An AI skill is a structured system prompt or set of custom instructions that gives AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini specialized capabilities. It includes a clear role definition, specific knowledge areas, step-by-step processes, and quality criteria that help AI perform specific professional tasks.

How does Skill This work?

Simply describe your professional expertise in plain text. Our free AI skill generator analyzes your input and transforms it into a structured system prompt. The skill is then graded on clarity, specificity, and usefulness. You can share your skill via a unique URL or copy it to use as custom instructions with any AI assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Is Skill This free to use?

Yes, Skill This is completely free. No account or payment is required. You can create unlimited skills and share them with anyone.

How is my skill graded?

Skills are graded on a scale from A+ to F (0-100 points). The grade reflects how clear, specific, and actionable your skill is. Higher grades indicate skills that AI assistants can use more effectively.

How do I use my skill with an AI assistant?

Copy your generated skill and paste it into the system prompt or custom instructions of any AI assistant. For ChatGPT, use Personalization > Custom Instructions. For Claude, add it to a Project's instructions. For Cursor or other IDEs, save it as a .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md file. The AI will then adopt that skill and perform tasks according to your expertise.

Building a K 12 Study System

Building a K-12 Study System

Quick Start13 / 15

Pick one subject and one grade level to start (don't try to build all 10 subjects at once). Example setup for "Math - Grade 4":

/StudySystem
  /Math
    /Grade4
      notes.docx
      practice-problems.docx
      videos/ (links + downloaded files)
      progress-tracker.docx

Create the first note using the template below, then generate 10 practice problems, then find 1-2 public domain videos. That's one complete "study unit." Repeat the pattern for every subject/grade.

Recommendation▾

Clarify legal nuance earlier: Khan Academy is NOT public domain/freely downloadable despite being free-to-use, and the skill should be more precise about license types (public domain vs. CC vs. free-to-view) to avoid misleading users into illegal downloads.

Workflow13 / 15

Progress:

Step 1: Define subject + grade list (don't do all at once — prioritize)
Step 2: Create folder structure in Windows
Step 3: Build a note template in Word
Step 4: Generate practice problems per topic
Step 5: Source public domain videos legally
Step 6: Log progress and review mistakes
Step 7: Repeat per subject until grade level is complete

Step 1: Prioritize subjects

List all subjects you want (Math, Reading/English, Science, Social Studies/History, Computers, ASL, Health) and rank by:

What you need most to go back to school
What's weakest for you right now
What's most interesting (keeps motivation up)

Start with 2-3 subjects max, not all 7+ at once.

Step 2: Folder structure (Windows)

C:\StudySystem\
  [Subject]\
    Grade[N]\
      notes.docx
      practice-problems.docx
      quizzes.docx
      videos\
      progress-tracker.docx

For sensitive/historical topics like studying the Holocaust and Hitler's rise, keep them under:

C:\StudySystem\History\WWII-Holocaust\

Treat it as a normal history research unit — use primary-source-based, factual materials (museum archives like USHMM, Yad Vashem are not "public domain video" sources but are free-to-use for education; check usage terms per video).

Step 3: Note template (use in MS Word)

SUBJECT: _______      GRADE LEVEL: _______      DATE: _______
TOPIC: _______

KEY CONCEPTS:
-
-

WORKED EXAMPLES:
(show step-by-step, not just the answer)

PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
1.
2.
3.

MISTAKES I MADE / THINGS TO REVIEW:
-

VIDEO SOURCES USED:
- [Title] - [Link] - [Public Domain / Creative Commons / Fair Use note]

Ask ChatGPT to fill in "Key Concepts" and "Worked Examples" for any topic — paste the result into Word.

