skill-builder

skill-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers. It costs 38 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for automatically identifying a source type and building an AI skill from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scraping or converting source material into AI skills, updating existing skills, and exporting information to search databases.
Why use it?
It removes the need to choose a separate process for websites, GitHub repositories, PDFs, videos, notebooks, and other sources.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

About the project

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.

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

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 7d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Builder

You have access to the Skill Seekers MCP server which provides 40 tools for converting knowledge sources into AI-ready skills.

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 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
  1. Detect source type from the user's input
  2. Generate or fetch config using generate_config or fetch_config if needed
  3. Estimate scope with estimate_pages for documentation sites
  4. Scrape the source using the appropriate scraping tool
  5. Enhance with enhance_skill if the user wants AI-powered improvements
  6. Package with package_skill for the target platform
  7. Export to vector DB if requested using export_to_* tools

Available MCP Tools

Config Management

  • generate_config — Generate a scraping config from a URL
  • list_configs — List available preset configs
  • validate_config — Validate a config file

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.
