memory-to-skill

Agent skill fromzilliztech/memsearch

Turn workflows from your MemSearch memory into reusable skills. Use when the user asks to make/create/extract/distill a skill from what they just did or from past work, review skill candidates, install a distilled skill, or 'turn this into a skill'. Manages MemSearch procedural-memory candidates under .memsearch/skill-candidates/, not the host agent's own skills system.
