About skill-builder
A skill for turning documentation, repositories, PDFs, videos, and other sources into AI-ready skills. It guides source detection, scraping, enhancement, packaging, installation, and vector database export through Skill Seekers MCP tools.
Key features
- 01Detect source types and choose scrapers
- 02Generate and validate scraping configs
- 03Scrape docs, code, PDFs, and video
- 04Enhance and package skills
- 05Export to vector databases
Use cases
- 01Convert a documentation site into a skill
- 02Update a skill from its source repository
- 03Export scraped content to a vector database
MCP support

Details
From the project READMESkill 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 | 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
- Detect source type from the user's input
- Generate or fetch config using
generate_configorfetch_configif needed - Estimate scope with
estimate_pagesfor documentation sites - Scrape the source using the appropriate scraping tool
- Enhance with
enhance_skillif the user wants AI-powered improvements - Package with
package_skillfor the target platform - Export to vector DB if requested using
export_to_*tools
