# Skill opportunity finder
A skill is justified when **the same shape of work happens three or more times** in a session (or across sessions) and a procedural recipe would have caught it. This skill scans the recent conversation for those patterns and proposes new skills.
## What to look for
### Pattern A — Repeated user corrections
The user has told me the same thing in two or more turns:
- "always do X before Y"
- "don't forget to X"
- "make sure X is always Y"
- A correction on the same kind of artefact (PR body, commit message, diagram syntax)
If 3+ corrections of the same shape → propose a skill that enforces the rule.
### Pattern B — Repeated manual operations
The user has performed (or asked me to perform) the same multi-step operation three or more times:
- "rebase + push + verify"
- "draft + screenshot + paste"
- "fetch + read comments + reply"
If 3+ instances → propose a skill that bundles the procedure.
### Pattern C — Repeated discovery work
I (the assistant) keep re-discovering the same information at the top of new turns:
- Re-checking PR status
- Re-listing worktrees
- Re-reading the same file
If the work is mechanical and the answer changes only when external state changes → propose a skill that wraps the discovery.
### Pattern D — Repeated meta-instructions to me
The user has given me the same process directive multiple times:
- "review the comments after every push"
- "tag me in the comment"
- "use git flow not direct pushes"
If the directive appli
