Step 3 Redesigned: Skills Drive the Build¶

The Build Workflows step has been redesigned around a core idea: the model and user collaborate through skills to design and construct AI building blocks together. Instead of six separate reference pages, Build is now a streamlined three-part flow — Design, Construct, Run — with a new visual diagram and clear deliverables at each stage.

Skill-driven framework orchestration¶

The Build Workflows step now works through the building-workflows skill, which orchestrates the full Design and Construct phases. In Design, the model collaborates with you on architecture decisions, execution patterns, and building block mapping — producing an AI Building Block Spec. In Construct, the model executes against that spec to generate your platform's building blocks, then delivers a Launch Guide with step-by-step setup instructions, a guided first run, and next steps.

The skill now starts each build by reading the cookbook's curated platform documentation for your specific platform, then verifies currency via web search — so recommendations stay current without relying on stale static mappings.

New Construct page replaces six building block pages¶

Six individual pages (Context, Projects, Skills, Prompt, Agents, MCP) have been consolidated into a single Construct page. The model handles most of the build process automatically, so the page now focuses on what you need to do yourself: gather business-specific context, configure external tool connections, and operationalize agents on your platform — with links to platform-specific guides for Claude, OpenAI, Google, and M365 Copilot.

Analyze and Deconstruct shift to skills¶

The Analyze and Deconstruct pages have been updated to reference skills instead of raw prompt templates. The standalone prompt page for Deconstruct has been removed — the deconstructing-workflows skill now drives the process directly.

Cross-platform skills standard¶

The Skills building block page now documents the Agent Skills open standard across five platforms — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and VS Code Copilot — with a new How to Add Skills to Your Platform installation guide. The Agents & Skills section (formerly "Marketplace") now leads with GitHub download as the primary access method, reflecting the cross-platform positioning.
