ot sure, just explain the entire process to Claude and then ask it how it thinks you should organize the skills. Skill should walk Claude or whatever model you're using through the entire process of generating the first version of the output, along with any guidance it would need to do the job well...

I wanna talk about doing really hard tasks with AI, those tasks where the quality of the output is really important. And there's a lot of different priorities that the AI needs to consider and keep in mind.

At our SEO agency, these are things like coming up with strategy and writing content. It's one thing to articulate everything that's important to keep in mind while going through these tasks.

But I wanna talk about a pattern that's becoming very popular recently for making sure the AI sticks to those standards. I've seen a couple different names for this pattern, but I'm gonna call it iterative self refinement.

The idea is that you present the AI a rubric, or a set of heuristics by which it can evaluate its own output to determine if it's hitting the mark. So the model is given a task, let's say, creating a blog post.

And after following all that guidance to create the blog post, it's then given this rubric. These would be things like, how well does the article follow our SEO writing guidelines?

How well does the content match the brand voice?...

Skill should walk Claude or whatever model you're using through the entire process of generating the first version of the output, along with any guidance it would need to do the job well.

The iterative self refinement is just the last step of the process. However, because it should be looping through it several times, it's where it's going to spend the majority of its time on the task.

The key to getting this to work well is creating a rubric that is rigorous but not rigid. You want to take your time in defining clearly and meticulously what success looks like without dictating arbitrary rigid guidelines like specific word counts or keyword density.

If you're lazy with this step and you just provide vague or high level goals, what you're gonna find is the models will typically rate themselves very favourably. They might go through one round of revisions and not make any meaningful edits...
