What it does

“Create, improve, and manage Droid skills. Use when the user wants to: - Create new skills from scratch or from session learnings - Improve existing skills based on user preferences - Analyze sessions to identify patterns worth codifying - Understand best practices for agentic skill design This is a meta-skill for self-improvement and continuous learning.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill helps agents create, improve, and manage reusable skills by extracting learned patterns from sessions and codifying them into shareable instructions. It guides users through skill design best practices, organization, and maintenance to turn one-off solutions into repeatable workflows. The skill includes templates, verification patterns, and strategies for identifying what deserves extraction versus what is too specific or simple.

When to use it

  • When you solve a complex problem and want to reuse the approach later
  • After noticing repeated patterns across multiple sessions worth codifying
  • When building team conventions or personal workflows for common tasks
  • To document non-obvious solutions and gotchas before knowledge is lost

When not to

  • For simple one-off tasks or straightforward work following existing documentation
  • When the solution is too narrow to generalize beyond a single specific case
  • If extracting the skill takes more effort than the problem itself
