Skill Studio

Purpose

Conduct a structured JTBD interview that captures what to build, for whom, and why — then emit a one-page design.md + design.svg spec. Sits between "should I automate this?" (automation-advisor) and "how do I package this as a skill?" (skill-creator).

Architecture

This skill wraps an external CLI tool (skill-studio) installed via pip. The CLI handles session state, coverage tracking, and export. The skill orchestrates the CLI — it does not bundle scripts directly.

When to use

Trigger on any of: "help me design...", "build a skill for...", "design an automation for...", "I want a bot/agent/workflow that...", "scope a new shortcut". Also trigger when the user describes a recurring pain and asks how to automate it.

Also trigger for session analysis: "analyze this session", "what skills could I build from this", "propose skills from session", "what workflows did I use", "what did I do in this session", "extract patterns from my work", "turn this session into a skill", "what could be automated from this". If the user references a session ID or asks about subagent activity, this skill handles it.
