Claude Skill Idea Matcher
Describe a workflow with toggles and get a browser-only recommendation for existing Claude Skill patterns, adjacent tools, or a new custom skill.
Interactive matcher
Describe the workflow
Use the text field and toggles together. The matcher scores public example families and flags when a live connector decision belongs in the sibling Skill-vs-MCP tool.
The recommendation updates locally as you type. Choose external system when the main value is live access to a service, not only packaged procedure.
What to do after matching
A match is not an installation decision. Open the example family, inspect its package shape, then decide whether your workflow can reuse an existing skill, adapt a pattern, or needs a custom skill with its own eval prompts.
If the workflow depends on authenticated live system access, run the sibling Skill vs MCP Decider. If it belongs in a custom skill, draft the first version with the Skill Scaffold Generator and tighten the trigger with the Description Linter.
FAQ
Does the matcher create a SKILL.md file?
No. It chooses likely skill families and next steps. Use the linked Convergent Skills scaffold generator when you are ready to draft SKILL.md.
When should the matcher recommend MCP instead of a skill?
If the main need is authenticated live system access, stateful operations, or reusable external tools, start with MCP or an existing integration, then add a skill only for procedure.
Can I use the output for Claude.ai and Claude Code?
Use the recommendation as a planning aid, then verify packaging and installation rules for the Claude surface you intend to use.
