Skill Seekers automates the creation of Claude Skills. Instead of manually copying documentation into prompts, it scrapes websites, GitHub repos, or PDFs and packages them into a format Claude can use as a specialized knowledge base.
Installation
# Recommended
pip install skill-seekers
# For high-performance PDF/OCR support (optional)
pip install skill-seekers[pdf]
Core Workflows
The tool operates in three stages: Scrape → Enhance → Package
1. Scraping Documentation
Using a Preset
skill-seekers scrape --config react
Custom URL
skill-seekers scrape --url https://react.dev --name my-react-skill
GitHub Repo
skill-seekers scrape --github https://github.com/user/repo
2. Unified Multi-Source (Docs + Code)
The most powerful feature for developers. Scrapes documentation AND analyzes source code to detect if docs are outdated.
skill-seekers unified \
--name my-project \
--url https://docs.example.com \
--github https://github.com/example/repo
3. Scraping PDFs
Convert manuals or textbooks into skills:
skill-seekers scrape --pdf path/to/manual.pdf --name technical-skill
Tips:
- Use
--ocrfor scanned PDFs - Use
--extract-tablesfor complex data tables
Enhancing and Packaging
Once data is collected, turn it into a .zip file Claude can use.
Enhance
Uses AI to summarize scraped data into a high-quality SKILL.md entry point:
skill-seekers enhance output/my-project/
Package
Creates the final distribution file:
skill-seekers package output/my-project/
Claude Code MCP Integration
Skill Seekers has a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Once set up, just ask Claude in natural language:
“Create a skill for the Tailwind documentation.”
“Generate a config for this GitHub repo and package it.”
How LearnAI Team Could Use This
- Convert frequently referenced AI tool documentation into reusable Claude Skills for lesson development.
- Package internal guides as skills so team members can query them consistently inside Claude Code.
- Use the unified docs-plus-code workflow to check whether training examples drift from current source code.
Real-World Use Cases
- A curriculum designer turns React, Tailwind, or OpenAI docs into a Claude Skill before writing a module.
- A developer packages a project repo and docs so Claude can answer implementation questions with local context.
- A training team converts PDF manuals into searchable skills for workshops and support material.

Example Workflow
# 1. Scrape React docs and repo
skill-seekers unified \
--name react-skill \
--url https://react.dev \
--github https://github.com/facebook/react
# 2. Enhance with AI summary
skill-seekers enhance output/react-skill/
# 3. Package for distribution
skill-seekers package output/react-skill/
# 4. Install to Claude Code
cp output/react-skill.zip ~/.claude/skills/
Now Claude has expert-level React knowledge on demand.
