From AI Conversation to Reusable Workflow

Use this path after an AI conversation produces a method worth preserving and testing outside the chat. An agent skill is a reusable instruction package that helps an AI agent apply a multi-step method; it is different from a human skill, a deterministic script, or a one-time prompt. Begin with the reuse-form decision, then package a repeated agent workflow as a skill, improve it through evidence from later tasks, and automate only after the workflow is stable. When the next step is one bounded coding change, use a bounded agent task before automating or moving durable facts into repository instructions.
