What you'll learn

Why a Skill beats a prompt for research work

You'll understand what makes a Skill different from the prompts and how they can give you consistent, quality output

See the value on a real research task

I'll run one of my own Skills live on something every researcher does, so you can watch the difference

Where Skills are worth it, and where they're not

You'll leave able to spot which parts of your own research process are genuinely worth turning into a Skill

Why this topic matters

Most researchers are using AI as a fancier autocomplete, retyping the same instructions and getting results that almost work. Skills are the shift from that to something that holds your method and gives it back to you consistently. I want you to leave this session understanding not just what a Skill is, but why it's worth your time as a researcher, with a clear sense of where to start.
