skilgen turns a codebase, a requirements document, or both into a living skills system for AI coding agents.
It helps you:
- Keep project knowledge in one place
- Turn docs and code into structured skills
- Make AI agents work with less guesswork
- Keep skills in sync as the project changes

Follow these steps to get skilgen running on Windows.
- Open the download page above.
- Look for the latest release, ZIP file, or Windows installer.
- Download the file to your computer.

- At least 4 GB of RAM
- 200 MB of free disk space
- An internet connection for download and setup
- A screen with 1366 × 768 or higher, if possible
skilgen is useful when you want to make project knowledge easier for AI tools to use.
Common use cases:
- Turn a README into a skills map
- Turn source files into agent-ready skills
- Combine code and requirements into one system
- Keep task instructions tied to the real project
- Help an AI coding agent follow the same project rules each time
skilgen reads the material you give it and organizes it into a skill system.
Typical flow:
- Add your codebase, your requirements, or both.
- Let skilgen scan the content.
- Review the skills it creates.
- Reuse those skills with your AI coding agent.
- Update the source files when your project changes.
If you want to keep things neat, use a simple folder setup like this:
- Project folder
- Source code
- Requirements
- skilgen output
- Notes
- Skill files
This makes it easier to review and update the skill system later.
If this is your first time running the app:
- Download the package from the link above.
- Extract it if needed.
- Open the main app file.
- Pick your codebase or document folder.
- Start the scan or import step.
- Wait for the skill system to be built.
- Review the output and save it in your project folder.
If the app offers a settings screen, keep the default values for the first run.
skilgen works best when your source files are clear and up to date.
Use:
- A clean README
- A clear requirements document
- Source files with simple names
- One main project folder
- Files that match the current version of the project
Avoid:
- Duplicate files
- Old drafts
- Mixed project folders
- Short notes with no context
A simple way to use skilgen:
- Create a folder for your project.
- Put the codebase in one place.
- Add the requirements document.
- Run skilgen.
- Save the output skill files.
- Point your AI coding agent at those files.
- Update the skills when the project changes.
Try these steps if Windows does not start the app:
- Check that the file finished downloading
- Right-click the file and choose Open
- Extract the ZIP file before running it
- Make sure Windows did not block the file
- Run the file as administrator if needed
- Download the file again if it looks incomplete
If the app still does not start, make sure you downloaded the latest version from the link above.
skilgen may create files or sections such as:
- Skill names
- Task steps
- Project rules
- File maps
- Input and output notes
- Agent instructions
- Project links
These help an AI coding agent work with less setup.
To keep skilgen running well, use a system with:
- A modern version of Windows
- Enough free space for your project files
- A stable internet connection for downloads
- A current browser if the app opens in web mode
If your project is large, more RAM can help with smoother use.
Update your skill files when you:
- Change project rules
- Add new features
- Rename folders
- Edit your requirements
- Rewrite key code files
A current skill system gives you better results than an old one.
Only use project files you trust.
Keep your source folder organized and review the output before you use it with other tools.
No. You can use it if you manage a project and want AI tools to understand it better.
No. You only need to download the app, open it, and choose the files or folder you want to use.
Yes. You can use one requirements document, one codebase, or both.
That depends on the download package. Some versions may use a ZIP file, while others may use an installer or app file.
Keep it inside your project folder so it stays close to the source files.
