autoskill Turn operator repetition into a skill. Trigger when the operator gives the same instruction, correction or prompt pattern about the third time in a conversation, or says they keep repeating themselves, and the pattern is reusable.

Its objective is the autotune skill's Objective section: a skill is worth creating only when it cuts tokens or time and raises quality; judge every candidate against its three axes and rules.

When you notice the operator repeating the same kind of instruction, correction, or prompt pattern (about three occurrences, exact wording may vary), do the following:

  1. Finish the current task first; never interrupt work in progress.
  2. Then propose, in one short paragraph: the repeated pattern you observed, a skill name suggestion, the trigger phrasing, and what the skill would do. Ask whether to create it.
  3. On approval, write the skill:
    • a conversation shortcut or expansion: add it to the shortcuts skill table instead of creating a new skill.
    • anything else: persist it exactly as the autotune skill's Persistence section specifies — locate the operator's skills repository, write skills/<name>/SKILL.md there (or in the current project for project-specific behavior), then mirror the skill directory into ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, plus the project's .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/ when it is project-specific. Follow the local naming conventions and keep the skill a thin, single-purpose instruction; route to an authoritative doc when one exists instead of duplicating it.
  4. Do not propose a skill for one-off work, secrets, or anything whose repetition is already covered by an existing skill; when an existing skill almost fits, propose extending it instead.
