Core findings: The essential difference between traditional Prompting vs Skills Traditional approach: • Reconstruct the context for each conversation • Coupling Prompt and business logic • Difficult to quantify the effect Skills approach: • Pre-compiled cognitive framework (similar to pre-training of neural networks) • Declarative behavior definition (similar to SQL for databases) • Testable, versionable, and composable Five-layer model of Skill Definition: Layer 1: Input/Output Schema (parameter definition and format specification) Layer 2: Role & Persona ( Role positioning and behavioral style) Layer 3: Workflow Definition (step-by-step workflow) Layer 4: Domain Knowledge (domain-specific knowledge and rules) Layer 5: Meta-Cognition (reasoning strategy, self-correction mechanism)
