How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Skill Generalizer

Overview

Convert a working local skill into a clean public artifact. The goal is to preserve the reusable technique while removing private context, personal assumptions, and machine-specific setup.

When To Use

  • A user wants to publish, share, promote, open-source, or package a local skill.
  • A skill was born from personal workflows, private repos, local paths, transcripts, remote hosts, or team conventions.
  • The output needs to be useful to strangers without leaking the author's environment.

Do not use for tuning a skill only for the user's own machine; use `skill-personalizer` for that.

Workflow

1. Inspect the actual source skill and nearby repo files before judging. 2. If the source skill quality is unclear, run the audit checks from `skill-personalizer` first. 3. Separate the reusable capability from personal implementation details. 4. Redact or replace private names, paths, hosts, credentials, account IDs, transcripts, and one-off project facts. 5. Rewrite the skill around general triggering conditions, portable workflows, and bounded assumptions. 6. Keep `SKILL.md` concise; move long rubrics, examples, or scripts into bundled resources. 7. Check target-agent compatibility before writing install instructions or support claims. 8. Produce publication-ready packaging and honest promotion copy only when requested. 9. Verify frontmatter, file layout, install path, and at least one realistic usage prompt.

Public Release Rules

  • Frontmatter `description` should describe when to use the skill, not summarize its workflow.
  • Public examples must be generic or explicitly sanitized.
  • Claims in README or marketplace copy must match files that actually exist.
  • Prefer portable commands and path placeholders over the author's home directory or private aliases.
  • If a personal detail is essential, turn it into a configurable variable with setup guidance.

Read [publication-rubric.md](references/publication-rubric.md) when doing a full release pass, redaction review, README rewrite, or promotional packaging.

Read [platform-compatibility.md](references/platform-compatibility.md) before claiming support for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, or other coding agents.
