Conversation Analysis Skill
Analyze AI chat conversations to extract patterns, identify repeated instructions, and categorize potential artifacts for self-improvement.
When to Use
- •Use this skill when analyzing past AI chat conversations
- •Use when user provides conversation content for analysis
- •Use when identifying patterns for artifact creation
- •Use when extracting reusable knowledge from conversations
Instructions
Analysis Process
- •Read the conversation: Understand the full context of the conversation
- •Identify patterns: Look for recurring instructions, corrections, or workflows
- •Categorize findings: Group patterns by type (rule, skill, command, subagent)
- •Extract key information: Identify specific patterns and their contexts
- •Suggest artifacts: Recommend artifacts to create based on patterns
Pattern Identification
Look for:
- •Repeated instructions: Instructions that appear multiple times
- •Correction patterns: When user corrects AI behavior
- •Workflow patterns: Sequences of actions that recur
- •Context patterns: Contexts where certain patterns apply
Categorization
For each pattern identified:
- •Determine artifact type: Rule, Skill, Command, or Subagent
- •Assess frequency: How often the pattern appears
- •Evaluate significance: Is it worth creating an artifact?
- •Suggest organization: Where should the artifact be placed?
Output Format
For each pattern, provide:
- •Pattern description: What the pattern is
- •Frequency: How often it appears
- •Artifact type: Recommended type (rule/skill/command/subagent)
- •Suggested name: Following naming conventions
- •Suggested location: Category and path
- •Content outline: Key points to include
Examples
Example 1: Repeated Instruction Pattern
Conversation excerpt: User repeatedly asks to "always use TypeScript strict mode"
Analysis:
- •Pattern: TypeScript strict mode preference
- •Frequency: Appears 5+ times
- •Artifact type: Rule
- •Suggested name:
typescript-strict-mode - •Suggested location:
cursor/rules/organization/typescript-strict-mode.mdc - •Content: Rule enforcing TypeScript strict mode usage
Example 2: Workflow Pattern
Conversation excerpt: User repeatedly follows same steps for code review
Analysis:
- •Pattern: Code review workflow
- •Frequency: Appears 3+ times
- •Artifact type: Command
- •Suggested name:
code-review-checklist - •Suggested location:
cursor/commands/meta/code-review-checklist.md - •Content: Step-by-step code review checklist
Best Practices
- •Focus on high-frequency patterns
- •Validate pattern significance
- •Consider context and conditions
- •Document pattern rationale
- •Suggest appropriate artifact type
