What are AI Skills (in marketer terms)?
An AI “skill” is a reusable playbook your team can run to produce consistent outputs.
It’s not tied to one assistant—many teams start with checklists + templates, then package them into tools or skill systems (e.g., agent skills from skills.sh).
A good skill has 4 parts:
- Inputs: what you provide (brand, offer, audience, channel, data).
- Steps: the procedure (research → map → draft → QA → publish).
- Quality checks: proof, consistency, compliance, and “no made-up claims.”
- Outputs: the exact format your team uses (brief, ad set, report, checklist).
