name: auto-skill-generator description: > Generate skills from web research. Given a topic like "how to use Stripe API" or "Prisma ORM", this skill searches for authoritative documentation, crawls the best source, and generates a ready-to-use .md skill file. Use when: (1) User wants to create a skill about a library/tool/API, (2) User says "create a skill for X", "make a skill about X", or "generate skill for X", (3) User wants to capture documentation as a reusable skill.

Auto Skill Generator

Generate skills by researching and crawling authoritative documentation.

Tool: fetch_docs.py

# Search - returns all URLs with snippets
python scripts/fetch_docs.py search "Modal GPU Python documentation"

# Crawl - with domain/path filtering to stay focused
python scripts/fetch_docs.py crawl \
  --url https://modal.com/docs/guide/gpu \
  --no-external \
  --select-paths "/docs/.*" \
  --instructions "Focus on GPU setup and code examples" \
  --limit 30

Workflow

1. Search for Documentation

python scripts/fetch_docs.py search "{topic} documentation"

Returns JSON with all URLs, titles, scores, and content snippets.

2. Select Best URL

Review search results and select based on:

• Official docs: *.com/docs/, docs.*.com, *.readthedocs.io
• Content relevance: Check snippets for API docs, code examples
• Avoid: Blog posts, changelogs, marketing, glossaries

3. Crawl with Filtering

python scripts/fetch_docs.py crawl \
  --url {selected_url} \
  --no-external \
  --select-paths "/docs/.*" "/guide/.*" \
  --instructions "Focus on API methods and code examples"

• Extract ALL code blocks from crawled content
• Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; split to references/ if longer
