I built a Claude skill that generates Scrapy spiders in under 30 seconds - ready to run, ready to extract good data. In this post I'll walk through what I built, the design decisions behind it, and where I think it can go next. What it does The skill takes a single input: a category or product listing URL. From there, Claude generates a complete, runnable Scrapy spider as a single Python script. No project setup, no configuration files, no boilerplate to write. Just a script you can run immediately. Here's what that looks like in practice.
