extract-insights
This skill should be used when user wants to learn from their collected references, synthesize patterns across sources, or turn research into frameworks from curated reference collections (Are.na channels, bookmarks, saved articles).
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill extract-insights-rohunvora-my-claude-skills --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Articles/links (richest content) 2. Text blocks (direct notes) 3. Images with descriptions (frameworks, diagrams) 4. Images without descriptions (least context) ### Phase 2: Deep-Read **For articles/links:** ``` FETCH STRATEGY: 1. Direct fetch (WebFetch) 2. If blocked or inaccessible: - Flag for manual review - Note: "[url] - blocked, needs manual access" 3. If success: - Extract key insights (not full content) - Note source for citation ``` **For PDFs and attachments:** ``` PDF STRATEGY: 1. Ch

What does the extract-insights skill do?
This skill should be used when user wants to learn from their collected references, synthesize patterns across sources, or turn research into frameworks from curated reference collections (Are.na channels, bookmarks, saved articles).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill extract-insights-rohunvora-my-claude-skills --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
