# Skill Builder This skill uses the Skill Seekers MCP server, which provides 40 tools for converting knowledge sources into AI-ready skills. If the MCP tools are not available, use the CLI fallback at the bottom of this file instead — do not stop. ## Prerequisites The MCP tools below only work when the Skill Seekers MCP server is connected: 1. Install the package: `pip install "skill-seekers[mcp]"` 2. Connect the server: - Installed as the Skill Seekers plugin? Nothing to do — the plugin's bundled `.mcp.json` starts the server automatically (it still needs step 1). - Installed standalone (e.g. copied into `~/.claude/skills/`)? Register the server once: `claude mcp add skill-seekers -- python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp` If tools like `scrape_docs` or `package_skill` are not in your tool list, the server is not connected. Tell the user about the two steps above, and use the CLI fallback in the meantime. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user: - Wants to create an AI skill from a documentation site, GitHub repo, PDF, video, or other source - Needs to convert documentation into a format suitable for LLM consumption - Wants to update or sync existing skills with

Where does this skill come from?
From yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers, a repository with 14,697 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.
