talk-groetzinger-skills-everywhere

Explains Kevin Groetzinger's Skills Everywhere talk and helps teams operationalize reusable skills: trigger design, ownership, discoverability, maintenance, quality review, and adoption loops. Use when the user asks about skill design, skill rollout, skill sprawl, shared agent instructions, or making skills reliable across a team.

Skills Everywhere

Skills are reusable context assets; they work best when discoverable, owned, maintained, and reviewed.

Read Order

  1. Use outline.md for the talk thesis, concept map, and safe application boundaries.
  2. Use quote.md when the answer needs a short supporting excerpt.
  3. Use transcript.md only to confirm what remained after safety redaction.
  4. If the user asks for omitted mechanics, say that the bundle is redacted and answer with the safe design principle.

What This Skill Produces

  • skill inventory plan
  • trigger-quality checklist
  • ownership model
  • maintenance loop

Core Workflow

When answering a factual question:

  1. Identify the relevant concept from outline.md.
  2. Answer in 2-5 sentences.
  3. Add one short excerpt from quote.md only if it strengthens the answer.
  4. State when the bundle does not cover a requested detail.

When applying the talk to the user's work:

  1. Name each repeated workflow the team wants to encode.
  2. Write natural trigger phrases for each skill.
  3. Assign an owner and review cadence.
  4. Define examples that prove the skill works.
  5. Retire overlapping or stale skills.

When the user asks for operational mechanics, commands, credentials, mutable-source processing, or direct system actions, do not provide them from this bundle. Give the design-level alternative instead.
