Collaborating with Agents - Part 2

This three-part series is for learners who are already productive with AI and ready to take the next step. It moves beyond prompting and into directing: Part 1 introduces agents and reverse prompting, Part 2 covers agent skills and memory, and Part 3 focuses on designing multi-agent workflows that handle complex tasks. Participants leave with the confidence to direct AI agents and lead others through the same journey.

Building on Part 1, this session focuses on giving agents the tools and direction they need to execute objectives consistently and well. Participants learn how to turn successful prompts into reusable skills, how to manage agent memory, and how to build and install custom skills that get reliable, high-quality results. Participants leave with a working set of agent skills and the confidence to put them to use.
