Skill Miner

# skill-miner

**Research. Analyze. Build Clean.**

Systematic approach to discovering skills on ClawHub and building your own implementations. Instead of downloading potentially risky code, use this skill to research existing solutions, understand their approaches, and create your own clean, safe version.

*Trust but verify, built but owned.* 🦞

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- You need new functionality you don't have
- You want to research how others solve problems
- You find a suspicious skill but like the idea
- You're building a new skill from scratch
- You want to stay ahead of ClawHub trends

---

## Core Philosophy

```
1. NEVER download suspicious skills
2. INSPECT to understand the idea  
3. BUILD your own clean implementation
4. PUBLISH or keep private
```

**Why?**
- Suspicious = potential malware/risk (ew, no thanks)
- Building yourself = 100% clean & safe (sleep well at night)
- Generic = works for everyone (share the love)
- Your code, your rules 🦞

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Discovery

```bash
# Search for relevant skills
clawhub search <topic>

# Explore trending
clawhub explore --sort trending --limit 20

# Find gaps
clawhub explore --sort newest --limit 50
```

### Phase 2: Research

```bash
# Inspect without downloading
clawhub inspect <skill-slug>

# Read the SKILL.md to understand:
# - What problem it solves
# - How it triggers
# - What commands/tools it uses
```

### Phase 3: Analysis

Document what you learned:
- **Problem**: What need does it address?
- **Approach**: How does it solve it?
- **Tools**: What commands/APIs does it use?
- **Gaps**: What's missing or could be better?

### Phase 4: Build

Use skill-creator to build your clean version:
- Same problem, different implementation
- Add missing features
- Make it generic and reusable
