Output Levels

source-to-skill produces the smallest useful artifact.

Level 0: Discard

The source is too short, noisy, or local to preserve.

Use this when the material contains no reusable rule, example, workflow, or future use case.

Level 1: Note

The source contains information but not much transferable judgment.

Use this for ordinary meeting notes, short observations, or reference material that may be useful later but should not shape agent behavior by itself.

Level 2: Skill Seed

The source contains promising judgment candidates, but the material is not thick enough for a standalone skill.

Seeds are useful for expert conversations, project reviews, or early notes that may later be merged into a mature skill.

Level 3: Mini Skill

The source has a focused topic, clear rules, and enough evidence for a small agent skill.

Mini skills should stay narrow. They should include evidence and cautions.

Level 4: Full Skill

The source is substantial and structured: a book, course, article series, research bundle, or repeated expert material.

Full skills can include references, indexes, cheatsheets, and smoke questions.
