Turn your best prompt into a skill

1 · Learn the move · Tool choice + routing
A prompt you've run more than twice doesn't belong in your clipboard — it belongs in a Cowork skill you trigger by name. That's the routing call: a one-off stays in chat, a repeatable job becomes a skill. Give it a short name, a one-line 'use this when…' description, and paste your proven prompt as the instructions. Now the prompt you practiced runs in one click, forever.
Turn this into a Cowork skill. name: friday-update. description: use when I need my weekly market update for active clients. instructions: [paste my proven prompt]. Output it as a paste-ready SKILL.md block.
2 · Your turn — you write the prompt
Every Friday you paste the same market-update prompt into Claude by hand. It works — you've tuned it over weeks. Write the skill definition that turns it into a one-click 'friday-update' skill you run instead of re-pasting.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional — these shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
