Building Skills: Turn Repeated Tasks Into a Saved Skill

In this AI Workshops session, Forum3 AI specialist Kait Smith explains what a skill is, a saved playbook an AI can reuse, and how to build one by talking to ChatGPT or Claude. She uses a weekly project update with four sections (wins, work in progress, blockers and next steps) to show what stays fixed in a skill and what changes each week.

Kait builds the skill live in ChatGPT, asks for an example before saving it, then tests it in a fresh conversation against a call transcript. The Q&A covers how to name skills so the wrong one is not triggered, how to decide between a skill and a normal prompt, and working in regulated fields.

Viewers leave with a five-part approach for turning one repeated task into a skill: when it applies, the input, the steps, what good looks like and what still needs approval.
