Copy skills/ content to ~/.kilocode/skills/ and merge modes/ into .kilocodemodes or ~/.kilocode/custom_modes.yaml.

Automatic mode (no questions):

/claude-workflow-skill-to-kilocode -a workflow-apex
# Creates: ./workflow-apex/skills/... + ./workflow-apex/modes/...

With conversion logs:

/claude-workflow-skill-to-kilocode -a -s utils-refactor
# Creates output + logs in .claude/output/skill-converter/

Convert by path

/claude-workflow-skill-to-kilocode /path/to/my-skill

Auto mode - no questions

/claude-workflow-skill-to-kilocode -a workflow-apex

Save conversion logs

/claude-workflow-skill-to-kilocode -a -s meta-hooks-creator

<state_variables>
**Persist throughout all steps:**

| Variable | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| `{skill_path}` | string | Full path to Claude Code skill |
| `{skill_name}` | string | Skill name (directory name) |
| `{auto_mode}` | boolean | Skip confirmations |
| `{save_mode}` | boolean | Save conversion logs |
| `{logs_dir}` | string | Conversion logs directory (if save_mode) |
| `{output_root}` | string | Output directory: `./{skill_name}/` |
| `{skill_structure}` | object | Parsed skill frontmatter and body |
| `{referenced_agents}` | list | Subagents found in skill |
| `{converted_modes}` | list | Modes created from agents |
| `{kilocode_skill}` | object | Final converted skill |
</state_variables>

<workflow>
**Conversion flow:**

step-00-init: Parse flags, locate skill ↓ step-01-analyze: Read skill, identify structure, find agent references ↓ step-02-convert-agents: Convert referenced agents to modes (if any) ↓ step-03-convert-skill: Convert skill frontmatter and body ↓ step-04-validate: Validate conversion completeness ↓ step-05-save: Save to Kilocode location

</workflow>

<entry_point>
**FIRST ACTION:** Load `steps/step-00-init.md`
</entry_point>

<step_files>
| Step | File | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| 00 | `steps/step-00-init.md` | Parse flags, locate skill, setup state |
| 01 | `steps/step-01-analyze.md` | Analyze skill structure, find agent refs |
| 02 | `steps/step-02-convert-agents.md` | Convert agents to Kilocode modes |
| 03 | `steps/step-03-convert-skill.md` | Convert skill to Kilocode format |
| 04 | `steps/step-04-validate.md` | Validate conversion completeness |
| 05 | `steps/step-05-save.md` | Save and report results |
</step_files>

<execution_rules>
- **Load one step at a time** - progressive loading
- **Persist state variables** across steps
- **Follow next_step directive** at end of each step
- **Save outputs** if `{save_mode}` = true
- **Skip AskUserQuestion** if `{auto_mode}` = true
</execution_rules>

<success_criteria>
- Skill frontmatter correctly converted
- Body content adapted for Kilocode
- All referenced agents converted to modes
- Dynamic context documented as limitations
- Converted skill validates against Kilocode schema
