**What it does.** Skill Seekers scrapes a documentation website, GitHub repository, or PDF and compiles it into a Claude skill (SKILL.md plus references), with conflict detection when several sources disagree. The SKILL.md here is the driver skill that runs the tool from inside an agent. Use it to give an agent a local, versioned copy of a library's docs. Compare [[skill-book-to-skill]] for books and [[tool-graphify]] for code knowledge graphs.

## Install

- `pip install skill-seekers` (or `uv tool install skill-seekers`), then copy [skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md](https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/blob/HEAD/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md) into `~/.claude/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md`.
- Raw file: `curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/HEAD/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md`

## SKILL.md (verbatim)

```yaml
name: skill-builder
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:

| 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` |

## Recommended Workflow

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

### Scraping (use based on source type)
- `scrape_docs` — Documentation sites
- `scrape_github` — GitHub repositories
- `scrape_pdf` — PDF files
- `scrape_video` — Video transcripts
- `scrape_codebase` — Local code analysis
- `scrape_generic` — Jupyter, HTML, OpenAPI, AsciiDoc, PPTX, RSS, manpage, Confluence, Notion, chat

### Post-processing
- `enhance_skill` — AI-powered skill enhancement
- `package_skill` — Package for target platform
- `upload_skill` — Upload to platform API
- `install_skill` — End-to-end install workflow

### Advanced
- `detect_patterns` — Design pattern detection in code
- `extract_test_examples` — Extract usage examples from tests
- `build_how_to_guides` — Generate how-to guides from tests
- `split_config` — Split large configs into focused skills
- `export_to_weaviate`, `export_to_chroma`, `export_to_faiss`, `export_to_qdrant` — Vector DB export
