Tool Ingestion — Code to Skill Converter

Read source code of any external tool and generate a proper AuthorAgent SKILL.md file.

Process

1. Read the source code provided by the user (file path or pasted code)
2. Analyze the tool:
   • Purpose and domain (writing, formatting, marketing, analysis)
   • Inputs: arguments, config files, stdin
   • Outputs: files, stdout, formats
   • Language: Python, JavaScript, HTML, etc.
   • CLI interface and flags (if any)
   • Dependencies required
3. Generate SKILL.md with:
   • YAML frontmatter: name, description, triggers, permissions
   • How the tool works
   • Input/output documentation
   • Example commands or workflows
   • How AuthorAgent should invoke or reference it
4. Save to skills/author/[tool-name]/SKILL.md (or marketing/core as appropriate)

[How it works, when to use it, example commands]

Rules

• NEVER invent capabilities the tool doesn't have
• Note required dependencies (Python version, npm packages)
• If the tool is GUI-only, note it requires manual interaction
• If the tool has a CLI, document exact command syntax
• Keep triggers practical — words users would actually type
• Name must be kebab-case, unique, and descriptive
