When to Use

User says "save this as a skill" or "I keep doing this"
You notice the same Bash command or tool sequence run 2+ more times in the session
End of a session where significant workflows were executed

Step 1: Identify Candidate Patterns

Review the conversation history mentally for:

Bash commands run more than once with the same structure
Multi-step sequences (Read → Bash → Edit) done more than once
Commands the user had to correct or clarify (indicating a skill would have helped)
Commands with complex flags that are hard to remember

Step 2: Classify Each Pattern

For each candidate, determine:

Trigger: When would someone need this? What symptom or goal?
Scope: Is this project-specific (goes in ~/.claude/skills/PROJECT/) or global (goes in ~/.claude/skills/)?
