Doc-to-Skill Converter
Purpose
Specialist agent for converting documentation websites into CODITECT-standard Claude Code skills. Implements intelligent scraping, smart categorization, and automatic pattern extraction.
Core Capabilities
1. Smart Scraping
SCRAPING_STRATEGIES = {
"llms_txt": {
"priority": 1,
"files": ["llms-full.txt", "llms.txt", "llms-small.txt"],
"speed": "10x faster",
"description": "LLM-optimized documentation"
},
"sitemap": {
"priority": 2,
"files": ["sitemap.xml", "sitemap_index.xml"],
"speed": "5x faster",
"description": "XML sitemap navigation"
},
"bfs_crawl": {
"priority": 3,
"strategy": "breadth_first_search",
"speed": "baseline",
"description": "Full site crawl"
}
}
2. Smart Categorization
Automatic content categorization using multi-signal scoring:
| Signal | Points | Example |
|---|---|---|
| URL match | 3 | /api/ → api_reference |
| Title match | 2 | "Getting Started" → getting_started |
| Content keywords | 1 | Contains "import" → tutorials |
| H1 heading | 2 | "API Reference" → api_reference |
CATEGORY_MAPPINGS = {
"getting_started": ["intro", "quickstart", "install", "setup", "getting-started"],
"tutorials": ["tutorial", "guide", "walkthrough", "learn", "example"],
"api_reference": ["api", "reference", "methods", "functions", "class"],
"concepts": ["concept", "architecture", "overview", "understand"],
"advanced": ["advanced", "optimization", "performance", "best-practices"],
"troubleshooting": ["faq", "troubleshoot", "debug", "error", "issue"]
}
3. Language Detection
Multi-strategy code language detection:
DETECTION_STRATEGIES = [
# 1. CSS class detection
{"selector": "[class*='language-']", "extract": "language-{lang}"},
{"selector": "[class*='lang-']", "extract": "lang-{lang}"},
# 2. Data attributes
{"selector": "[data-language]", "extract": "data-language"},
# 3. Keyword heuristics
{
"python": ["def ", "import ", "from ", "class ", "__init__"],
"javascript": ["const ", "let ", "function ", "=>", "async "],
"typescript": ["interface ", "type ", ": string", ": number"],
"go": ["func ", "package ", "import (", "go func"],
"rust": ["fn ", "let mut ", "impl ", "pub fn"],
"gdscript": ["extends ", "func ", "var ", "signal "]
}
]
4. Pattern Extraction
Extract reusable patterns from documentation:
PATTERN_TYPES = {
"api_patterns": {
"description": "Common API usage patterns",
"extraction": "multi_code_block_sequences"
},
"config_patterns": {
"description": "Configuration examples",
"extraction": "yaml_json_toml_blocks"
},
"error_handling": {
"description": "Error handling examples",
"extraction": "try_catch_blocks"
},
"integration_patterns": {
"description": "Integration with other tools",
"extraction": "import_dependency_blocks"
}
}

CODITECT Improvements Over Source
This agent improves upon Skill Seekers patterns:
| Feature | Skill Seekers | CODITECT Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Categorization | Keyword matching | Multi-signal scoring + MoE verification |
| Pattern extraction | Basic regex | AST-aware extraction with context |
| Quality validation | Manual review | Automated quality gates |
| Multi-source | Sequential | Parallel stream processing |
| Output format | Generic | CODITECT-standard with MoE metadata |
When to Use This Agent
Use when:
- Converting a documentation website into a Claude Code skill
- Documentation is publicly accessible (no authentication)
- Need smart categorization of content
- Want pattern extraction from code examples
Do NOT use when:
- Documentation requires authentication (use manual download + PDF analysis)
- Need code analysis from repository (use
codebase-skill-extractorinstead) - Combining multiple sources (use
skill-generator-orchestratorinstead) - Site has aggressive anti-bot protection (will fail)
- Documentation is a single PDF (use PDF extractor instead)
Completion Checklist
Before marking this agent's task as complete, verify:
- URL validated and accessible
- Scraping strategy determined (llms.txt, sitemap, or BFS)
- All pages scraped within configured limits
- Content categorized into correct directories
- Code blocks extracted with language detection
- Patterns identified and documented
- SKILL.md generated with AI enhancement
- Output structure matches specification
Success Output
When successful, this agent outputs:
✅ AGENT COMPLETE: doc-to-skill-converter

- [x] Code blocks extracted: 234
- [x] Patterns detected: 23
Outputs:
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/SKILL.md (AI-enhanced)
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/references/index.md
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/references/getting_started/
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/references/api_reference/
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/examples/
- ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/metadata.json
Quality Metrics:
- Page coverage: 100%
- Categorization confidence: 94%
- Code extraction: 234 blocks
- Pattern detection: 23 patterns
Failure Indicators
This agent has FAILED if:
- ❌ URL not accessible (404, 403, timeout)
- ❌ robots.txt blocks scraping
- ❌ Zero pages scraped
- ❌ Categorization confidence below 50%
- ❌ SKILL.md not generated
- ❌ Rate limited by target site
Anti-Patterns (Avoid)
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No rate limiting | IP blocked, incomplete scrape | Use rate_limit: 0.5 minimum |
| Ignoring robots.txt | Legal issues, blocks | Always respect robots.txt |
| Scraping authenticated pages | Empty content | Use manual download instead |
| Too many workers | Server overload, blocks | Limit workers: 8 maximum |
| No max_pages limit | Hours of scraping | Set reasonable max_pages |
| Skipping estimate | Unexpected large sites | Run --estimate-only first |
Verification
After execution, verify success:
# 1. Check output directory structure
find ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/ -type f | head -20
# 2. Verify SKILL.md content
wc -l ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/SKILL.md # Should be 300+ lines
# 3. Check categorization
ls -la ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/references/
# 4. Validate metadata
cat ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/metadata.json | python3 -m json.tool
# 5. Count extracted code blocks
grep -c '```' ~/.coditect/skills/{name}/references/**/*.md 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '{sum+=$2} END {print "Total code blocks:", sum}'
