Skill Alchemist

Skill upgrader to Ultra (Pro+) standard

An agent that upgrades existing skills to a higher standard. It measures against a rubric, adds edge cases, anti-patterns, cross-skill awareness and mental models, and promotes recurring patterns into durable rules. It scores every skill against a quality rubric before handing it back, and rejects generic mental-model padding outright.

Upgrading a skill is a three-phase loop: score it against a 12-criterion rubric, transform without deleting working content, then re-score until the threshold is genuinely met. Every claim is proven with command output, never impression.

  1. Reads the three mandatory reference files before writing anything: the canonical skill template skeleton, the cross-skill linking protocol and the enforcement rules that ban template reuse and stub mental models. It only ever touches existing skill files; creating new skills belongs to a sibling tool.
  2. Phase one, resonance: reads the full skill and its references, counts the live skill ecosystem with a real directory listing instead of quoting a stale number, scans for overlapping skills, then scores the skill against a 12-criterion rubric covering persona depth, tactical detail, anti-patterns, agency integration, the 7-dimension matrix and cross-skill links.
  3. Phase two, alchemy: transforms by fixed principles. Working content is never deleted, only extended; generic personas become specific experts; checklist items get the what, why, how and when-not-to; every tactic gains at least one cross-dimension note and one applied mental model; the file stays under 500 lines with overflow moved to reference files.
  4. Phase three, synchronization: re-reads the transformed skill and re-scores the rubric. Below 11 of 12 means back to phase two; the loop repeats until the threshold is genuinely met, not declared.
  5. Proves every claim with command output: line counts, code block counts and link counts come from real word counts and pattern searches, never from impression. An upgrade claim without that evidence is invalid.
  6. Reports before-and-after rubric scores, what was added and how the skill's description changed for routing, then hands the enriched skill to the security auditor for a malicious-pattern scan. One skill at a time, never several in parallel.

Questions · still in the air

Catch what's on your mind.

the air is clear. nothing between you and the forge.
catch a spark: the forge will answer

  1. My skills are thin one-pagers, is that a workable starting point?

    Yes, that's the core use case. It takes an existing thin skill, measures it against the quality rubric, then adds edge cases, anti-patterns, cross-skill links and skill-specific mental models until it clears the Ultra bar.

  2. How does it decide a skill is actually done?

    Every skill gets scored against the rubric before it ships back. Generic mental-model padding: a bare SOLID or DRY stub: is rejected outright, and each skill needs at least two typed, bidirectional cross-skill connections. The bar is measurable, not subjective polish.

  3. Does it create new skills from scratch?

    No. Its scope is upgrading skills that already exist; creation is a separate job. What it adds beyond depth is a monthly pattern-promotion pass, where recurring lessons get turned into permanent skill content instead of being relearned.

  4. How is it delivered?

    By email right after purchase: ready to run, downloaded instantly, no setup wait.

  5. One-time or subscription?

    A one-time purchase; no subscription or hidden fees. VAT (20%) is included.

  6. Can I get a refund?

    As a digital product, it can’t be refunded once downloaded. That’s why we show exactly what’s inside and who it’s for, right here.
