AI skill builder from reference content
Build a workflow that turns pasted source material — like a writing guide copied out of a docs tool such as Notion — into a downloadable AI "skill": a markdown file with name and description frontmatter followed by structured, imperative instructions. The point is to let someone quickly convert existing reference content into a reusable skill without hand-formatting it. Trigger it from a single-page web app served at an HTTP route (space members only). The page lets the user paste source content and optionally suggest a name and description, then click a button to build the skill. On submit, the page POSTs to a second HTTP endpoint that calls a large language model — Claude via the Anthropic API, or your preferred model provider — to restructure the source into focused, imperative skill instructions and generate a trigger-focused description, without inventing facts not present in the source. Return the result to the page as editable fields — name, description, and the markdown instructions — so the user can tweak them, then download the assembled .md file (frontmatter + instructions body) or copy it to the clipboard. The workflow is read-only: it calls the model API but stores nothing and has no other side effects. Build the UI as a polished React + Tailwind app. Optionally, note that source content could later be fetched automatically from a docs tool (e.g. the Notion API) instead of pasted.

What this prompt builds
A workflow that converts pasted reference content into a downloadable AI skill file with structured, imperative instructions. Users paste source material, optionally suggest a name and description, and receive an editable markdown file with frontmatter that can be downloaded or copied to the clipboard. Built as a web app using Claude API, React, and Tailwind.
The problem
Teams and individuals who maintain AI skills often struggle to convert existing reference material — writing guides, process docs, style sheets — into properly formatted skill files. Manual reformatting is tedious and error-prone, requiring careful attention to frontmatter structure and imperative phrasing. This workflow transforms pasted source content into a ready-to-use AI skill: a markdown file with name and description frontmatter followed by structured, imperative instructions that can be downloaded or copied to the clipboard.
Solution and impact
The workflow eliminates manual formatting by automatically restructuring source material into focused, imperative skill instructions using Claude. Users paste their content, optionally suggest a name and description, and receive an editable markdown file they can tweak before downloading or copying. Teams save time converting existing documentation into reusable AI skills, ensuring consistent formatting and making it easy to build a library of custom skills without hand-editing markdown.
