Prompt
After running a workflow once, ask Claude to 'save what we just did into a new skill' — it writes the markdown and you get a slash command for free. If you find yourself repeating the same prompt sequence — pulling Hacker News articles, generating a changelog, running a release checklist — promote it. Meta engineer John Kim runs the workflow once, then asks Claude to save it as a skill. Claude generates the markdown in `.claude/skills/` and registers a slash command. Extending it later is the same conversational move. Implementation example: # Run the workflow once, then: "Save what we just did into a new skill called fetch-hackernews" # Later, extend it without editing files: "Extend this fetch-hackernews skill to also pull from Apple developer news" # Now /fetch-hackernews works from any session.
