If it's a document, show the section structure.
So that's very useful for you to get exactly what you want out of it.
And another section that Entropic recommended very strongly is the gotcha section.
This is probably the highest signal content in any skill because it's the area where it gets the model to go out of its own patterns.
Because you're looking to put here things that where the model will typically go wrong or
what assumption it might make that it shouldn't.
And you need to say something like, I know you want to do X, but don't.
Here's why.
And every failure that I've seen is probably something that you should document here after you stress test your skill.
A few things not to include are some of the classical prompting skills, like don't include the persona and stuff like that.
That's not useful.
The tools are looking to get playbooks.
A few skill killers that you should avoid.
First of all, it's the trigger.
If the trigger is not well set, the skill will never be picked for usage.
Second, over-defining the process.
Like we said, don't railroad the model.
Also, don't state the obvious.
Don't waste tokens on things that the model already knows.
And we strongly recommend that you don't skip the gotcha section because this is often when your skill will go off or will create suboptimal results.
