Instead of explaining the same quarterly report, client update or content workflow every time, you can package the method into a Skill and let the AI load it when that job comes up. In this video I explain what Skills are, what lives inside a SKILL.md file, where Skills can live, how the AI chooses one and how to build your first Skill without coding. I also show why small, bounded Skills work better than one giant "run my whole business" Skill, plus how to turn a successful chat into a reusable process and test it properly. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 AI Skills 101 0:36 Stop Repeating the Same Work 1:24 Why Skills Matter in ChatGPT Now 2:06 How to Use a Skill in ChatGPT 3:14 What a Skill File Looks Like 4:56 References, Assets and Scripts 5:28 How Skills Get Chosen 7:02 Where Skills Can Live 7:57 Find and Install Existing Skills 9:21 What Makes a Good First Skill 10:48 Build a Skill by Talking to AI 12:04 Turn a Working Chat into a Skill 13:12 Test and Improve Your Skill 14:18 Why Skills Matter Now 14:38 Guide and Next Steps —— Useful Resources —— OpenAI - Build Skills: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills OpenAI Academy - Using Skills: https://openai.com/academy/skills/ Agent Skills specification: https://agentskills.io/specification Anthropic - Equipping agents for the real world with Agent Skills: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/equipping-agents-for-the-real-world-with-agent-skills
