Trace To Skill Inducer

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: agents-skills-meta  ·  Last updated:
Use when you have captured session evidence — session-retro / session- observatory-live traces in .planning/patterns/, tool logs, correction records — and want to induce a reusable skill from it. Segments the traces into candidate skill units (an LLM judgment, not a deterministic parse) and decomposes each candidate into a four-part structured spec: workflow structure, execution semantics, and runtime attachments (verification, safety, rollback, state). It emits a spec object, NOT a finished SKILL.md, and hands that spec to skill-forge. It sits between skill-integration (upstream frequency detector) and skill-forge (downstream author). Backed by Agent-Trace-to-Skill Induction (arxiv 2606.06893v1). Triggers on inducing a skill from captured traces, turning a repeated pattern into a skill spec, and preparing evidence for skill-forge.

From the source SKILL.md

Turn captured interaction traces into a structured skill spec the skill-forge loop can author from. Segment the traces into candidate skill units, decompose each candidate into workflow structure + execution semantics + runtime attachments, scrub sensitive data, and hand the spec downstream. This is the induction step of the skill lifecycle on this system: it converts raw session evidence into a design contract, and stops there.

What this skill does

Trace To Skill Inducer is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the agents-skills-meta sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/trace-to-skill-inducer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when you have captured session evidence — session-retro / session- observatory-live traces in .planning/patterns/, tool logs, correction records — and want to induce a reusable skill from it.

Who uses this skill

The Trace To Skill Inducer Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 154,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Trace To Skill Inducer Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/trace-to-skill-inducer/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Trace To Skill Inducer skill do?
Use when you have captured session evidence — session-retro / session- observatory-live traces in .planning/patterns/, tool logs, correction records — and want to induce a reusable skill from it. Segments the traces into candidate skill units (an LLM judgment, not a deterministic parse) and decomposes each candidate into a four-part structured spec: workflow structure, execution semantics, and runtime attachments (verification, safety, rollback, state). It emits a spec object, NOT a finished SKILL.md, and hands that spec to skill-forge. It sits between skill-integration (upstream frequency detector) and skill-forge (downstream author). Backed by Agent-Trace-to-Skill Induction (arxiv 2606.06893v1). Triggers on inducing a skill from captured traces, turning a repeated pattern into a skill spec, and preparing evidence for skill-forge.
Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Trace To Skill Inducer skill?
Use Trace To Skill Inducer when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the agents skills meta area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Trace To Skill Inducer" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Trace To Skill Inducer 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). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Trace To Skill Inducer is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
