What it does
Distill a reusable skill from anything, a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or what you just did together, or refine an existing skill with new learnings. Use when the user says '/learn', 'learn this', 'turn this into a skill', 'capture this workflow', 'make a skill from <source>', or 'improve/update the <name> skill'. Produces or updates a .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md authored to NanoClaw's skill guidelines. (This CREATES or REFINES a skill from a source; it does not install existing skills from a registry.)
Learn, Distill a Skill from Anything
Turn a source, a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or the work just done in this conversation, into a clean, reusable NanoClaw skill. The output is a new .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (plus optional scripts/, references/, templates/) authored to the project's skill guidelines.
This skill is instruction-only: it uses the tools you already have (Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, Write), there is no separate distillation engine and no reach-ins into core code.
When to use
Invoke when the user wants to capture a workflow as a reusable skill:
/learn <path>, read a project/dir and build a skill for working with it/learn <url>, read docs / an API page and build a usage skill/learn what we just did, distill the current conversation's workflow/learn+ pasted notes, turn notes into a structured skill
If the user instead wants to find and install an existing community skill, that is a different task, this skill creates new skills, it does not import them.
Workflow
1. Identify the source, and whether this is a new skill or a refine
- A path → read the code/files.
- A URL → fetch and read the page.
- "what we just did" / "this" → use the current conversation as the source.
- Pasted text → use it directly.
Then check .claude/skills/ for an existing skill that already covers this topic (the user may name it, e.g. "update the wow-on-steam-deck skill", or the subject may obviously match one). If one exists, this is a REFINE, not a fresh create, go to step 4's "Refining" branch.
If it is ambiguous what the skill should do, ask one clarifying question before proceeding.
