Generate a skill

1

Paste a URL

Open getskillmd.com and paste the link to the product, API, library, or docs you want to capture.
2

Pick a mode

Choose the generation mode that matches the source — design, api, library, or generic. skillmd suggests one for you.
3

Watch it stream

The skill.md is written in real time: metadata first, then the structured body.
4

Copy or download

Grab the finished file, or publish it so others can discover it.

Hand it to your agent

The fastest path is the CLI — it writes the skill into your editor’s native rules location automatically:
npx @getskillmd/cli add <skill>
Prefer to do it by hand? Drop the file into your project root and your agent will pick it up as context:
Manual
mv ~/Downloads/skill.md ./skill.md
Working inside an AI editor already? Connect the MCP server and your agent can generate and fetch skills itself — no copy-paste.

What you get

A skill.md is plain Markdown with a small metadata header and a structured body your agent reads top to bottom. See the anatomy of a skill file for the full breakdown.

Generation modes

Match the right mode to your source for the best result.
