Auto-skill-builder tool struggles to distinguish real procedures from chimeras

The `auto-skill-builder` tool, developed by dev48v and available under an MIT license, aims to extract reusable skills from session logs. While the tool successfully verifies 36 mined skills, it struggles with distinguishing genuine procedures from "chimeras" – skills constructed from spliced-together steps. A key challenge lies in filtering out these chimeras, as standard statistical methods fail to differentiate them from real procedures. The tool's default configuration emits one skill and passes all tests, but this is achieved by bypassing verification and potentially masking errors. AI

IMPACT This tool's challenges in accurately identifying reusable skills from logs could impact the efficiency of agent development and knowledge extraction.
