Lunch and Learn: Build Skills — Teach Your AI Agents How You Work

About this event

The difference between an AI that gives generic answers and an AI that works like a trusted teammate comes down to one thing: **skills.** A skill is a reusable playbook — your rules, your voice, your process — written down once so your AI can apply it every time. Write it once, and every draft comes out in your voice. Every report follows your format. Every task runs your way, without having to re-explain yourself in every chat. Mark Hinkle, CEO of Peripety Labs, publisher of The AIE Network, and co-organizer of the All Things AI conference, will show you how to write your first skill — and how the same file can work across the AI tools you already use. ### What You'll Learn • **What a skill is — and why it can be more powerful than prompt engineering** • **The anatomy of a skill file** — simpler than you think; it's just structured text • **Skills for yourself vs. skills for your agents
