Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

I'm excited to share the biggest update ever for Skill Seekers β€” the open-source tool that transforms documentation into production-ready AI skills for Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI.

πŸš€ What's New?

Skill Seekers has evolved from a simple documentation scraper into a complete skill generation factory. You can now create comprehensive AI skills by combining:

  • 🌐 Web Scraping β€” Any documentation website (async support for 3x speed)
  • πŸ™ GitHub Analysis β€” Deep AST parsing for functions, classes, APIs
  • πŸ“Š Codebase Analysis β€” Design patterns, architecture, dependencies
  • πŸ“„ PDF Extraction β€” Tables, OCR for scanned docs, password-protected files
  • πŸ”„ Smart Unified Merging β€” Cross-reference ALL sources with conflict detection
  • 🎯 Bootstrap (NEW!) β€” Generate skill-seekers itself as a Claude Code skill!

✨ Major New Features

This is the most significant release in Skill Seekers history:

🎯 NEW: Bootstrap Skill β€” Self-Hosting!

The coolest feature: You can now generate Skill Seekers itself as a Claude Code skill!

πŸ’‘ The Magic: Unified Multi-Source Skills

The real power is combining everything:

json { "name": "myframework", "sources": [ {"type": "documentation", "base_url": "https://docs.example.com"}, {"type": "github", "repo": "owner/repo", "code_analysis_depth": "deep"}, {"type": "pdf", "path": "manual.pdf"} ] }

One command. Three sources. One unified skill with: - ⚠️ Conflict detection (docs say X, code does Y) - πŸ“Š Documentation gap analysis - πŸ” Cross-referenced API information - πŸ“ˆ Architecture & design pattern insights

πŸ“¦ Quick Start

```bash pip install skill-seekers

Scrape docs

skill-seekers scrape --config react

Analyze a codebase

skill-seekers codebase --directory ./my-project

Create unified skill from multiple sources

skill-seekers unified --config my_unified.json

Package & upload

skill-seekers package output/myskill/ ```

πŸ“Š By the Numbers

  • ⭐ 7.1K+ GitHub stars
  • πŸ§ͺ 1,200+ tests passing
  • πŸ€– 4 LLM platforms supported
  • πŸ“¦ 24 preset configs
  • πŸ‘₯ 24 contributors
  • πŸ”§ 18 MCP tools
