Extract Best Practices

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: education-learning  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill when a workflow repeated this session, wrapping up and wondering if anything should become a skill, or asked to extract best practices from this session. Mines the current session for repeated multi-step workflows, decision frameworks, or error-recovery patterns never explicitly captured via /ievo:evo. Cross-checks against installed skills/agents, then presents candidates for explicit selection before anything is authored — generalizable patterns become new skills/agents (reusing consolidate's package-authoring machinery); patterns too narrow to stand alone, or refining an existing skill/agent, route to /ievo:evo rather than reinventing overlay-writing. For a marketplace-worthy new package, optionally offers (explicit permission, never silent) to submit a distilled version upstream to ievo-ai/skills, mirroring evo/SKILL.md's upstream-escalation for a full package instead of a lesson. Distinct from /ievo:consolidate's entry-cluster mode, which only clusters already-captured overlay entries.

From the source SKILL.md

Mines the current session — not an overlay, not a file — for repeatable patterns nobody explicitly flagged, and turns the genuinely reusable ones into real, dispatchable skills or agents. Nothing is authored, edited, or posted anywhere without explicit approval at the relevant checkpoint.

What this skill does

Extract Best Practices is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the education-learning sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/extract-best-practices/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

What does the Extract Best Practices skill do?
Use this skill when a workflow repeated this session, wrapping up and wondering if anything should become a skill, or asked to extract best practices from this session. Mines the current session for repeated multi-step workflows, decision frameworks, or error-recovery patterns never explicitly captured via /ievo:evo. Cross-checks against installed skills/agents, then presents candidates for explicit selection before anything is authored — generalizable patterns become new skills/agents (reusing consolidate's package-authoring machinery); patterns too narrow to stand alone, or refining an existing skill/agent, route to /ievo:evo rather than reinventing overlay-writing.

Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Extract Best Practices skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools).
