Workflow Skill Creator

88TrustedShips scripts

Automated packaging of past interactions into persistent agent instructions.

What it does

Workflow Skill Creator transforms successful chat interactions into formal, reusable agent capabilities. It identifies the logic behind a completed task and structures it so that your assistant can reliably replicate the process later without needing to repeat the initial trial-and-error phase.

By installing this, you give your assistant the ability to act as a developer for its own operational logic. It systematically refines a sequence of steps, determines where programmatic helpers are necessary, and defines how the agent should handle errors or edge cases in future iterations of the same task.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

Use this when you have arrived at a reliable solution to a complex, multi-step problem through manual prompting and want to ensure the assistant remembers the exact logic, parameters, and dependencies for future sessions.

Look elsewhere when…

Do not attempt to use this for designing an agent skill from scratch before performing the task manually; it requires a history of successful execution to extract meaningful patterns. It is also unsuitable for tasks that are strictly one-off and lack potential for future repetition.

What to say to use it

You never invoke a skill directly — the assistant picks it up when your request matches what it covers. These are the kinds of things that do that.

  • Package our last conversation into a reusable skill
  • Can you turn this workflow into a formal skill
  • Create a skill based on the steps we just took
  • Formalize this process so I can run it again later

Install it

Install for all your projects

Copy the skill directory into your personal skills folder. Claude picks it up on its own the next time your request matches what it does — there is nothing to enable.

bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/google-deepmind/science-skills.git /tmp/science-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/science-skills/skills/workflow_skill_creator ~/.claude/skills/workflow-skill-creator

Install for one project only

Put it in the project's own skills folder instead, so it can be committed and shared with everyone working on that repository.

bash
cp -r /tmp/science-skills/skills/workflow_skill_creator .claude/skills/workflow-skill-creator

If a skill of the same name exists in both places, the personal one wins.

Installing on Claude.ai or through the API instead? The full guide covers every surface.

Pair it with an MCP server

Workflow Skill Creator changes how the work is done. These servers change what Claude can reach while doing it.
