Skill Extraction
Review this session and extract reusable skills into .frugal/skills/.
Process
- Identify what was solved and the approach that worked
- Identify what was tried and failed (anti-patterns)
- Write a skill file to
.frugal/skills/<name>.md (create directory if needed)
- Summarize what was extracted
Skill File Format
---
name: <kebab-case-name>
description: "<What it does>. Use when: <trigger conditions>."
trigger: "<keyword1|keyword2|keyword3>"
created: <today's date>

## When to use
<1-2 sentences describing the problem this skill solves>
## Steps
1. <concrete, actionable step>
2. <concrete, actionable step>
## Anti-patterns
- Don't <thing that was tried and failed, and why>
## Files to check first
- <project-specific file paths relevant to this problem>
Guidelines
- Only extract if the session solved something non-trivial
- Steps must be concrete and actionable, not generic advice
- Anti-patterns prevent future waste — they're as valuable as steps
- "Files to check first" is project-specific — that's the compound learning
- One skill per problem. Don't bundle unrelated solutions.
- If
.frugal/skills/ already has a similar skill, update it instead of creating a duplicate
