How popopo-99/build-your-own-skill works
Build Your Own Skill is an instruction-driven product for turning a person’s experience, prompts, SOPs, or existing Skill into a reusable AI capability. Its principal workflow moves from discovery and scoping through design, architecture, building, and iterative testing or repair, with file creation gated on the user’s request. The README describes SKILL.md as the orchestration layer and references as detailed methods; it also documents templates, examples, and teaching case studies. No source excerpts were provided, so relationships below rely on README statements only.
