Auto Skill Generator

Generate skills by researching and crawling authoritative documentation.

Tool: fetch_docs.py

# Search - returns all URLs with snippets
python scripts/fetch_docs.py search "Modal GPU Python documentation"

# Crawl - with domain/path filtering to stay focused
python scripts/fetch_docs.py crawl \
  --url https://modal.com/docs/guide/gpu \
  --no-external \
  --select-paths "/docs/.*" \
  --instructions "Focus on GPU setup and code examples" \
  --limit 30

Workflow

1. Search for Documentation

python scripts/fetch_docs.py search "{topic} documentation"

Returns JSON with all URLs, titles, scores, and content snippets.

2. Select Best URL

Review search results and select based on:

  • Official docs: *.com/docs/, docs.*.com, *.readthedocs.io
  • Content relevance: Check snippets for API docs, code examples
  • Avoid: Blog posts, changelogs, marketing, glossaries

3. Crawl with Filtering

python scripts/fetch_docs.py crawl \
  --url {selected_url} \
  --no-external \
  --select-paths "/docs/.*" "/guide/.*" \
  --instructions "Focus on API methods and code examples"

Core Parameters:

--instructions Natural language guidance for crawler
--limit Total pages (default: 50)
--max-depth Link depth (default: 2)

--select-paths Regex patterns to include (e.g., /docs/.*)
--exclude-paths Regex patterns to exclude (e.g., /blog/.*)
--select-domains Regex for allowed domains
--exclude-domains Regex for blocked domains

Quality Options:

Parameter Description
--extract-depth basic (1 credit/5 URLs) or advanced (2 credits/5 URLs)
--format markdown or text
--timeout Seconds (10-150, default: 150)

4. Generate Skill File

From crawled content, create:

---
name: {topic-slug}ß
description: >
  {What the skill does}. Use when: {specific triggers}.
---

# {Topic Name}

## Quick Start
## Core API
## Common Patterns

Output

  • Location: ~/.claude/skills/{topic-slug}/SKILL.md
