You can build custom examples around tasks that repeat often in your workflow.

1

Identify the task: Choose a repeatable task such as meeting summaries, lesson planning, or document drafting.

2

Set up the structure: Create a folder with a SKILL.md file for instructions and examples.

3

Define the purpose: Add a clear name and description that explain what the workflow example is meant to do.

4

Write instructions: Include step-by-step guidance, examples, and expected output style.

5

Add optional scripts: Include lightweight scripts only when they help with processing or integrations.

6

Test and refine: Run the example, review results, and improve the instructions over time.

Example: A meeting summary workflow can extract action items, decisions, and follow-ups from transcripts or notes.
