From the SKILL.md

# Codify Skill

> `/codify <skill-name>` — Extract deterministic logic from a skill's SKILL.md into a Python script.

## What This Does

Takes a skill's SKILL.md and splits it into:
- **Script** (`<skill-dir>/script.py`) — all deterministic operations (file ops, validation, parsing, template copying)
- **Slim SKILL.md** — only AI judgment parts (questions, assessment, continuation logic) + calls to the script

## Argument

`/codify <skill-name>` — the skill directory name under `~/.claude/skills/`. If omitted, list available skills and ask.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Analyze

1. Read `~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
2. Classify every block of instructions into one of two buckets:

**DETERMINISTIC** (goes into script.py):
- File/directory creation, copying, moving, deleting
- Template validation and repair
- Reading files and extracting sections/data
- Writing structured content to files
- Git operations (status, branch, mv)
- Environment detection (checking if files/dirs exist)
- Any operation that always produces the same output given the same input
- Pattern matching, categorization by filename/extension
- JSON/YAML/TOML parsing or generation
- Archiving, rotating, or resetting files

**JUDGMENT** (stays in SKILL.md):
- Asking the user questions (AskUserQuestion)
- Deciding what to do based on context (if/else logic about user intent)
- Assessing completion status
- Choosing what to work on next
- Dispatching agents for tasks requiring reasoning
