[0:00] Hey everyone. Today, I am going to build

[0:03] an AI skill from scratch and share five

[0:06] advanced tips along the way that you

[0:08] won't find anywhere else. And that's

[0:10] because I've been completely AI

[0:12] skill-pilled. It's just incredible to be

[0:14] able to encode my personal knowledge and

[0:16] tastes into a reusable AI skill that can

[0:19] help me save so much time every week.

[0:22] And I promise you, if you build your own

[0:23] skills, it can help you save time, too.

[0:26] All right, so let's do a quick recap

[0:27] first. What exactly is an AI skill?

[0:30] Well, a skill is just a folder with

[0:32] instructions that AI can trigger for a

[0:35] given task.

[0:36] And why don't we build a skill to edit

[0:39] long-form posts and long-form copy? And

[0:41] we'll call it the edit post skill.

[0:43] And this is what the skill will look

[0:44] like by the end of this tutorial. It's

[0:46] going to have a bunch of files

[0:48] and it's going to be in a folder. And

[0:50] we're going to build a skill live by

[0:52] following these five steps. So, first,

[0:54] we are going to create the skill by

[0:56] using my best examples and personal

[0:58] context. Then, we are going to uh be

[1:01] explicit about when the skill should

[1:03] trigger by updating the description of

[1:05] the skill.

[1:06] And then, we are going to test the skill

[1:08] manually and build an evals.md

[1:12] so that it can actually check its own

[1:13] work and improve its own output without

[1:15] us even being there.

[1:17] And number four, we are going to build a

[1:19] memory.md so the skill has memory of our

[1:21] past conversations and can actually

[1:24] improve itself over time.

[1:26] And then finally, I'm going to show you

[1:27] a skill

[1:28] that can help you
