In the first workshop last Thursday, David made a comment to the effect that it might have been better if he hadn’t called things for the Robot Assistant “skills”, since that’s a word that has a specific meaning for Anthropic and Claude. It sounds like he really was using skills in the same sense as Anthropic at the start, but things diverged. I ran into a couple of places where Claude had some challenges because the term “skill” is overloaded with the Robot Assistant context, and I really did want to use a Claude Skill.
So, after some discussion, I made a good back up of my RA folder and then had Claude rename things. I now have a Runbook, which is made up of Procedures. That works for me, given my background in IT. I can now ask my RA to review the runbook, update the procedure for , … The language is still natural (for me), and there’s no longer an issue with the term Skill being overloaded.
Your mileage may vary.
