Treats a Claude Skill as the AI-team equivalent of a written SOP for a human team: any process you want repeated reliably gets codified as a named, reusable Skill instead of being re-explained in each new conversation. This is one of the concrete mechanisms underpinning Step 3 – Supervised Autonomy (AI Agency CEO Model)'s "AI agency CEO" model — you can't manage an org chart of AI employees if every process has to be re-taught from scratch.
Apply: Turn any process you want AI to repeat reliably into a named Claude Skill rather than re-explaining it each time.
An inverted method for building a skill: rather than writing the SOP/spec up front and then having Claude execute it, let Claude perform the task well once in an ordinary conversation, and only afterward ask it to convert that already-successful process into a reusable skill.
Apply: after a conversation where Claude has produced a genuinely good result on some task, prompt it to turn that process into a skill, instead of authoring the skill definition from scratch before ever running the task.
