Massive efficiency gain: chain your AI tools (Codex, Claude, etc.) to execute a workflow, then have them generate that workflow as a reusable skill.

Think of it as programmable hotkeys for complex job tasks. Instead of manually repeating multi-step processes, you're essentially creating custom automation primitives by having the AI observe and codify its own execution pattern.

The meta-loop here is powerful: AI assists with task → AI abstracts task into skill → skill becomes instantly replayable. Scales way better than traditional scripting because the AI handles the abstraction layer.

Real alpha is in the workflow composition - not just one-off prompts, but building a library of domain-specific skills that compound over time.
