What it does
When you want to create, adapt, or update an Agent Skill (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other hosts) in one of your repos (listed in ~/.config/makerskills/skillify/repos.yaml; defaults to makerskills). Modes, CREATE (from chat, video, dump, or scratch) turns a workflow into a new skill. ADAPT ports an external skill with keep/adapt/add classification, license check, and attribution. UPDATE improves existing skills from learnings with cross-skill propagation, memory-vs-skill triage, and semver. TEST role-plays users through a skill and judges transcripts against a rubric. Checks new skills for host portability. Triggers on "/skillify," "create a skill," "make this a skill," "adapt this skill," "port this skill," "update X skill," "propagate this learning," "improve [skill]," "fix [skill]," "test this skill," "exercise [skill]." Part of the -ify trifecta, integrations and MCP servers go to toolify, schedules and loops to loopify.
/skillify, Create, adapt, or update a skill
One skill, four modes. Routes automatically to the right one based on input signal.
Consolidates and replaces the prior create-skill, adapt-skill, and update-skill (all merged as of v0.2.0 for vocabulary-moat consistency with the -ify trifecta).
Step 0, Detect mode
Route by signal:
| Signal | Mode |
|---|---|
| Invoked mid-conversation with substantive recent workflow discussion | CREATE / from-chat (default) |
/skillify from-video <url> OR /skillify + a video URL | CREATE / from-video |
/skillify from-dump + pasted brief/transcript/notes | CREATE / from-dump |
/skillify from-scratch <name> OR "make a new skill called X" with no context | CREATE / from-scratch |
/skillify <github-url> OR "adapt this skill" / "port this skill" / "fork this skill" + external source | ADAPT |
/skillify <existing-skill> <change> OR "update X skill" / "propagate this learning" | UPDATE / targeted |
/skillify update (mid-conversation) | UPDATE / from-chat, scan recent chat for learnings |
/skillify usage <skill> | UPDATE / usage, review recent runs, suggest improvements |
/skillify test <skill-or-path> OR "test this skill" / "exercise X" / "dry-run X" | TEST, simulated use against a rubric |
If ambiguous, ask before proceeding. Never guess between CREATE and ADAPT if there's an external URL involved.
Mode: CREATE
Build a new skill from chat / video / dump / scratch.
