repo-to-skill

Definition

A proper name for turning a code repository into a reusable capability an agent can invoke — extracting from the README, entry points, and examples what the project does and how to drive it, then packaging that as a callable skill. The motivating observation is that most of what an agent needs already exists as code, but not in a form it can discover or call. Conversion specifics belong to the paper that coined the name.
