Turn a proven pattern or debugging solution into a standalone reusable skill
by alirezarezvaniFree
Description
Extract is an agent skill that turns a proven pattern or debugging solution into a standalone reusable skill. A skill made this way contains a SKILL.md file, reference documents and examples, so it can be installed in any project. You describe the pattern, and the skill extracts it into that structure. You can name the skill, choose the output folder, or run a dry run that previews the files without creating them. The skill starts from a set of criteria for when a learning qualifies for extraction, which asks whether the solution recurs and is worth keeping in a portable form. It is useful for capturing fixes that keep resurfacing, such as a set of environment-specific corrections, so the next project starts with the answer rather than rediscovering it. The skill is part of the claude-skills collection by alirezarezvani and is listed on skills.sh, where its audit shows a warning from the Socket scanner.…
