## 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.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Skill Builder

This skill uses the Skill Seekers MCP server, which provides 40 tools for converting knowledge sources into AI-ready skills. If the MCP tools are not available, use the CLI fallback at the bottom of this file instead, do not stop.

## Prerequisites

The MCP tools below only work when the Skill Seekers MCP server is connected:

1. Install the package: `pip install "skill-seekers[mcp]"`
2. Connect the server:
   - Installed as the Skill Seekers plugin? Nothing to do, the plugin's bundled `.mcp.json` starts the server automatically (it still needs step 1).
   - Installed standalone (e.g. copied into `~/.claude/skills/`)? Register the server once: `claude mcp add skill-seekers -- python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp`

If tools like `scrape_docs` or `package_skill` are not in your tool list, the server is not connected. Tell the user about the two steps above, and use the CLI fallback in the meantime.

## 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
