Editor's note
Skill Seekers is a Python MCP server and CLI tool that ingests documentation websites, GitHub repositories, PDFs, videos, Jupyter notebooks, and over ten other source types, then converts them into structured knowledge assets exportable to multiple AI targets. Running a single `skill-seekers create` command against a URL or local path scrapes and parses the source material, while `skill-seekers package` exports the result to formats including Claude Skills (ZIP plus YAML for Claude Code and the Claude API), LangChain Documents, LlamaIndex TextNodes, Pinecone-ready Markdown, and local vector databases such as ChromaDB and FAISS. The MCP integration exposes 40 tools, enabling Claude Desktop and Claude Code users to trigger ingestion and packaging directly from a conversation. A built-in conflict detection system flags overlapping or contradictory content across sources before packaging. Developers building RAG pipelines, AI coding assistants, or Claude Skills benefit most, and a companion community config repository at skillseekersweb.com offers 24-plus preset configurations for common documentation sources.

🧠 The data layer for AI systems. Skill Seekers turns documentation sites, GitHub repos, PDFs, videos, notebooks, wikis, and more — 18 source types — into structured knowledge assets, ready to power AI Skills (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI), RAG pipelines (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone), and AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline). Prepare once, export to 22 targets.

🚀 Quick Start
# 1. Install
pip install skill-seekers
# 2. Create a skill from any source
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/
# Optional: preview how a source will be detected without creating anything
skill-seekers detect https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --json
# 3. Package it for your AI platform
skill-seekers package output/django --target claudeYou now have output/django-claude.zip, ready to use.
# Pick a different AI agent for enhancement (default: claude)
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --agent kimi
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --agent-cmd "my-custom-agent run"🛰️ AI-driven project scan
Point scan at a project and an AI agent reads its manifests, README, Dockerfile/CI and sampled source imports — then emits one config per detected framework, plus a -codebase.json for your own code:
skill-seekers scan ./my-react-app --out ./configs/scanned/
# → react.json, vite.json, tailwind.json, jest.json, my-react-app-codebase.json
skill-seekers create ./configs/scanned/react.jsonIf a detection has no existing preset, the AI generates a fresh config; on exit you can optionally publish it back to the community registry.
