At a glance

Detects the type of a knowledge source and uses the Skill Seekers MCP tools to turn docs, repos, PDFs or videos into packaged AI skills.

  • Works in 7 steps: Detect source type from the user's input → Generate or fetch config using… → Estimate scope with estimate_pages for… → …
  • Turning a documentation site or GitHub repo into an AI skill
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Source Type Detection, Recommended Workflow and Available MCP Tools
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill assumes the Skill Seekers MCP server, which offers 40 tools, and picks a scraper from the input: a documentation URL goes to scrape_docs, a GitHub repo to scrape_github, a PDF to scrape_pdf, a video link or file to scrape_video, a local folder to scrape_codebase, and notebooks, HTML, OpenAPI YAML, AsciiDoc, PPTX or RSS files to scrape_generic. A JSON config file is used together with scrape_docs.

The recommended workflow is to detect the source, generate or fetch a config, estimate scope with estimate_pages for documentation sites, scrape, optionally enhance with enhance_skill, package for the target platform with package_skill, and export to a vector database such as Weaviate or Qdrant if requested. Other tools list and validate configs, upload and install skills, and sync existing skills with their source documentation.

When your agent uses it

  • Turning a documentation site or GitHub repo into an AI skill
  • Converting PDFs or videos into skill content
  • Syncing existing skills with updated source docs
  • Exporting scraped documentation to a vector database

Example prompts

  • “Build a skill from the FastAPI documentation site.”
  • “Make a skill out of the GitHub repo for our internal SDK and package it.”
  • “Scrape this PDF manual into a skill and export it to Qdrant.”

Requirements

  • The Skill Seekers MCP server

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b5d8df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skill Seekers Builder loads about 760 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~760

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Automatically detect source types and build AI skills using Skill Seekers. Use when the user wants to create skills from documentation, repos, PDFs, videos, or other knowledge sources.

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:
