Start with work you already understand

The fastest way to learn AI is to use it beside a task whose good and bad outcomes you can already recognize. Familiar work gives you a built-in quality check.

Show the context, not just the request

Useful context includes the goal, audience, constraints, examples, and what a good result must make easier. Context turns a generic answer into a relevant one.

Save the behavior that earns a second use

When a method works twice, capture its inputs, sequence, checks, and stopping rule. That is the moment a conversation begins turning into a Skill.
