Prompt your AI with skills.
Say the job, not the paragraph.

A prompt you never have to write again.

A skill is a file that tells the AI how to do one job: the purpose, the steps in order, the rules, the output format, and one or two examples of it done right. In Claude Code these live in a folder and load when you name them. In other tools they are saved prompts or custom instructions. Same idea.

The difference between a prompt and a skill is repetition. A prompt is what you type once. A skill is what you would otherwise type every week.

Three signs you need a skill.

• You keep pasting the same setup paragraph before the real request.
• The AI does the job well on the third try and badly on the first, every time.
• Two people on your team get different results from the same request.

Each of those is the same problem: the knowledge of how to do the job lives in a person's head or a chat history instead of in a file the AI can read.

Five parts, in this order.

1. Purpose.

   One sentence. What the job is and when to use this skill.

2. Inputs.

   What the AI needs from you before it starts. A transcript, a name, a number. If it is missing, the skill says to ask.

3. Steps.

   The job in order. Short, numbered, no adjectives.

4. Rules.

   What it must never do. This is where your judgment lives. Do not invent quotes. Do not promise results. Keep it under 200 words.

5. Format and example.

   Exactly what the output looks like, and one real example of it done right.

The prompt shrinks to one line.

Before: three paragraphs of setup, then the request. After: 'Run the sales debrief skill on these notes.' The AI loads the file, follows the steps, applies the rules, returns the format. If it drifts, you fix the skill file once, not the prompt every time.

Which job gets a skill first?

Pick the request you make most often and write the five parts in rough form. Entries stay on this page and are not sent anywhere.

Turn a repeated prompt into a skill.

Paste a prompt you keep rewriting. The AI restructures it into the five parts.

Here is a prompt I keep rewriting:

[paste it]

Turn it into a skill file with exactly five parts: Purpose (one sentence), Inputs (what I must provide, and what to ask for if missing), Steps (numbered, short, no adjectives), Rules (what you must never do, including: never invent facts, never promise results), Format (what the output looks like, with a word limit).
1. Keep the whole file under 250 words.
2. Where my prompt was vague, write the rule you think I meant and mark it [confirm].
3. Finish with the one-line prompt I will type from now on to run it.

One prompt. Paste it into Claude. It builds the whole thing for your business.

The Pro pack is a build prompt with blanks for your context: your product, your medium, your team. Fill them in, answer its questions, and it produces the complete system in your words. The PDF explains the method so you can judge the output. Ten complete, ready-to-use skills for operators, the skill-writing template, the index file, and the prompts that turn any repeated task into a skill.
