🧠 The Data Layer for AI Systems

Skill Seekers is the universal preprocessing layer that sits between raw documentation and every AI system that consumes it. Whether you are building Claude skills, a LangChain RAG pipeline, or a Cursor .cursorrules file — the data preparation is identical. You do it once, and export to all targets.

# One command → structured knowledge asset
skill-seekers create https://docs.react.dev/
# or: skill-seekers create facebook/react
# or: skill-seekers create ./my-project

# Export to any AI system
skill-seekers package output/react --target claude      # → Claude AI Skill (ZIP)
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain   # → LangChain Documents
skill-seekers package output/react --target llama-index # → LlamaIndex TextNodes
skill-seekers package output/react --target cursor      # → .cursorrules

🌊 Three-Stream GitHub Architecture

• ✅ Triple-Stream Analysis - Split GitHub repos into Code, Docs, and Insights streams

• ✅ Unified Codebase Analyzer - Works with GitHub URLs AND local paths

• ✅ C3.x as Analysis Depth - Choose 'basic' (1-2 min) or 'c3x' (20-60 min) analysis

• ✅ Enhanced Router Generation - GitHub metadata, README quick start, common issues

• ✅ Issue Integration - Top problems and solutions from GitHub issues

• ✅ Smart Routing Keywords - GitHub labels weighted 2x for better topic detection

Three Streams Explained:

• Stream 1: Code - Deep C3.x analysis (patterns, examples, guides, configs, architecture)

• Stream 2: Docs - Repository documentation (README, CONTRIBUTING, docs/*.md)

• Stream 3: Insights - Community knowledge (issues, labels, stars, forks)

from skill_seekers.cli.unified_codebase_analyzer import UnifiedCodebaseAnalyzer

# Analyze GitHub repo with all three streams
analyzer = UnifiedCodebaseAnalyzer()
result = analyzer.analyze(
    source="https://github.com/facebook/react",
    depth="c3x",  # or "basic" for fast analysis
    fetch_github_metadata=True
)

# Access code stream (C3.x analysis)
print(f"Design patterns: {len(result.code_analysis['c3_1_patterns'])}")
print(f"Test examples: {result.code_analysis['c3_2_examples_count']}")

# Access docs stream (repository docs)
print(f"README: {result.github_docs['readme'][:100]}")

# Access insights stream (GitHub metadata)
print(f"Stars: {result.github_insights['metadata']['stars']}")
print(f"Common issues: {len(result.github_insights['common_problems'])}")

Unified Multi-Source Scraping

Combine documentation + GitHub + PDF into one unified skill with conflict detection:

# Use existing unified configs
skill-seekers unified --config configs/react_unified.json
skill-seekers unified --config configs/django_unified.json

# Or create unified config
cat > configs/myframework_unified.json << 'EOF'
{
  "name": "myframework",
  "merge_mode": "rule-based",
  "sources": [
    {
      "type": "documentation",
      "base_url": "https://docs.myframework.com/",
      "max_pages": 200
    },
    {
      "type": "github",
      "repo": "owner/myframework",
      "code_analysis_depth": "surface"
    }
  ]
}
EOF

skill-seekers unified --config configs/myframework_unified.json

Conflict Detection automatically finds:

• 🔴 Missing in code (high): Documented but not implemented

• 🟡 Missing in docs (medium): Implemented but not documented

• ⚠️ Signature mismatch: Different parameters/types

• ℹ️ Description mismatch: Different explanations

📤 Uploading Skills to Claude

Once your skill is packaged, you need to upload it to Claude:

Option 1: Automatic Upload (API-based)

# Set your API key (one-time)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Package and upload automatically
skill-seekers package output/react/ --upload

# OR upload existing .zip
skill-seekers upload output/react.zip

Option 2: Manual Upload (No API Key)

# Package skill
skill-seekers package output/react/
# → Creates output/react.zip

# Then manually upload:

🐛 Troubleshooting

No Content Extracted?

• Check your main_content selector

• Try: article, main, div[role="main"]

Data Exists But Won't Use It?

# Force re-scrape
rm -rf output/myframework_data/
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/myframework.json

Categories Not Good?

Edit the config categories section with better keywords.

Want to Update Docs?

# Delete old data and re-scrape
rm -rf output/godot_data/
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/godot.json

Enhancement Not Working?

# Check if API key is set
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

# Try LOCAL mode instead (uses Claude Code Max, no API key needed)
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --mode LOCAL

# Monitor background enhancement status
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --watch

GitHub Rate Limit Issues?

# Set a GitHub token (5000 req/hour vs 60/hour anonymous)
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

# Or configure multiple profiles
skill-seekers config --github
