Claude Skillify

claude-skillify

I was reading through the Claude Code source code and noticed a skill called /skillify that only Anthropic employees get access to. It's gated behind USER_TYPE === 'ant' - if you're not an internal user, the registration function returns early and the skill never loads.

What it does is pretty useful. After you finish a session where you did some repeatable process - a deploy, a PR review, a cherry-pick flow, whatever - you run /skillify and it analyzes the session, interviews you about what to capture, and generates a proper SKILL.md file you can reuse later. It's how Anthropic's own team turns ad-hoc workflows into automation.

The bundled version uses internal hooks to inject session memory and extracted user messages into the prompt. Those hooks aren't available outside the binary. But the model already has the full conversation history when a skill runs inline, so the prompt just needs to reference that directly instead.

So I extracted the prompt, adapted it to work without the internal hooks, and packaged it as a plugin anyone can install.

What it does

At the end of a session where you performed a repeatable process (deploy flow, PR review, cherry-pick, etc.), run /skillify and it will:

1. Analyze your conversation history to identify the process, steps, tools used, and corrections made
2. Interview you interactively to confirm the skill name, steps, arguments, and save location
3. Generate a properly structured SKILL.md with frontmatter, success criteria, and execution annotations
4. Save it so you can invoke it with /your-skill-name in future sessions

Install

Add the marketplace and install the plugin in Claude Code:
