Step 1

Understand the format

An AI skill is a reusable set of instructions and supporting resources for your assistant. It is a different product format from a browser app or a course. Start by choosing one task, such as reviewing dialogue or developing book hooks. This guide explains the setup and review process. It does not show a paid model run or promise identical results across assistants.

Step 2

Check the package requirements

Read the product's requirements before buying or installing. Supported assistants, file access, local dependencies, and media providers vary by package. Your assistant account and usage charges are separate. Some workflows can work from attached instructions, while others need installed tools or command-line setup. Use the package's current guide rather than assuming every ZIP runs the same way.

Step 3

Download and set up

Open My Library and retrieve the skill package included with your purchase or membership. Read the setup guide, then install or attach the instructions using the method it supports. Keep the original download and identify the package version. If the workflow needs extra software or a generation provider, complete that setup before giving it a full manuscript or expecting an exported video.

Step 4

Give the assistant a clear task

Provide your own source material, the result you want, and any boundaries it must respect. For Hook Lab, that might be one blurb, the intended readers, a platform, and a spoiler limit. For editing, specify the source chapter, voice requirements, and whether you want findings or proposed changes. Begin with a small task you can inspect thoroughly.

Step 5

Review the actual output

Check what the assistant returned against your source. A confident explanation does not establish that a book fact, quotation, or technical step is correct. Approve the decisions that serve your project and ask for a focused revision when needed. If a workflow proposes file changes, review the exact files and keep the source copy before approving the write.

Step 6

Save the useful result

Export or save the output in the format your package supports. Open the actual file and check that it contains the expected material. Keep the instructions, source, decisions, and finished result together so you can repeat the workflow. A skill helps organize the assistant's work; its capability still depends on the account, tools, source material, and choices you provide.
