If your team already has documentation, runbooks, or coding guidelines, you can convert them into structured skills instead of writing from scratch.

​
Using the Studio

1

Open the Studio

Navigate to the Studio and select Build from Local Sources.
2

Upload your files

Upload the files you want to convert. The Studio accepts:
  • README sections
  • Runbooks and playbooks
  • Style guides
  • API documentation
  • Code review checklists
  • Onboarding documents
3

Review the conversion

The AI analyzes your files and produces a structured SKILL.md with:
  • Extracted metadata (name, description, tags)
  • Reorganized instructions in step format
  • Inferred constraints from your guidelines
  • Generated verification criteria
4

Edit and refine

The converted skill opens in the Editor. Review each section and refine:
  • Tighten vague constraints
  • Add concrete examples
  • Remove information that is not actionable for an agent

​
Tips for good conversions

The best source documents are ones that describe how to do something, not what something is. Procedural content converts better than conceptual content.
  • Focus on one task per conversion; split large docs into multiple skills
  • After conversion, always run evals to catch gaps
  • Add examples if the source document did not include them
