Extract the conceptual essence of a repository as skills, agents, and teams —
the project's roles, procedures, and coordination patterns expressed as
agentskills.io-standard definitions. Reads an arbitrary codebase and produces
generalized definitions that capture WHAT the project does and WHO operates it,
without replicating HOW it does it. Use when onboarding to a new codebase and
wanting to understand its conceptual architecture, when bootstrapping an
agentic system from an existing project, when studying a project's organizational
DNA for cross-pollination, or when creating a skill/agent/team library inspired
by a reference implementation.

# 金
提庫之概念 DNA——其角、程、合作模——成泛 agentskills.io 定。如取貴金於礦,分項目之**是**(質)與**為**(施),生可用之技、代理、團定,捕項目之組基因不複其碼。
## 用
- 入新庫前先繪概念架
- 由既項目啟代理系——將隱流轉為顯之技/代理/團定
- 研項目之組 DNA 以交相作他項目
- 仿參施作技/代理/團庫不襲之
- 解項目之構顯創者之心模與域識
## 入
- **必**:庫或項目根之徑
- **必**:旨陳——何為提質?(入、啟、研、交相)
- **可**:焦域——項目所注之區(默:全)
- **可**:出深——`survey`(探+析)、`extract`(全程)、`report`(提+書報)(默:`extract`)
- **可**:提上限——技+代理+團之總帽(默:15)
## 礦試
提之中質:
> **此概念可存於異施乎?**
>
> 若**是**——乃**金**(質)。提之。
> 若**否**——乃**渣**(施末)。棄之。
例:氣象應之概念「合外數源」乃金——施於諸取三方數之項目。「析 OpenWeatherMap v3 JSON 答」乃渣——專於一 API。
提之技述任之**類**,非具體例。提之代理述**角**非人。提之團述**合作模**非組圖。
## 行
### 一:探——測礦體
無評探庫構。先繪地後採。
1. Glob 樹以解項目之形:
- 源目及其組模(按特、按層、按域)
- 配檔:`package.json`、`DESCRIPTION`、`setup.py`、`Cargo.toml`、`go.mod`、`Makefile`
- 文:`README.md`、`CLAUDE.md`、`CONTRIBUTING.md`、架構文
- CI/CD:`.github/workflows/`、`Dockerfile`、署配
- 測目及其構
2. 讀項目自述(README、包單)以解所稱旨
3. 按類/語計檔以衡範與識主技
4. 識項目之界——始終、依何、供何
5. 成**探報**:
```text
Project: [name]
Declared Purpose: [from README/manifest]
Languages: [primary, secondary]
Size: [file count, approx LOC]
Shape: [monorepo/library/app/framework/docs]
External Surface: [CLI/API/UI/library exports/none]
```
得:實測——何在、多大、自稱為何。未分類評。報如地測非評。
敗:無 README 或單→由目名、檔容、測述推旨。項目過大(>1000 源檔)→縮至最活目(用 git log 頻或 README 引)。
### 二:析——分析成分
讀代表檔以解項目於概念之**為**。
1. 取 5-10 代表檔於不同區——非盡而多元:
- 入點(主檔、路由、命令)
- 核心邏(最引或最被引之模)
- 測(顯欲行勝施)
- 配(顯運憂與署境)
2. 各取區,識:
- **域**:項目觸何題區?(如「認證」「數轉」「報」)
- **動**:項目行何?(如「驗」「轉」「署」「告」)
- **角**:碼服何人或系?(如「數工」「終用」「審」)
- **流**:何序成流?(如「攝→驗→轉→存」)
3. 各見類為:
- **本**:諸解此題之施皆有
- **偶**:專於本施技之擇
4. 成**析報**:域、動、角、流之表含本/偶標
得:項目之概念圖如域辭典,非碼漫遊。不知技堆者讀之亦解項目之為。
敗:碼隱(重元編、生碼、混淆)→倚測與文非源碼。無測→讀提交以見意。
### 三:禪——釋施偏
停以清讀碼之認錨。
1. 識何架、語、模主吾心模——標之
2. 釋於**何為**:「用 React」變「有 UI 層」。「用 PostgreSQL」變「有持久結構存」。
3. 各析報之見施礦試:
- 「合外數源」——可存任處乎?是→金
- 「配 Axios 攔」——可存任處乎?否→渣
4. 礦試敗者→更高抽象重書
5. 多視角助→以諸鏡視項目:
- **考古**:碼構顯創者之心模何?
