A Skill is a procedure you have captured so WPOS can run it again reliably. Where a Playbook holds standing rules, a Skill holds a sequence of work: the steps to get a specific job done your way.

​
When to make a Skill

Make a Skill when you find yourself describing the same sequence of work more than once. If you have explained “how we set up a new landing page” twice, that is a Skill.

​
What a Skill captures

  • The steps, in order.
  • The decisions WPOS should make along the way.
  • The standards each step should meet, drawn from your Playbook.

​
Running a Skill

Once a Skill exists, you invoke it from the Command Center and WPOS runs the procedure, showing the plan through Plan mode first. A Skill can drive a whole Task.
Skills are procedures. Patterns are the structures those procedures often produce. A Skill for “build a services section” will usually reach for a Pattern that defines what that section looks like.
Keep Skills focused. A Skill that does one job well is easier to reuse than one that tries to do everything.
