The Pain Point: Creating Skills Takes Too Long

After using Claude Agent Skills for a while, I discovered a major pain point: creating a high-quality Skill is time-consuming.

Take my previous two Skills as examples:

  • deploying-to-production: Spent 2 hours organizing deployment scripts and best practices
  • internationalizing-websites: Spent 3 hours compiling i18n configuration and common pitfalls

While these Skills are incredibly useful once created, the creation process involves:

  1. Reading official documentation
  2. Extracting key points
  3. Organizing code examples
  4. Testing and iterating

For complex frameworks with extensive documentation (like Shipany, a Next.js 15 SaaS boilerplate), manually creating a Skill could take an entire day.

Until I discovered Skill Seeker.


What is Skill Seeker?

Skill Seeker is a powerful tool that automatically converts ANY documentation website into Claude Skills.

Its core capabilities:

  • 🌐 Universal Web Scraping - Works with any documentation site
  • šŸ¤– Intelligent Skill Generation - AI-enhanced organization and categorization
  • šŸ“¦ Production-Ready Output - Generates complete SKILL.md with code examples
  • ⚔ Blazing Fast - Create a Skill in 10-15 minutes

Most importantly: It works in Claude Code with a natural language interface!


Real-World Case: Creating a Shipany Skill in 10 Minutes

What is Shipany?

Shipany is an AI-powered SaaS boilerplate built on:

  • Next.js 15 + TypeScript
  • Drizzle ORM + NextAuth
  • Payment integration (Stripe, PayPal, Alipay)
  • Complete i18n support

Its official documentation has 10+ sections covering API, authentication, database, deployment, and more. Manually creating a comprehensive Skill would take at least a full day.

Using Skill Seeker: The Complete Process

Step 1: Natural Language Command

I simply told Claude in Claude Code:

"Use Skill Seeker to create a Shipany skill from https://shipany.com/docs"

Step 2: Automatic Scraping and Analysis

Skill Seeker automatically:

  1. Crawled the Shipany documentation site
  2. Extracted all pages and code examples
  3. Detected code languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, etc.)
  4. Categorized content by topic

Step 3: AI Enhancement

Claude used AI to:

  • Organize scattered documentation into logical categories
  • Extract common usage patterns
  • Generate the Quick Reference section
  • Optimize the file structure

Step 4: Generate Complete Skill Package

Within 10 minutes, I got a complete Shipany Skill containing:

shipany/
ā”œā”€ā”€ SKILL.md                 # Main skill file
└── references/              # Reference documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ api.md              # API documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ authentication.md   # Auth documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ database.md         # Database documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ deployment.md       # Deployment documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ features.md         # Features documentation
    ā”œā”€ā”€ getting_started.md  # Getting started
    ā”œā”€ā”€ i18n.md            # Internationalization
    └── payment.md          # Payment integration

The Result

The generated SKILL.md includes:

---
name: shipany
description: Shipany AI-powered SaaS boilerplate documentation.
  Use when working with Shipany framework, Next.js 15, TypeScript,
  Drizzle ORM, NextAuth, payment integration, or building SaaS applications.
---

## When to Use This Skill

- Working with Shipany
- Asking about Shipany features or APIs
- Implementing Shipany solutions
- Debugging Shipany code
- Learning Shipany best practices

## Reference Files

- **api.md** - API documentation
- **authentication.md** - Authentication documentation
- **database.md** - Database documentation
- **deployment.md** - Deployment documentation
- **features.md** - Features documentation
- **getting_started.md** - Getting Started
- **i18n.md** - Internationalization
- **payment.md** - Payment integration

All reference files preserve the original documentation structure with proper code examples and language annotations.


Why Skill Seeker is a Game-Changer

1. Saves Massive Time

Before: Creating a comprehensive Skill took 3-8 hours Now: 10-15 minutes with Skill Seeker

For my Shipany Skill, the time savings were at least 6 hours.

2. Higher Quality

Skill Seeker's AI enhancement ensures:

  • āœ… Complete coverage of all documentation
  • āœ… Logical content organization
  • āœ… Proper code language detection
  • āœ… Production-ready structure

No more worrying about missing important content when creating Skills manually.

3. Works with Any Framework

Skill Seeker isn't limited to Shipany. It works with:

  • Framework docs (Next.js, React, Vue, etc.)
  • API documentation (Stripe, OpenAI, etc.)
  • Tool guides (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
  • Any website with structured documentation

4. Seamless Claude Code Integration

The best part: You don't need to leave Claude Code.

Just tell Claude "use Skill Seeker to create a skill from [URL]" and you're done.


How to Get Started with Skill Seeker

Option 1: Use in Claude Code (Recommended)

  1. Install Skill Seeker as a skill in Claude Code
  2. Simply say: "Use Skill Seeker to create a skill from [documentation URL]"
  3. Wait 10-15 minutes for the skill to be generated
  4. Done!

Option 2: Use CLI

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the scraper
npm run scrape

Option 3: Use MCP Server

Skill Seeker also provides an MCP server integration for advanced workflows.


My Open-Source Shipany Skill

To help others get started faster, I've open-sourced the Shipany Skill I created:

šŸ”— GitHub Repository: https://github.com/littleben/awesomeAgentskills/tree/main/shipany

You can:

  • Download and use it directly
  • Learn from its structure
  • Contribute improvements via PR

Best Practices for Using Skill Seeker

Based on my experience, here are some tips:

1. Choose Well-Structured Documentation

Skill Seeker works best with documentation that has:

  • Clear section divisions
  • Proper heading hierarchy
  • Code examples with language annotations

2. Review and Refine

While Skill Seeker generates production-ready Skills, you should still:

  • Review the generated SKILL.md
  • Add custom usage patterns if needed
  • Test the skill with real tasks

3. Organize Reference Files

For large documentation sites, consider:

  • Grouping related topics together
  • Removing duplicate content
  • Adding quick reference sections

The Future of Skill Creation

Skill Seeker represents a fundamental shift in how we create Agent Skills:

From: Manual extraction and organization (hours) To: Automated intelligent generation (minutes)

This democratizes Skill creation. Now anyone can:

  1. Find useful documentation
  2. Generate a Skill in minutes
  3. Start using it immediately

No more spending hours manually creating Skills. Focus on using Claude to solve real problems instead.


Conclusion

If you're using Claude Code and haven't tried Skill Seeker yet, I highly recommend it.

My experience:

  • ā±ļø Created Shipany Skill in 10 minutes (would have taken 6+ hours manually)
  • šŸ“š Complete coverage of all Shipany documentation
  • āœ… Production-ready quality
  • šŸš€ Immediately useful for building SaaS projects

Skill Seeker has made Claude even more powerful. With comprehensive Skills for any framework or tool, Claude truly becomes an expert "AI engineer" in every domain.
