Workflow-to-Skill Distiller

Workflow-to-Skill Distiller

Turns a completed workflow into a reusable agent skill. Specifically, this skill extracts patterns from an interaction or workflow that already happened and packages them.

[!CAUTION] You MUST complete Phase 1 (Brainstorming) before writing any code or SKILL.md content. Skipping brainstorming produces skills that are either too rigid or too vague. The brainstorming conversation is the most important part of this process.

Phase 1: Brainstorming (MANDATORY)

Have an iterative back-and-forth conversation with the user. Do NOT ask all questions at once. Pick 2-3 relevant questions per round from the bank below, refine your understanding, and ask follow-ups.

Round 1: Understand the Workflow

Start by summarizing what you observed from the workflow, then ask:

1. "Here's my understanding of the workflow: [summary]. Is this accurate? What would you change?"
2. "What are the expected inputs and outputs for this workflow?"
3. "How often do you expect to run this workflow? Is it recurring or one-off?"

Round 2: Flexibility and Error Handling

For each step identified in the workflow, determine its rigidity:

1. "For [step X], if the primary approach fails (e.g., API down, no results), should the agent: (a) ask you for guidance, (b) try alternative approaches automatically, or (c) fail loudly with an error?"
2. "Are there any steps where the exact method matters (e.g., must use a specific database), vs. steps where any reasonable approach is fine?"
3. "Should the skill handle edge cases silently or surface them to the user?"

Round 3: Dependencies and Resources

Before asking these questions, check which of your installed skills overlap with