- **生物**:可複基因 vs 具表?
- **樂理**:式(奏鳴、輪旋)vs 具音?
- **製圖**:何抽象捕有用之拓?
得:析報今無架語。諸見過礦試。概念可移——可施於他語他架之項目。
敗:偏存(見常引具技)→反問:「若此項目重書於異堆,何概念存?」唯彼為金。
### 四:煉——分金渣
提之核步。各本概念分為技、代理、團。
1. 各純析報之本概念,定其類:
```text
Classification Criteria:
+--------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| Type | What to Look For | Naming Convention | Test Question |
+--------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| SKILL | Repeatable procedures, | Verb-first kebab-case: | "Could an agent follow |
| | workflows, transformations | validate-input, | this as a step-by-step |
| | with clear inputs/outputs | deploy-artifact | procedure?" |
+--------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| AGENT | Persistent roles, domain | Noun/role kebab-case: | "Does this require ongoing |
| | expertise, judgment calls, | data-engineer, | context, expertise, or a |
| | communication styles | quality-reviewer | specific communication |
| | | | style?" |
+--------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| TEAM | Multi-role coordination, | Group descriptor: | "Does this need more than |
| | handoffs, reviews, | pipeline-ops, | one distinct perspective |
| | parallel workstreams | review-board | to accomplish?" |
+--------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
```
2. 各提元:
- 賦**泛名**——非項目專。「UserAuthService」變 `identity-manager`(代理)。「deployToAWS()」變 `deploy-artifact`(技)。
- 書**一句述**不知源亦合
- 注**源概念**(為跡而非複)
- 末施礦試
3. 防常分類誤:
- 非各函皆技——尋**程**非單動
- 非各模皆代理——尋需評斷之**角**
- 非各合作皆團——尋有專之**合作模**
- 多項目得 3-8 技、2-4 代理、0-2 團。逾 20→提過細。
得:分類冊各含類(技/代理/團)、泛名、一句述。無項引具技、API、結構。
敗:分類含糊(技乎代理乎?)問:「此關**為**(技)抑**為人**(代理)?」技乃方;代理乃廚。仍不明→默為技——技後合易。
### 五:癒——驗提質
評提誠否——非過非欠。
1. **過提察**:讀各提定問:
- 可由此復源項目之專邏乎?→過詳
- 引具庫、API、數模、徑乎?→仍渣
- 全施程乎或概念草?→宜草
2. **欠提察**:唯顯提定(無源項目)問:
- 可解何**類**項目啟之乎?→宜是
- 定捕項目本性乎?→宜是
- 主能未現乎?→宜否
3. **泛察**:各定:
- 名於異堆亦合乎?→宜是
- 述無架乎?→宜是
- 可助於異域之項目乎?→理想是
4. **衡察**:審提比:
- 焦項目典:3-8 技、2-4 代理、0-2 團
- 總少於 3→欠提
- 總多於 15→過提或泛不足
得:信於正抽象層。各定為種可長於異土,非枝唯活原園。
敗:過提→升抽象——合具技為廣,合似代理為一角。欠提→返二取更多檔。泛敗→去技引重書述。
### 六:鑄——澆金成形
成 agentskills.io 標出文。
1. 各提**技**書骨定:
```yaml
# Skill: [generalized-name]
name: [generalized-name]
description: [one-line, framework-agnostic]
domain: [closest domain from the 52 existing domains, or suggest a new one]
complexity: [basic/intermediate/advanced]
