Skill Authoring Workflow

Checklist and automation guide for adding a new skill to the OPC Skills project. Ensures all required files, metadata, logos, and listings are created before release. Use when adding a new skill, publishing a skill, or preparing a skill for release.

Design experiments to test assumptions for an existing product — prototypes, A/B tests, spikes, and other low-effort validation methods. Use when validating assumptions, testing feature ideas cheaply, or planning product experiments.

Test big ideas in just 5 days. Apply Google Ventures' proven methodology to go from problem to validated prototype without months of development. Use when: **New product concepts** that need validation before building; **Big feature decisions** with significant investment required; **Stuck teams** needing to break through analysis paralysis; **Startup pivots** when direction is uncertain; **High-risk bets** where failure is expensive

Plan customer discovery interviews with the right goal, segment, constraints, and method. Use when preparing interviews for problem validation, churn research, or new product ideas.

Guide a person in becoming a better teacher and explainer. AI coaches content structuring, audience calibration, explanation clarity, Socratic questioning technique, feedback interpretation, and reflective practice for technical presentations, documentation, and mentoring. Use when a person needs to present technical content and wants preparation coaching, wants to write better documentation or tutorials, struggles to explain concepts across expertise levels, is mentoring a colleague, or is preparing for a talk or knowledge-sharing session.

Prepare an organisation for regulatory inspection by assessing readiness against agency-specific focus areas (FDA, EMA, MHRA). Covers warning letter and 483 theme analysis, mock inspection protocols, document bundle preparation, inspection logistics, and response template creation. Use when a regulatory inspection has been announced or is anticipated, when a periodic self-assessment is due, when new systems have been implemented since the last inspection, or after a significant audit finding that may attract regulatory attention.
