[00:00:00] Speaker 1: the structure that we were told mattered in prompts, kind of translated over to skills, and skills are much more powerful. So imagine you could give an AI a job description and a manual for how you want it to do that job, along with the assets that it needs to perform that task, right, or set of tasks, or set of different job-related duties that you want it to perform. That's a skill, you can think of it that way. So a skill is like a user manual, or a set of standard operating procedures.

[00:00:36] Speaker 2: I was hoping you were gonna say SOPs, okay, okay.

[00:00:41] Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's SOPs, right?

Summary

The speakers discuss how principles of prompt structure translate into more powerful “skills” for AI: packaged job descriptions plus a manual/SOPs and required assets that guide an AI through tasks and duties consistently.
