# Next Steps

> **Skill Seekers v3.6.0**  
> **Where to go after creating your first skill**

---

## You've Created Your First Skill! 🎉

Now what? Here's your roadmap to becoming a Skill Seekers power user.

---

## Immediate Next Steps

### 1. Try Different Sources

You've done documentation. Now try:

```bash
# GitHub repository
skill-seekers create facebook/react --name react

# Local project
skill-seekers create ./my-project --name my-project

# PDF document
skill-seekers create manual.pdf --name manual
```

### 2. Package for Multiple Platforms

Your skill works everywhere:

```bash
# Create once
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --name django

# Package for all platforms
for platform in claude gemini openai langchain; do
  skill-seekers package output/django/ --target $platform
done
```

### 3. Scan an entire project (AI-driven)

Bootstrap a full knowledge base for a real project in one command — see
[Scan a project](05-scan-a-project.md):

```bash
skill-seekers scan ./my-react-app --out ./configs/scanned/
# Emits one config per detected framework + my-react-app-codebase.json
```

### 4. Explore Enhancement Workflows

```bash
# See available workflows
skill-seekers workflows list

# Apply security-focused analysis
skill-seekers create ./my-project --enhance-workflow security-focus

# Chain multiple workflows
skill-seekers create ./my-project \
  --enhance-workflow security-focus \
  --enhance-workflow api-documentation
```

## Common Use Cases

### Use Case 1: Team Documentation

**Goal:** Create skills for all your team's frameworks

```bash
# Create a script
for framework in django react vue fastapi; do
  echo "Processing $framework..."
  skill-seekers install --config $framework --target claude
done
```

### Use Case 2: GitHub Repository Analysis

**Goal:** Analyze your codebase for AI assistance

```bash
# Analyze your repo
skill-seekers create your-org/your-repo --preset comprehensive

# Install to Cursor for coding assistance
skill-seekers install-agent output/your-repo/ --agent cursor
```

### Use Case 3: RAG Pipeline

**Goal:** Feed documentation into vector database

```bash
# Create skill
skill-seekers create https://docs.djangoproject.com/ --name django

# Export to ChromaDB
skill-seekers package output/django/ --target chroma

# Or export directly
export_to_chroma(skill_directory="output/django/")
```

### Use Case 4: Documentation Monitoring

**Goal:** Keep skills up-to-date automatically

```bash
# Check for changes
skill-seekers update output/django/ --check-changes

# Update if changed
skill-seekers update output/django/
```

## By Interest Area

### For AI Skill Builders

Building skills for Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT?

**Learn:**
- Enhancement workflows for better quality
- Multi-source combining for comprehensive skills
- Quality scoring before upload

**Commands:**
```bash
skill-seekers quality output/my-skill/ --report
skill-seekers create ./my-project --enhance-workflow architecture-comprehensive
```

### For RAG Engineers

Building retrieval-augmented generation systems?

**Learn:**
- Vector database exports (Chroma, Weaviate, Qdrant, FAISS)
- Chunking strategies
- Embedding integration

**Commands:**
```bash
skill-seekers package output/my-skill/ --target chroma
skill-seekers package output/my-skill/ --target weaviate
skill-seekers package output/my-skill/ --target langchain
```

### For AI Coding Assistant Users

Using Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Aider, Bolt, Kilo, Continue, or Kimi Code?

**Learn:**
- Local codebase analysis
- Agent installation
- Pattern detection

**Commands:**
```bash
skill-seekers create ./my-project --preset comprehensive
skill-seekers install-agent output/my-project/ --agent cursor
```

### For DevOps/SRE

Automating documentation workflows?

**Learn:**
- CI/CD integration
- MCP server setup
- Config sources

**Commands:**
```bash
# Start MCP server
skill-seekers-mcp --transport http --port 8765
```

Config sources are managed through the MCP tools (`add_config_source`,
`list_config_sources`, `remove_config_source`) — ask your agent, e.g.
"Add my-org https://github.com/my-org/configs as a config source".

## Remember

- **Start simple** - Use `create` with defaults
- **Dry run first** - Use `--dry-run` to preview
- **Iterate** - Enhance, package, test, repeat
- **Share** - Package for multiple platforms
- **Automate** - Use `install` for one-command workflows
