Skills teach a model your process, in the open Agent Skills format. Build and test them privately in Pathway Lite, then deploy the very same skill into frontier systems such as Claude when you need more inference and more power.
A skill is a plain folder containing instructions and supporting files. No SDK, no proprietary format, no lock-in. If you can write a document, you can write a skill.
Write the skill on your own machine, against your own documents, with nothing leaving the device. Iterate freely, because every test run is free.
Run the skill against real work in a private setting. Sensitive material makes the best test data, and locally it can be exactly that, safely.
When a task needs more inference and more power, deploy the same folder into frontier systems such as Claude. The skill travels, your investment compounds.
Teach the model how your organisation writes, once, and every draft afterwards starts on-brand.
Encode your checklist, the things a document must contain, avoid and disclose, and run it against every file consistently.
Reports, briefs, summaries and templates that come out the same shape every time, ready to use.
Start building skills privately today, and take them wherever the work leads.