Step 4: Generate practice problems

Ask for problems in sets of increasing difficulty (not random difficulty):

3 easy, 3 medium, 3 hard, per topic
Always ask for the answer key separately (so you can self-test first)

Step 5: Source videos legally

Real public domain / free-to-use sources for educational video:

Khan Academy (free to use, not technically public domain but free for personal study — check their terms)
NASA.gov (public domain, US government works)
Library of Congress (loc.gov) — many public domain films/archives
Internet Archive (archive.org) — filter specifically for "Public Domain" license
US government educational sites (.gov domains — most federal content is public domain)

For downloading: use a legitimate downloader tool (e.g., yt-dlp for Internet Archive/public domain content only) — never use this to download copyrighted YouTube content without rights. When in doubt, bookmark the link instead of downloading.

Step 6: Progress tracker (Word or Excel table)

Date	Subject	Grade	Topic	Score	Notes

Update after every practice session.

Recommendation▾

Add an edge case for tracking multi-year progress toward 'returning to school' (e.g., mapping to actual grade-level standards or equivalency tests), since that's explicitly mentioned in the description but barely addressed in the workflow.

Examples16 / 20

Example 1: Math practice (Grade 3-4 level) Input: "What is 3x3?" Output:

3 x 3 = 9

Skip-counting by 3s: 3, 6, 9, 12...
3x1=3, 3x2=6, 3x3=9 ✓

Practice:
3x4 = ?
3x5 = ?
3x6 = ?
(Answer key: 12, 15, 18)

Example 2: History note (Grade 9-10 level, sensitive topic) Input: "Help me study Hitler's rise to power" Output:

TOPIC: Hitler's Rise to Power (1919-1933)

KEY CONCEPTS:
- Post-WWI Germany: Treaty of Versailles, economic collapse, Weimar Republic instability
- Hitler joins German Workers' Party (1919), becomes Nazi Party leader
- 1923 Beer Hall Putsch — fails, Hitler imprisoned, writes Mein Kampf
- Great Depression (1929) fuels extremist party support
- 1933: Appointed Chancellor; Reichstag Fire Decree; Enabling Act = dictatorship

PRACTICE QUESTIONS:
1. What economic conditions helped the Nazi Party gain support?
2. What was the Enabling Act and why was it significant?
3. How did the Treaty of Versailles contribute to WWII's causes?

SOURCES TO USE:
- USHMM.org (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum — free educational archive)
- Library of Congress WWII collections

Example 3: ASL practice Input: "Help me start learning ASL alphabet" Output:

TOPIC: ASL Fingerspelling Alphabet

KEY CONCEPTS:
- 26 handshapes, one per letter
- Practice in small daily sets (not all 26 at once): A-E, F-J, K-O, P-T, U-Z

VIDEO SOURCES:
- Search archive.org for "public domain ASL alphabet"
- Many state school-for-the-deaf sites offer free instructional content

PRACTICE:
- Fingerspell your name daily
- Fingerspell 5 new vocabulary words per day

Recommendation▾

Trim redundancy between the Quick Start, Step 2 folder structure, and Example sections — the folder structure is shown twice with slightly different paths (C:\StudySystem vs /StudySystem), which could confuse implementation.

Best Practices

Build one subject/grade unit fully before starting the next — avoid half-finished folders everywhere.
For sensitive historical topics (Holocaust, WWII), prioritize museum/archival sources (USHMM, Yad Vashem, Library of Congress) over random internet videos for accuracy and respect.
Self-test before checking answer keys — don't just read solutions.
Keep one master index file (Word doc) linking to every subject folder so nothing gets lost.
Review the "Mistakes to Review" section weekly — that's your real study material.

Common Pitfalls

Don't try to cover all subjects and all grades simultaneously — pick 2-3 to start.
Don't download copyrighted YouTube videos and assume it's "public domain" — verify license on Internet Archive, .gov, or explicit public domain sources before downloading anything.
Don't skip writing worked examples — jumping straight to practice problems without reviewing the concept first leads to repeated mistakes.
Don't treat Holocaust/WWII history casually — use accurate, sourced museum materials rather than unverified video content.
