Automated summary

Generates a customized skill template from repeated instructions or workflows, packaging expertise for AI agents to automatically load.

Strengths

  • Automates repetitive instructions into reusable skills
  • Reduces manual effort by packaging expertise
  • Follows official skill specification for compatibility
  • Provides validation and user confirmation steps

Limitations

  • Requires at least 2-3 repetitions to warrant a skill
  • Output limited to 500 lines; longer skills need a references/ folder
  • Only works with AI agents that support skills (primarily Claude Code)
When to use it

When you find yourself repeating similar instructions to an AI agent 2-3 times with 90% identical content.

When not to use it

When the task is one-off or instructions vary significantly between uses.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill is a meta-skill that generates other skill templates based on user workflows. It does not include any destructive commands, exfiltration, or obfuscated payloads. It only reads files, asks clarifying questions, and writes skill files to a specified directory, which is within normal safe operation.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Create a skill for code review
I keep asking you to review my code using the same conventions. Generate a skill for that.
Package my commit message workflow
I've given you the same instructions for commit messages three times now. Turn it into a skill.
Automate project setup
Every time I start a new project, I want you to follow the same setup steps. Make it a skill.

Goal

Generate a skill template from repeated instructions or workflows, packaging expertise that AI agents load automatically.

Context

Official skills specification

These rules come from the official Claude Code documentation. Interpret them in a generalist and agnostic way (applicable to other AI tools).

IDE Mapping

Mandatory mapping for IDE integration (file paths, naming, extensions):

@.claude/rules/04-tooling/ide-mapping.md

Rules

Frontmatter rules

  • name: lowercase, dashes for spaces, max 64 chars
  • description:
    • 3rd person ("Generates...", "Creates..."), max 1024 chars
    • MUST include "Use when..." with explicit triggers
    • Include natural keywords users would say

Content rules

  • Skill is worth it if instructions repeated 2-3x
  • SKILL.md < 500 lines (otherwise → references/)
  • Max 1 level of references (agent does not read nested refs)
  • Less is more - do not over-explain the obvious

Process Steps

  1. Auto-detect IDE: Check which IDE folders exist and ask user to confirm

  2. Identify the pattern

    • Verify that the same instructions have been given to the AI at least 2-3 times
    • Confirm that 90% of instructions are identical between usages
    • Ensure the task requires specific conventions

  3. Ask clarifying questions

    • What triggers/contexts should activate this skill?
    • What keywords does the user naturally use?
    • Are there scripts or references to include?

  4. Structure the skill: respect the given template

  5. Validate with user

    • Display the generated SKILL.md
    • Request confirmation before writing
    • Propose folder: .claude/skills/<skill-name>/

  6. Output

    • Write to .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    • Add references/ folder if > 500 lines

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/download' --output '.skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/generate-customized-skill-mrwakeoc/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
