File contents

Skill Factory — memory of work done → specialized skills

This skill documents how the wiki-to-skill-generator plugin turns the memory of work done into project-specialized skills. The source is the memory:user-project store — the per-project auto-memory (lessons, decisions, patterns) under ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/*.md — so skills come out specialized per project, not generic.

What makes a proper, specialized skill

The authoring bar (enforced at the L3 stage below):

Specialized, not generic. Encode the concrete lesson — the real names, paths, decisions, and gotchas of this project. Never flatten into vague advice that would apply to any codebase.
Trigger-optimized description. One line that names the project/domain so the skill triggers accurately.
Actionable body. Overview / When to use / Procedure / Gotchas, with the specifics kept intact.

The pipeline (L1/L2/L3 escalation ladder)

Stage	Tier	Job
0 — Rearrange upfront	—	Read memory files, group by project, dedup in RAM. Never mutates stored memory (unless `--reindex`).
1 — Triage & cluster	L1 cheap	Cluster a project's lessons into themes; keep only skill-worthy ones.
2 — Draft	L2 mid	Draft a project-specialized skill per surviving cluster.
3 — Author	L3 smart	Polish into a proper `SKILL.md` following this guidance. Only skill-worthy clusters reach L3 (cost control).

Manual generation

Dry run (L1 triage only — cheap, writes nothing):

python scripts/generate_skills.py --dry-run

Target one project, or refresh embeddings first:

python scripts/generate_skills.py --project dynastore
python scripts/generate_skills.py --reindex        # slow: reloads embed model

Or via the scheduled task / dashboard button (/wiki-skill-generator/).

Output

Per project: skills/generated/<project-slug>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Frontmatter: name, description, triggers, source: memory-generated, project
Mapping recorded in the plugin_wiki_skills table; on_session_start suggests relevant skills to active sessions.
