Do the work once in chat before you turn it into instructions.

Turn a good chat into a skill

  1. Finish the task in chat and keep the thread open.
  2. Ask: Turn what we just did into a reusable skill. OpenWork uses the Cloud skill flow when it is available, or a local skill only when you ask for one.
  3. If the helper is available, start from /skill-creator in the composer.
