I’ve built and rebuilt Skills 1,000 times across companies I’m involved in.
I’ve also helped 50 friends build them for internal workflows and public use.
The biggest lesson:
Your company already has Skills.
They are sitting in old docs, Slack threads, customer calls, review rituals, onboarding notes, and the heads of the people who know how the work really gets done.
The method is hidden in the work.
A Skill makes it reusable.
This is the first article from what I’ve learned building Skills in the wild.
