What is SkillThis?

SkillThis is a free tool that transforms your professional expertise into structured skills that AI assistants can use. Describe what you do, and AI generates a skill file that makes ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor perform like a domain expert.

You: "I'm a technical recruiter who screens candidates using the
     MATCH framework and sources through LinkedIn boolean searches..."


SkillThis: Generates a structured skill, grades it B+ (78/100),
           and gives you a shareable link.

No account required. No cost. Just paste your expertise and go.

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”
  1. Describe your expertise in plain text (minimum 50 characters)
  2. AI assesses your input and may ask follow-up questions to capture your methodology
  3. A skill is generated in a structured format with YAML frontmatter and markdown
  4. The skill is graded A+ through F on clarity, specificity, and actionability
  5. Copy, share, or deploy to any AI platform

What is a “Skill”?

Section titled “What is a “Skill”?”

A skill is a structured markdown document that teaches an AI assistant how to think about a specific domain. It includes:

  • YAML frontmatter with a name and description (metadata for the AI)
  • Quick Start section for immediate value
  • Workflow with step-by-step processes
  • Examples with concrete input/output pairs
  • Best Practices and Common Pitfalls

Skills turn generalist AI assistants into specialists. Instead of getting generic advice, you get responses that follow your actual methodology.
