scrape_github |
*.pdf |
scrape_pdf |
|
| YouTube/Vimeo URL or video file | Video | scrape_video |
| Local directory path | Codebase | scrape_codebase |
*.ipynb, *.html, *.yaml (OpenAPI), *.adoc, *.pptx, *.rss, *.1-.8 |
Various | scrape_generic |
| JSON config file | Unified | Use config with scrape_docs |
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.

skill-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers (15,157 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,111 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.

stuck
Diagnoses a broken course setup by reading the folder, so the student never has to describe the problem in English. Takes no argument. Reports which class they are on and which files are filled, then names one blocker and one fix: Claude Code opened at the wrong level, .claude/skills/ missing, skills not loading…
wrap-up
Saves today's work session as a four-line entry (did, decided, open, next) at the top of the project's log.md, after the student confirms it, so a fresh chat can continue tomorrow with /pick-up. Writes to projects/ /log.md or career-vault/log.md, one entry per project touched, never to new-client. Use when the student…
pick-up
Reads the newest entry of a project's log.md and tells the student where they left off: what they did and decided, what is open, and the next step. Takes an optional project name. With several projects and no name, shows a menu of each project's last entry. Read only. Use when the student says pick up, where did I…
grill-me
One move you can run on anything: point grill-me at a target and it makes you defend your thinking from first principles until the true matter is clear. Point it at your working contract and it rewrites the weak lines in place. Point it at a brief and it produces a Requirements Handshake. Point it at research, an…
information-architecture
Map the user journey first, then derive the screen inventory, navigation and hierarchy from it, flagging any screen that serves no journey step. Writes the four-part markdown plus an HTML diagram of the step-to-screen mapping. Use after the brief is settled and before tokens or UI.
design-tokens
Establish color, typography, spacing, radius and motion as named role-based tokens. Use before building any interface.
