# artifact-to-procedure Turns a finished piece of work into a reusable skill, playbook or procedure, then tests it on a fresh case without the original. After you solve something once, the method is easy to lose. `artifact-to-procedure` extracts the steps, decisions and checks from the completed artifact or session, writes them as a procedure someone else could follow, and validates it by running it on a new case with the original hidden. A procedure that only works with the original in hand is not finished. **Use it for:** "turn this into a skill", "extract the method from this", "document what we did so we can repeat it". **Not for:** starting a skill with no finished work behind it, or summarising a codebase.