# Concept-level procedure (3-5 steps, NOT full implementation):
# Step 1: [high-level action]
# Step 2: [high-level action]
# Step 3: [high-level action]
# Derived from: [source concept in original project]
```
2. 各提**代理**書骨定:
```yaml
# Agent: [role-name]
name: [role-name]
description: [one-line purpose]
tools: [minimal tool set needed]
skills: [list of extracted skills this agent would carry]
# Derived from: [source role/module in original project]
```
3. 各提**團**書骨定:
```yaml
# Team: [group-name]
name: [group-name]
description: [one-line purpose]
lead: [lead agent from extracted agents]
members: [list of member agents]
coordination: [hub-and-spoke/sequential/parallel/adaptive]
# Derived from: [source workflow/process in original project]
```
4. 編諸提入**析報**——一文含技、代理、團節,加摘表
得:結構報含諸提定於 agentskills.io 式。各定為骨(概念非施),可作 `create-skill`、`create-agent`、`create-team` 之始。
敗:出逾 15→按中性排——留最專於本項目域之概念。常項目皆有之概念(如「manage-configuration」)若無異變則棄。
### 七:淬——末驗
驗全提且成摘。
1. 計提:N 技、N 代理、N 團
2. 評覆:跨項目主域乎?
3. 驗獨立:讀各定**無**源項目脈絡——可獨立乎?
4. 末施礦試於全集:
```text
Temper Assessment:
+-----+---------------------------+----------+------------------------------------+
| # | Name | Type | Ore Test Result |
+-----+---------------------------+----------+------------------------------------+
| 1 | [name] | skill | PASS / FAIL (reason) |
| 2 | [name] | agent | PASS / FAIL (reason) |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+-----+---------------------------+----------+------------------------------------+
```
5. 成末摘:
- 提總(技/代理/團)
- 覆評(何項目域已現)
- 信級(高/中/低)含理
- 建下步:何提定先擴
得:驗析報含摘表、信評、可行下步。報自足——未見源項目者亦可讀解所提概念。
敗:逾兩成提敗末礦試→返四(煉)以更高抽象再提。覆少於識域六成→返二(析)取更多檔。
## 驗
- [ ] 探報含項目構、語、量、所稱旨
- [ ] 析識域、動、角、流含本/偶分類
- [ ] 禪檢清施偏——出無架語
- [ ] 諸提元過礦試(質非施末)
- [ ] 技以動名、代理以名名、團以群描述名
- [ ] 諸名泛——無項目專引
- [ ] 提數於典範(5-15 總非 1 非 30)
- [ ] 出定循 agentskills.io 式(前+節)
- [ ] 過提與欠提察皆過
- [ ] 末淬評含計、覆、信、下步
- [ ] 全析報無源亦可解
## 忌
- **鏡目構**:每源檔一技而非提橫切概念。金宜映項目之**概念**構非檔系。20 檔項目非 20 技
- **拜架**:提「configure-nextjs-api-routes」而非「define-api-endpoints」。剝架,留模。礦試捕之:「無 Next.js 可存乎?」若否,乃渣
- **角脹**:每模一代理。多項目有 2-5 真角需異專,非 20。尋**評斷**與**溝通**異,非僅功能異
- **略礦試**:最大敗模。各出必過:「此概念可存於異施乎?」引具庫、API、數模→渣非金
- **生施指**:提技宜**概念**草(3-5 高層步)非全施程。乃由 `create-skill` 養之種,非成品。50 步提乃複非質
- **泛名不足**:「UserAuthService」乃類名非概念。「identity-manager」乃角。「manage-user-identity」乃技。由具至共
- **忽合作模**:團最難提因合作常隱。尋碼審流、署管、系間數遞、批准鏈——彼顯團構
