Analyze coding agent session transcripts to improve existing skills or create new ones. Use when asked to improve a skill based on a session, or extract a new skill from session history.

This skill helps analyze coding agent sessions to improve or create skills. It works with Claude Code, Pi, and Codex session files.
Extract the current session and generate an improvement prompt:
# Auto-detect agent and extract current session
./scripts/extract-session.js
The extract-session.js script finds and parses session files from any of the three agents:
# Auto-detect (uses most recent session for current working directory)
./scripts/extract-session.js
# Specify agent type
./scripts/extract-session.js --agent claude
./scripts/extract-session.js --agent pi
./scripts/extract-session.js --agent codex
# Specify a different working directory
./scripts/extract-session.js --cwd /path/to/project
# Use a specific session file
./scripts/extract-session.js /path/to/session.jsonl
Session file locations:
~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/*.jsonl~/.pi/agent/sessions/<encoded-cwd>/*.jsonl~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/*.jsonlWhen asked to improve a skill based on a session:
Extract the session transcript:
./scripts/extract-session.js > /tmp/session-transcript.txt
Find the existing skill in one of these locations:
~/.codex/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md~/.pi/agent/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdGenerate an improvement prompt for a new session:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COPY THE FOLLOWING PROMPT INTO A NEW AGENT SESSION:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
I need to improve the "<skill-name>" skill based on a session where I used it.
First, read the current skill at: <path-to-skill>
Then analyze this session transcript to understand:
- Where I struggled to use the skill correctly
- What information was missing from the skill
- What examples would have helped
- What I had to figure out on my own
<session_transcript>
<paste transcript here>
</session_transcript>
Based on this analysis, improve the skill by:
1. Adding missing instructions or clarifications
2. Adding examples for common use cases discovered
3. Fixing any incorrect guidance
4. Making the skill more concise where possible
Write the improved skill back to the same location.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When asked to create a new skill from a session:
Extract the session transcript:
./scripts/extract-session.js > /tmp/session-transcript.txt
Generate a creation prompt for a new session:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COPY THE FOLLOWING PROMPT INTO A NEW AGENT SESSION:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Analyze this session transcript to extract a reusable skill called "<skill-name>":
<session_transcript>
<paste transcript here>
</session_transcript>
Create a new skill that captures:
1. The core capability or workflow demonstrated
2. Key commands, APIs, or patterns used
3. Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
4. Example usage for typical scenarios
Write the skill to: ~/.codex/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Use this format:
---
name: <skill-name>
description: "<one-line description>"
---
# <Skill Name> Skill
<overview and quick reference>
## <Section for each major capability>
<instructions and examples>

The improvement prompt is meant to be copied into a fresh agent session because:
When analyzing a transcript, look for:
Keep skills concise - focus on the most important information and examples.
development
Apple Human Interface Guidelines for content display components. Use this skill when the user asks about charts component, collection view, image view, web view, color well, image well, activity view, lockup, data visualization, content display, displaying images, rendering web content, color pickers, or presenting collections of items in Apple apps. Also use when the user says how should I display charts, what's the best way to show images, should I use a web view, how do I build a grid of items, what component shows media, or how do I present a share sheet. Cross-references: hig-foundations for color/typography/accessibility, hig-patterns for data visualization patterns, hig-components-layout for structural containers, hig-platforms for platform-specific component behavior.

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
