What is SkillAnything?

One target in, production-ready Skills out.

SkillAnything is a Skill that generates Skills. Give it any target -- a CLI tool, REST API, Python library, workflow, or web service -- and it runs a fully automated 7-phase pipeline:

Target: "jq"
  |
  v
[Analyze] -> [Design] -> [Implement] -> [Test] -> [Benchmark] -> [Optimize] -> [Package]
  |                                                                                  |
  v                                                                                  v
analysis.json                                                          dist/
                                                                        ├── claude-code/
                                                                        ├── openclaw/
                                                                        ├── codex/
                                                                        └── generic/

No manual prompt engineering. No copy-paste between platforms. Just tell it what you want a skill for.

Quick Start

Install

# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/AgentSkillOS/SkillAnything.git ~/.claude/skills/skill-anything

# OpenClaw
git clone https://github.com/AgentSkillOS/SkillAnything.git ~/.openclaw/skills/skill-anything

# Codex
git clone https://github.com/AgentSkillOS/SkillAnything.git ~/.codex/skills/skill-anything

Use

In Claude Code, just say:

> Create a skill for the httpie CLI tool
> Generate a multi-platform skill for the Stripe API
> Turn this data pipeline workflow into a skill

SkillAnything handles the rest.

Run Individual Phases

# Phase 1: Analyze a target
python -m scripts.analyze_target --target "jq" --output analysis.json

# Phase 2: Design architecture
python -m scripts.design_skill --analysis analysis.json --output architecture.json

# Phase 3: Scaffold skill
python -m scripts.init_skill my-skill --template cli --output ./out

# Phase 4: Generate test cases
python -m scripts.generate_tests --analysis analysis.json --skill-path ./out/my-skill

# Phase 5: Run evaluation
python -m scripts.run_eval --eval-set evals.json --skill-path ./out/my-skill

# Phase 6: Optimize description
python -m scripts.run_loop --eval-set trigger-evals.json --skill-path ./out/my-skill --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514

# Phase 7: Package for all platforms
python -m scripts.package_multiplatform ./out/my-skill --platforms claude-code,openclaw,codex

The 7-Phase Pipeline

Inspired by CLI-Anything's methodology, adapted for Skill generation:

Phase	Name	What It Does	Output
1	Analyze	Auto-detect target type, extract capabilities	analysis.json
2	Design	Map capabilities to skill architecture	architecture.json
3	Implement	Generate SKILL.md + scripts + references	Complete skill directory
4	Test Plan	Auto-generate eval cases + trigger queries	evals.json
5	Evaluate	Benchmark with/without skill, grade results	benchmark.json
6	Optimize	Improve description via train/test loop	Optimized SKILL.md
7	Package	Multi-platform distribution packages	dist/

Target Auto-Detection

Target Type	Detection Method	Example
CLI Tool	which <name> + --help parsing	jq, httpie, ffmpeg
REST API	URL with OpenAPI/Swagger spec	Stripe API, GitHub API
Library	Package name via pip/npm	pandas, lodash
Workflow	Step-by-step description	ETL pipeline, CI/CD flow
Service	URL with web docs	Slack, Notion

Supported Platforms

Examples

Example 1: CLI Tool Skill

> Create a skill for the jq CLI tool

Phase 1: Analyzing jq... detected as CLI tool (confidence: 0.95)
Phase 2: Designing skill architecture... tool-augmentation pattern
Phase 3: Generating SKILL.md + 2 scripts + 1 reference
Phase 4: Created 5 test cases + 20 trigger queries
Phase 5: Benchmark: 87% pass rate (vs 42% baseline)
Phase 6: Description optimized: 18/20 trigger accuracy
Phase 7: Packaged for claude-code, openclaw, codex, generic

Done! Skill at: sa-workspace/dist/

Example 2: API Skill

> Generate a skill for the Stripe API, focus on payments

Phase 1: Fetching Stripe OpenAPI spec... 247 endpoints found
Phase 2: Focusing on payment_intents, customers, charges
Phase 3: Generated SKILL.md with auth setup + endpoint references
...

Example 3: Workflow Skill

> Turn this into a skill: fetch from Postgres, clean with pandas, upload to S3

Phase 1: Detected workflow with 3 steps
Phase 2: workflow-orchestrator pattern, 3 dependencies
Phase 3: Step-by-step SKILL.md with error handling guidance
...

Configuration

Edit config.yaml:

pipeline:
  auto_mode: true              # Full automation or interactive
  skip_eval: false             # Skip phases 5-6 for rapid prototyping

platforms:
  enabled: [claude-code, openclaw, codex, generic]
  primary: claude-code

eval:
  max_optimization_iterations: 5
  runs_per_query: 3

obfuscation:
  enabled: false               # PyArmor protection for core scripts

Code Protection

SkillAnything supports code obfuscation for commercial distribution:

# Obfuscate original scripts (Apache 2.0 derived files are excluded)
python -m scripts.obfuscate --config config.yaml

# Output: dist-protected/ with PyArmor-protected core + readable adapted scripts

Category	Files	Protection
SkillAnything Original	6 scripts	PyArmor obfuscated
Anthropic Adapted	9 scripts	Source (Apache 2.0 requires it)
Agent Instructions	7 .md files	Readable (required by agents)
