What is Enhancement?

Enhancement uses AI to improve the quality of generated SKILL.md files:

Basic SKILL.md ──▶ AI Enhancer ──▶ Enhanced SKILL.md
(100 lines)         (60 sec)        (400+ lines)
     ↓                                  ↓
  Sparse                          Comprehensive
  examples                        with patterns,
                                  navigation, depth

---

Enhancement Levels

Choose how much enhancement to apply:

Level	What Happens	Time	Cost
0	No enhancement	0 sec	Free
1	SKILL.md only	~30 sec	Low
2	+ architecture/config	~60 sec	Medium
3	Full enhancement	~2 min	Higher

Default: Level 2 (recommended balance)

---

Enhancement Modes

API Mode (Default if key available)

Uses Claude API for fast enhancement.

Requirements:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

Usage:

# Auto-detects API mode
skill-seekers create <source>

# Explicit
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --agent api

Pros:

• Fast (~60 seconds)
• No local setup needed

Cons:

• Costs ~$0.10-0.30 per skill
• Requires API key

---

LOCAL Mode (Default if no key)

Uses Claude Code (free with Max plan).

Requirements:

• Claude Code installed
• Claude Code Max subscription

Usage:

# Auto-detects LOCAL mode (no API key)
skill-seekers create <source>

# Explicit
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --agent local

Pros:

• Free (with Claude Code Max)
• Better quality (full context)

Cons:

• Requires Claude Code
• Slightly slower (~60-120 sec)

---

How to Enhance

During Creation

# Default enhancement (level 2)
skill-seekers create <source>

# No enhancement (fastest)
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-level 0

# Maximum enhancement
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-level 3

After Creation

# Enhance existing skill
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/

# With specific agent
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --agent local

# With timeout
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --timeout 1200

Background Mode

# Run in background
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --background

# Check status
skill-seekers enhance-status output/my-skill/

# Watch in real-time
skill-seekers enhance-status output/my-skill/ --watch

---

Enhancement Workflows

Apply specialized AI analysis with preset workflows.

Built-in Presets

Preset	Stages	Focus
default	2	General improvement
minimal	1	Light touch-up
security-focus	4	Security analysis
architecture-comprehensive	7	Deep architecture
api-documentation	3	API docs focus

Using Workflows

# Apply workflow
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-workflow security-focus

# Chain multiple workflows
skill-seekers create <source> \
  --enhance-workflow security-focus \
  --enhance-workflow api-documentation

# List available
skill-seekers workflows list

# Show workflow content
skill-seekers workflows show security-focus

Custom Workflows

Create your own YAML workflow:

# my-workflow.yaml
name: my-custom
stages:
  - name: overview
    prompt: "Add comprehensive overview section"
  - name: examples
    prompt: "Add practical code examples"

# Add workflow
skill-seekers workflows add my-workflow.yaml

# Use it
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-workflow my-custom

Enhancement Workflow Details

Security-Focus Workflow

4 stages:

1. Security Overview - Identify security features
2. Vulnerability Analysis - Common issues
3. Best Practices - Secure coding patterns
4. Compliance - Security standards

Architecture-Comprehensive Workflow

7 stages:

1. System Overview - High-level architecture
2. Component Analysis - Key components
3. Data Flow - How data moves
4. Integration Points - External connections
5. Scalability - Performance considerations
6. Deployment - Infrastructure
7. Maintenance - Operational concerns

API-Documentation Workflow

3 stages:

1. Endpoint Catalog - All API endpoints
2. Request/Response - Detailed examples
3. Error Handling - Common errors

---

Monitoring Enhancement

Check Status

# Current status
skill-seekers enhance-status output/my-skill/

# JSON output (for scripting)
skill-seekers enhance-status output/my-skill/ --json

# Watch mode
skill-seekers enhance-status output/my-skill/ --watch --interval 10

Process Status Values

Status	Meaning
running	Enhancement in progress
completed	Successfully finished
failed	Error occurred
pending	Waiting to start

---

When to Skip Enhancement

Skip enhancement when:

• Testing: Quick iteration during development
• Large batches: Process many skills, enhance best ones later
• Custom processing: You have your own enhancement pipeline
• Time critical: Need results immediately

# Skip during creation
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-level 0

# Enhance best ones later
skill-seekers enhance output/best-skill/

---

Enhancement Best Practices

1. Use Level 2 for Most Cases

# Default is usually perfect
skill-seekers create <source>

2. Apply Domain-Specific Workflows

# Security review
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-workflow security-focus

# API focus
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-workflow api-documentation

3. Chain for Comprehensive Analysis

# Multiple perspectives
skill-seekers create <source> \
  --enhance-workflow security-focus \
  --enhance-workflow architecture-comprehensive

4. Use LOCAL Mode for Quality

# Better results with Claude Code
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""  # Unset to force LOCAL
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/

5. Enhance Iteratively

# Create without enhancement
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-level 0

# Review and enhance
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/
# Review again...
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/  # Run again for more polish

---

Troubleshooting

"Enhancement failed: No API key"

Solution:

# Set API key
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Or use LOCAL mode
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --agent local

"Enhancement timeout"

Solution:

# Increase timeout
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --timeout 1200

# Or use background mode
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --background

"Claude Code not found" (LOCAL mode)

Solution:

# Install Claude Code
# See: https://claude.ai/code

# Or switch to API mode
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
skill-seekers enhance output/my-skill/ --agent api

"Workflow not found"

Solution:

# List available workflows
skill-seekers workflows list

# Check spelling
skill-seekers create <source> --enhance-workflow security-focus

Cost Estimation

API Mode Costs

Skill Size	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Small (< 50 pages)	$0.02	$0.05	$0.10
Medium (50-200 pages)	$0.05	$0.10	$0.20
Large (200-500 pages)	$0.10	$0.20	$0.40

Costs are approximate and depend on actual content.

LOCAL Mode Costs

Free with Claude Code Max subscription (~$20/month).

Summary

Approach	When to Use
Level 0	Testing, batch processing
Level 2 (default)	Most use cases
Level 3	Maximum quality needed
API Mode	Speed, no Claude Code
LOCAL Mode	Quality, free with Max
Workflows	Domain-specific needs
