Authoring Skills

Saber Skills are structured agent workflows for repeatable GTM jobs. A strong skill does not just describe a feature. It tells the agent what context to gather, which Saber capabilities to use, what fallback path to follow, and what output the user should receive.

What a skill should include

• A clear job boundary, such as account research, list building, outreach, or deal review.
• A first action that gets the workflow moving without unnecessary questions.
• Tool checks for optional capabilities such as the Saber CLI, MCP tools, HubSpot, Apollo, or enrichment providers.
• A useful fallback path when a tool is unavailable.
• A concrete output format such as a table, ranked list, account brief, sequence draft, or CRM field mapping.

Quality bar

Good skills are operationally useful. They make credit usage explicit, preserve source context, and avoid broad research prompts when the workflow needs a structured answer. They should help an agent choose between the CLI, MCP tools, pasted data, or manual research based on what is available in the user's environment.

Start by confirming the target account or segment. Then gather the minimum context needed to complete the workflow, use Saber commands when available, and return a concise decision-ready output.
