Does Skillify modify my existing project files?

Yes, Skillify updates your original files by removing the large blocks of text it extracted and replacing them with concise references to the new skills, keeping your project structure intact but much leaner.

Where are the extracted skills stored?

Skills are stored locally in your project's directory under ./.claude/skills/, ensuring they stay with the project but remain modular.

How does Skillify help save context window space?

Skillify identifies sections of files that are too verbose and moves them into separate skill files. These skills are only loaded by Claude when specifically triggered, preventing the main context window from being filled with reference material that isn't always needed.

What is 'instruction amplification' in Skillify?

Amplification is a feature where Skillify takes a brief note (e.g., 'use Tailwind CSS') and performs web research to create a comprehensive skill file containing best practices, common patterns, and documentation for that specific tool.

Productivity & Workflow

Optimizes Claude's context window by modularizing verbose instruction files and researching brief tool mentions into comprehensive on-demand skills.

Skillify is a specialized context-management tool for Claude Code that solves the problem of bloated instruction files like CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. By identifying and extracting verbose sections into modular, project-local skills, it significantly reduces the 'always-loaded' context, allowing Claude to operate more efficiently. Beyond mere extraction, Skillify features an amplification engine that takes terse mentions of tools or frameworks and uses web research to generate detailed technical guidance, ensuring Claude has deep domain knowledge without cluttering your primary configuration files.
