English | 简体中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Español | Français | Deutsch | Português | Türkçe | العربية | हिन्दी | Русский

🧠 The data layer for AI systems. Skill Seekers turns documentation sites, GitHub repos, PDFs, videos, notebooks, wikis, and more — 18 source types — into structured knowledge assets, ready to power AI Skills (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI), RAG pipelines (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone), and AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline). Prepare once, export to 22 targets.

🚀 Quick Start

# 1. Install
pip install skill-seekers

# 2. Create a skill from any source
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/

# Optional: preview how a source will be detected without creating anything
skill-seekers detect https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --json

# 3. Package it for your AI platform
skill-seekers package output/django --target claude

You now have output/django-claude.zip, ready to use.

# Pick a different AI agent for enhancement (default: claude)
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --agent kimi
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --agent-cmd "my-custom-agent run"

🛰️ AI-driven project scan

Point scan at a project and an AI agent reads its manifests, README, Dockerfile/CI and sampled source imports — then emits one config per detected framework, plus a <project>-codebase.json for your own code:

skill-seekers scan ./my-react-app --out ./configs/scanned/
# → react.json, vite.json, tailwind.json, jest.json, my-react-app-codebase.json

skill-seekers create ./configs/scanned/react.json

If a detection has no existing preset, the AI generates a fresh config; on exit you can optionally publish it back to the community registry.

All 18 source types

📦 Installation

pip install skill-seekers              # Core: scraping, GitHub, PDF, packaging
pip install skill-seekers[all-llms]    # + every LLM platform
pip install skill-seekers[mcp]         # + MCP server
pip install skill-seekers[all]         # Everything

Not sure what you need? Run the wizard: skill-seekers-setup

All installation extras

Video visual deps (GPU-aware): after installing skill-seekers[video-full], run skill-seekers create --setup to auto-detect your GPU and install the matching PyTorch variant + easyocr.

Why it matters

• ⚡ 99% faster — days of manual data prep → 15–45 minutes
• 🎯 Real skill quality — 500+ line SKILL.md files with examples, patterns, and guides
• 📊 RAG-ready chunks — smart chunking preserves code blocks and context
• 🔄 Multi-source — combine docs + GitHub + PDFs + videos into one knowledge asset
• 🌐 One prep, every target — export to 22 targets without re-scraping
• ✅ Battle-tested — 3,900+ tests, 68 workflow presets, production-ready

✨ Key capabilities

Documentation scraping — SPA discovery, llms.txt, smart categorization

Three-layer discovery for JavaScript SPA sites (sitemap.xml → llms.txt → headless browser rendering), automatic llms.txt detection (10× faster when present), smart topic categorization, and a lenient HTML parser fallback so broken markup still scrapes.

GitHub & codebase analysis (C3.x) — AST parsing, pattern detection, how-to guides

Three-stream architecture: code analysis (AST, design patterns, tests), documentation (README, docs/, wiki), and community (issues, PRs, metadata). The C3.x pipeline adds 10 GoF pattern detectors across 9 languages, usage examples extracted from tests, AI-written how-to guides, config extraction, and architecture overviews.

skill-seekers create ./my-project --preset quick          # 1–2 min, surface level
skill-seekers create ./my-project --preset standard       # balanced (default)
skill-seekers create ./my-project --preset comprehensive  # deep, exhaustive
