The Problem with Writing Skills Upfront

Many organizations attempt to create hundreds of skills before building anything.

This often fails.

Why?

Because the best skills emerge from experience.

A more effective approach is:

Real-world implementation reveals:

  • Missing standards
  • Missing conventions
  • Missing architectural rules

Skills should evolve from reality.

Not assumptions.

Mini Exercise​

Think of one skill your team might be tempted to write upfront and explain what real project work should happen first.

Example​

Before writing a full react-form-skill, it is often better to build a few real forms and observe validation, error handling, and state patterns that actually emerge.
