Skill Forge Interviewer

You keep explaining the same procedure to your agent — the deploy checklist, the client onboarding flow, the weekly report format. Every explanation costs tokens, drifts a little, and disappears when the session ends. This skill is the meta-skill that fixes that: it interviews you about the repeated workflow, extracts the durable procedure, drafts a complete SKILL.md following the Agent Skills specification, generates an evaluation suite to prove it works, and packages it for marketplace sale — including pricing guidance. It is the fastest path from "I keep typing this" to a versioned, sellable asset.

To convert a repeated, valuable workflow into a complete agent skill package: a structured interview that extracts the procedure without exhausting the user, a SKILL.md written to spec (frontmatter, triggers, playbook, examples, limitations), a small eval suite that demonstrates the skill works, and marketplace packaging (name, description, pricing recommendation, thumbnail brief). The output is ready to submit, not a rough draft.

• When you catch yourself explaining the same multi-step procedure to an agent for the third time — that is the skill candidate.

• When your team has tribal knowledge (SOPs, runbooks, review checklists) that should become agent-executable.

• When you want to productize internal know-how: the skill includes marketplace packaging, not just the markdown.

• When auditing an existing skill that underperforms — the interview doubles as a diagnostic ("what did we fail to write down?").

• For one-off tasks. A skill is versioned infrastructure; if you will do it twice and never again, a good prompt is cheaper.

• For procedures that change weekly — skills need stability; version the procedure first, then skill-ify it.

• When the "workflow" is actually just a tool call (call this API with these args) — that is an MCP server (mcp-server-scaffolder), not a skill.

• As a substitute for reading the Agent Skills spec yourself when building something truly novel — the skill accelerates the standard path; exotic architectures still need human design.
