What you'll learn

When to turn a workflow into a skill.

How to decide if workflow should be turned into skills versus just invoked every time?

How to write a skill your agent actually finds and triggers

The description field controls everything. We walk through what makes a good one and  what causes misfires.

How to evaluate a community skill before installing it.

What to look for in the skill file, what permissions to question, and what recent  supply chain attacks taught us.

Why this topic matters

Agent skills are everywhere. People share them, you install a few, and they kind of  work, but never quite fit. A skill built around someone else's habits will always feel   generic in yours. The ones that change how you work are the ones you build yourself.   This session covers when to create a skill, how to write one well, and how to vet  community skills.
