Skill Doc Enhancer
Automatically analyze and enhance SKILL.md files that are too short or lack sufficient documentation.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- A skill's SKILL.md has less than 3000 characters
- The documentation lacks usage examples
- Scripts exist but aren't documented in SKILL.md
- Common use cases and best practices are missing
- The skill needs content enrichment while preserving structure
Enhancement Process
Step 1: Analyze Current State
Run the analysis script to understand what needs enhancement:
python3 scripts/analyze_skill.py <path/to/skill-directory>
This will output:
- Current character count
- Missing sections (examples, scripts, best practices)
- Directory structure analysis
- Enhancement recommendations
Step 2: Generate Enhancement Content
Based on the analysis, the script will suggest:
-
Directory Structure Analysis
- List all files in
scripts/,references/,assets/ - Identify undocumented resources
- List all files in
-
Script Documentation
- For each script in
scripts/, extract:- Purpose and functionality
- Usage syntax
- Example commands
- Expected outputs
- For each script in
-
Usage Examples
- Common task patterns
- Input/output examples
- Error handling examples
-
Best Practices
- Recommended workflows
- Common pitfalls to avoid
- Tips for effective usage
Step 3: Apply Enhancements
The enhancement script can automatically append content:
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py <path/to/skill-directory> [--dry-run]
Options:
--dry-run: Preview changes without modifying files--sections examples,scripts,best-practices: Choose which sections to enhance
Enhancement Categories
1. Script Documentation
For skills with a scripts/ directory, add:
## Scripts Reference
### script-name.py
**Purpose**: Brief description of what the script does
**Usage**:
```bash
python3 scripts/script-name.py [arguments]
Examples:
# Example 1: Basic usage
python3 scripts/script-name.py input.txt
# Example 2: With options
python3 scripts/script-name.py input.txt --output result.txt
### 2. Usage Examples
Add concrete examples showing real-world usage:
```markdown
## Usage Examples
### Example 1: [Task Name]
**Scenario**: Describe when this example applies
**Input**:
- File: `example.txt`
- Content: ...
**Command**:
```bash
# Command to execute
Output:
Expected output
Example 2: [Another Task]
...
### 3. Best Practices
Document recommendations and pitfalls:
```markdown
## Best Practices
### Do's
- Recommendation 1
- Recommendation 2
### Don'ts
- Pitfall 1 and why to avoid it
- Pitfall 2 and why to avoid it
### Tips
- Pro tip for advanced usage
- Performance optimization suggestion
4. Common Use Cases
List typical scenarios where the skill applies:
## Common Use Cases
1. **[Use Case 1]**: Brief description
- When to use: Context
- Expected outcome: Result
2. **[Use Case 2]**: Brief description
- When to use: Context
- Expected outcome: Result
Manual Enhancement Guidelines
When automatic enhancement isn't sufficient:
- Preserve Existing Structure: Don't reorganize unless necessary
- Append, Don't Replace: Add new content after existing sections
- Match Style: Follow the existing tone and formatting
- Be Specific: Include concrete file names, paths, and commands
- Test Examples: Ensure all code examples work as documented
Quality Checklist
After enhancement, verify:
- Character count > 3000 (unless skill is intentionally minimal)
- All scripts in
scripts/are documented - At least 2-3 usage examples provided
- Best practices section exists
- Common use cases listed
- Examples are tested and accurate
- No TODO or XXX placeholders remain
Scripts
analyze_skill.py
Analyzes a skill directory and reports enhancement opportunities.
Usage:
python3 scripts/analyze_skill.py /path/to/skill-directory
Output: JSON report with:
char_count: Current SKILL.md character counthas_examples: Whether usage examples existscripts_documented: Whether scripts are documentedhas_best_practices: Whether best practices section existsrecommendations: List of suggested enhancements
enhance_skill.py
Automatically enhances SKILL.md with missing content.
Usage:
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py /path/to/skill-directory [options]
Options:
--dry-run: Preview changes without writing--sections SECTIONS: Comma-separated list of sections to enhance- Available:
examples,scripts,best-practices,use-cases - Default: all sections
- Available:
Example:
# Preview enhancements
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py /path/to/skill --dry-run
# Enhance only examples and scripts
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py /path/to/skill --sections examples,scripts
Example Enhancement Workflow
# 1. Analyze the skill
python3 scripts/analyze_skill.py skills/nano-pdf
# Output:
# {
# "skill_name": "nano-pdf",
# "char_count": 1850,
# "has_examples": false,
# "scripts_documented": false,
# "has_best_practices": false,
# "recommendations": [
# "Add usage examples section",
# "Document scripts/pdf_utils.py",
# "Add best practices section"
# ]
# }
# 2. Preview enhancements
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py skills/nano-pdf --dry-run
# 3. Apply enhancements
python3 scripts/enhance_skill.py skills/nano-pdf
# 4. Review and edit manually if needed
# Edit skills/nano-pdf/SKILL.md
Notes
- This skill focuses on content enhancement, not restructuring
- Always review automatic enhancements before committing
- Some skills may be intentionally minimal - use judgment
- When in doubt, prefer adding examples over explanations
