By
Sebastien Dubois
Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
A practical guide on building reusable AI agent skills by turning repeatable processes into automation. The article outlines a 5-step methodology: Do (perform the process manually), Codify (document the steps), Run (execute with AI assistance), Iterate (refine based on results), and Skillify (package into a reusable AI skill). The approach emphasizes living the process first before automating it, drawing from Evelyn Chapman's first four steps and adding the fifth step of actual automation packaging.
