Skill From Masters - Domain Expert Methodology Suite Setup - Setup Guide¶

Source: gbsoss/skill-from-masters (1,586⭐, MIT, main branch, updated 2026-09-29) Skill: gbsoss/skill-from-masters (4 installable skills, 2.1K combined installs) Publisher: gbsoss Category: Skill Authoring / Knowledge Extraction Quality Tier: 🔵 Community (good-faith publisher, minimal external verification - verified Sep 30, 2026)

Skill From Masters builds agent skills from proven expert methodologies rather than generic instructions. It extracts working patterns from domain-expert GitHub repositories and notebooks, then converts them into reusable skills in the open SKILL.md format, so agents inherit battle-tested approaches instead of re-deriving them. The suite ships four skills: the core skill-from-masters builder, a search-skill for locating existing skills, a skill-from-github extractor, and a skill-from-notebook converter for Jupyter-based expert workflows.

Installation¶

# Full suite

# Or clone the repo and copy skills directly
git clone https://github.com/gbsoss/skill-from-masters

Verify the indexed skills with npx skills add gbsoss/skill-from-masters --list.

Roster - All 4 Skills¶

Skill	Installs	Does
skill-from-masters	754	Core builder: extracts a proven methodology from an expert source and scaffolds it into a reusable SKILL.md skill
search-skill	483	Finds existing skills by topic before authoring a new one, avoiding duplicates in the skill library
skill-from-github	480	Converts patterns and workflows from a GitHub repository into an installable agent skill
skill-from-notebook	372	Turns expert Jupyter notebook workflows into documented, reusable agent skills

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

Use Case	How
Skill library growth	`skill-from-github` converts proven patterns from high-signal repos into candidate skills for the Hermes catalog
Notebook workflow capture	`skill-from-notebook` turns recurring data-analysis notebook workflows into reusable skills
Duplicate prevention	`search-skill` checks existing skills before authoring, keeping the catalog free of near-duplicates

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations / Verification¶

All four skills target skill authoring and knowledge extraction, with nothing for general agent tasks
Per-skill install counts are modest (372 to 754), so community validation is limited
Extraction quality depends on the source repo or notebook being well structured
Verify: npx skills add gbsoss/skill-from-masters --list shows 4 skills
