Repo to Skill

Generate an agent skill from a GitHub open-source repository. Use when asked to create a skill from a repo URL, turn a GitHub project into a usable skill, or generate skill files for a CLI/library/framework. Triggers on phrases like "create a skill from this repo", "make a skill for vllm", "turn this GitHub project into a skill", "generate a skill from repo". Also use when asked to "skillify" a tool or generate usage instructions from source code. Command usage — `/skill repo-to-skill <github-repo-url>`.

# Repo-to-Skill Generator

Generate a complete, tested, and evaluated agent skill from any GitHub repository.

## Command

```
/skill repo-to-skill <github-repo-url>
```

Example:
```
/skill repo-to-skill https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm
```

## Overview

Given a GitHub repo URL, this skill:
1. Clones and analyzes the repository
2. Extracts usage patterns from README, docs, examples, CLI help
3. Generates a working skill (SKILL.md + resources)
4. Tests the skill by running basic operations
5. Evaluates the skill with test prompts and assertions

## Process

### Step 1: Clone & Analyze

```bash
# Clone repo (shallow for speed)
git clone --depth 1 <repo-url> /tmp/repo-to-skill/<repo-name>
```

Analyze in this order (stop when you have enough):
1. **README.md** — primary source for installation, quickstart, features
2. **docs/** or **documentation/** — detailed usage guides
3. **examples/** — concrete usage patterns (high value)
4. **CLI help** — if it's a CLI tool, check `--help` output
5. **setup.py / pyproject.toml / package.json** — dependencies and entry points
6. **Source code** — only if docs are insufficient; focus on public API

Extract:
- **What it does** (one sentence)
- **Installation method** (pip, npm, cargo, etc.)
- **Core commands/API** (the 5-10 most common operations)
- **Configuration** (env vars, config files, required setup)
- **Input/Output formats** (what goes in, what comes out)
- **Common patterns** (from examples/ or README)

Github Stars Curator

Leexunhuan743/github-stars-curator

Organize starred GitHub repos into stable, clear lists: detect new stars, download READMEs into a local corpus, classify each repo against the taxonomy, and sync the approved mapping back to GitHub via gh. Use this when a user wants their starred repos sorted into lists, a recent batch of new stars filed incrementally, or their star-list taxonomy reviewed and refined. Do not use for general GitHub issue/PR management, repo code search, or bookmarking non-GitHub resources.

Oss Launch

AnayDhawan/oss-launch

Use when taking a repo open source, or hardening one that already is. Run /oss-launch and it scans the repo (stack, existing files, git remote, secrets), asks only what it cannot infer, then generates a tailored OSS file collection (README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, CHANGELOG, .gitignore, .github/ issue + PR templates, CI/CD). Also covers launch (GitHub metadata, badges, Show HN, Reddit, YouTube), release cadence (SemVer + CHANGELOG), and demo-GIF generation. Triggers on "open source this", "OSS checklist", "prep for launch", "make this repo public", "add a license / co
