+### 🎯 Bootstrap Skill - Self-Hosting (**NEW - v2.7.0**)
+
+Generate skill-seekers as a Claude Code skill to use within Claude:
+
+```bash
+# Generate the skill
+./scripts/bootstrap_skill.sh
+
+# Install to Claude Code
+cp -r output/skill-seekers ~/.claude/skills/
+
+# Verify
+ls ~/.claude/skills/skill-seekers/SKILL.md
+```
+
+**What you get:**
+- ✅ **Complete skill documentation** - All CLI commands and usage patterns
+- ✅ **CLI command reference** - Every tool and its options documented
+- ✅ **Quick start examples** - Common workflows and best practices
+- ✅ **Auto-generated API docs** - Code analysis, patterns, and examples
+- ✅ **Robust validation** - YAML frontmatter and required fields checked
+- ✅ **One-command bootstrap** - Combines manual header with auto-generated analysis
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Runs codebase analysis on skill-seekers itself (dogfooding!)
+2. Combines handcrafted header (prerequisites, commands) with auto-generated content
+3. Validates SKILL.md structure (frontmatter, required fields)
+4. Outputs ready-to-use skill directory
+
+**Result:** Use skill-seekers to create skills, from within Claude Code!
+

 - ✅ **Multi-Source Management** - Register unlimited GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket repos

+End-to-end tests for bootstrap skill feature (PR #249)
+
+Tests verify:
+1. Bootstrap script creates proper skill structure
+2. Generated SKILL.md is valid and usable
+3. Skill is installable in isolated virtual environment
+4. Output works with all platform adaptors
+5. Error cases handled gracefully
