Code2Skill

English | 简体中文

Code2Skill is a collection of installable Agent Skills that helps coding agents understand business functionality in user-authorized frontend, backend, or full-stack source code, then generate Functions, MCP tools, workflow Skills, and offline tests for other agents to use.

Current release: v1.1.3.

An agent gathers the required information and completes the user's goal

Functions and MCP tools provide business capabilities. Skills guide an agent in using those capabilities. The consuming agent still decides whether to call a tool, what to clarify, how to interpret a response, and what to do next.

What It Does

• Generates capabilities from business invocation points that actually exist in source code. Client-backed features start from calls made by the client or consumer; projects without a client start from user-specified public APIs, RPCs, services, messages, or task entry points and follow their public request, response, and contract types as needed.
• Identifies independently completable goals within a user-specified page, directory, feature, or public entry point.
• Places field provenance, selected-record handoffs between tools, request assembly, and deterministic transformations in Functions.
• Generates a Skill for each primary goal while reusing the necessary Functions and MCP tools.
• Defaults to offline technical validation and does not call live business APIs.

Supported Agents

You can run Code2Skill with mainstream coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, and Kimi Code. Generated Skills can be installed in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other environments that support Agent Skills.

See the skills CLI compatibility list for more environments. To perform live business operations, register the generated MCP server as described in each package's MCP-SETUP.md.

Installation

Install all three Skills with the standard Agent Skills CLI:

npx skills add leechen298/Code2Skill \
  --skill code2skill-generate code2skill-review-flow code2skill-review-source \
  --agent "$AGENT_ID" \
  --global \
  --yes

• code2skill-generate: generates Functions, MCP tools, workflow Skills, and offline tests.
• code2skill-review-flow: checks whether a user can complete the main goals through the generated workflows.
• code2skill-review-source: reviews request fields, transformations, and invocation chains against the authorized source code.

Routine generation only requires code2skill-generate. Run the two review Skills independently when needed. See the installation guide for migration from older versions, generated-package dependencies, and MCP registration. The detailed documentation is currently written in Chinese.

DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness users can install the three Skills as a Bundle in a selected profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:leechen298/Code2Skill#v1.1.3

See the DeepSeek Harness integration guide for installation, verification, headless profiles, and removal. Generated business MCP servers must still be registered separately according to their own MCP-SETUP.md files.

Usage Boundaries

Code2Skill produces runnable, editable first drafts of business capabilities. It does not prove that every business rule or real environment has been validated. Results depend on the generation model, source completeness, and the scope the user authorizes.

For complex writes or high-value workflows, review cross-tool data provenance, same-name field semantics, deterministic request transformations, goal-specific prerequisites, attachment uploads, and downstream bindings. Use code2skill-review-flow to check the main workflow and code2skill-review-source to inspect critical source semantics. Offline tests do not replace real API or deployment acceptance.

Quick Start

Invoke the generation Skill inside the target repository and explicitly authorize the source roots it may inspect:

Use $code2skill-generate to turn <page, directory, feature path, or public entry point>
into runnable Functions, MCP tools, and Skills.
Authorized source roots: <frontend>, <backend>, <protocol>, and <service/message/task directories>.
Use invocation points that actually exist in source code as the capability source.
Do not call live business APIs.

For independent reviews:

Use $code2skill-review-flow to review whether the primary goals in <generated package path> can be completed.

Use $code2skill-review-source to review whether <specific Skill or capability> in
<generated package path> matches the authorized source code.

Generated Package

The logical output stays consistent while file extensions, dependencies, and startup commands follow the target stack's runtime profile. The current core-export-v1 default is implemented by the node-stdio profile:

generated/code2skill/<feature-id>/
├── SKILL.md or skills/*/SKILL.md
├── function-core/index.mjs      # node-stdio profile example
├── mcp-tool/index.mjs           # node-stdio profile example
├── portable-agent-result.mjs    # helper for HTTP scenarios
├── tests/
├── package.json
├── MCP-SETUP.md
└── references/feature-context.md  # generated only when business context needs it

Each generated MCP-SETUP.md records the runtime language, dependency installation, startup command, environment variables, unmet prerequisites, and MCP registration steps. A Skill being installed, an MCP server being connected, and the live business workflow being validated are three separate states.

Generation Results

Three runs against the same anonymized, multi-goal source package:

Generation model / configuration	Date	Generation time	Composite reference score
GPT-5.6 Sol (Ultra)	2026-07-24	47m 45s	9.4
Kimi K3 (Max reasoning)	2026-07-24	about 93m	8.9
GPT-5.6 Sol (High)	2026-07-24	20m 29s	8.4

Timing ends when generation and that run's offline validation finish; it excludes later scoring, directory cleanup, installation, and deployment. See the evaluation report for the two scoring systems, methodology, and privacy boundaries. The report is currently written in Chinese.

The Skills follow the Agent Skills specification and use vercel-labs/skills for installation. Generated MCP servers use standard stdio or Streamable HTTP transport.
