# Skill Optimizer Full Context

## Project

Skill Optimizer is an Agent Skills lifecycle toolkit. It helps users turn coding-agent experience into reusable skills, tune skills to local usage, and prepare skills for public release.

Repository: https://github.com/hqhq1025/skill-optimizer
Project site: https://hqhq1025.github.io/skill-optimizer/
Current release: v2.0.0

## Skill Lifecycle Model

1. Mine repeated workflows.
   - Skill: `skill-miner`
   - Purpose: scan coding-agent histories, archived sessions, rollout summaries, memories, Gemini/Antigravity task files, and exported transcripts to find repeated workflows that may deserve new skills.

2. Audit and personalize existing skills.
   - Skill: `skill-personalizer`
   - Purpose: preserve the original Skill Optimizer audit strengths: trigger fit, undertrigger, overtrigger, user reaction, workflow completion, static quality, cross-skill conflicts, environment consistency, token economics, and P0/P1/P2 fixes. Then tune skills to one user's tools, paths, aliases, wording, and validation habits.

3. Generalize for publication.
   - Skill: `skill-generalizer`
   - Purpose: convert local/private/personal skills into public-ready skills by removing private paths, credentials, hostnames, transcripts, one-off project facts, and platform-specific assumptions.

## Installation Paths

Recommended portable path:

```bash
~/.agents/skills/
```

Common platform-specific paths:

- Codex: `~/.codex/skills/`
- Claude Code: `~/.claude/skills/`
- Cursor project skills: `.agents/skills/` or `.cursor/skills/`
- OpenCode project skills: `.agents/skills/` or `.opencode/skills/`
- OpenCode global skills: `~/.config/opencode/skills/`

## Key Commands

Run the history miner:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-miner/scripts/scan_sessions.py --days 30 --limit 300 --min-count 3
```

Include exported transcripts:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-miner/scripts/scan_sessions.py --export ~/Downloads/cursor-chat-export.json
```

Use a custom workflow pattern file:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-miner/scripts/scan_sessions.py --patterns ./my-patterns.json
```

Disable archive and summary sources:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-miner/scripts/scan_sessions.py --no-include-archives --no-include-summaries
```

## Research Background

The project is informed by:

- Memento-Skills: externalized evolving skills as memory.
- Agent Skills for Large Language Models: progressive disclosure, portable skill definitions, security, and lifecycle governance.
- Voyager: skill libraries, execution feedback, and self-verification.
- Reflexion and ExpeL: learning from feedback and experience without weight updates.
- Lost in the Middle: need to front-load important trigger and safety information.
- RAG-MCP and MCP tool-description work: routing quality, prompt bloat, and tool selection.

## Public Claims

Skill Optimizer does not claim identical support depth across all coding agents. It uses conservative `SKILL.md` frontmatter for portability and notes that discovery, metadata, permissions, install paths, and UI invocation vary by Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and related agents.

## Privacy

The miner is designed to emit sanitized summaries and representative snippets. Raw transcripts should remain local unless the user explicitly chooses to share them.
