## Skills

Reusable AI agent playbooks from our workflow. Each skill is a markdown file that teaches an AI agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) a specific procedure.

- [Image Generation with fal.ai](skills/image-generation.md) --- Generate game art using fal.ai Flux models with structured prompts
- [Concept Art Pipeline](skills/concept-art-pipeline.md) --- End-to-end 2D concept art to 3D model workflow
- [Sora 2 Video Generation](skills/sora2-video.md) --- Generate trailer clips and game footage with OpenAI Sora 2
- [3D Model Generation with Tripo](skills/tripo-browser-workflow.md) --- Text-to-3D and image-to-3D via Tripo Studio
- [Blog Authoring](skills/blog.md) --- Write and publish markdown blog posts

## What are skills?

Skills are structured markdown files that give AI coding assistants (like Cursor or Claude Code) step-by-step procedures for complex workflows. Instead of explaining the same process every session, you write it once as a skill and the agent follows it.

Think of them as runbooks for AI agents --- same idea as ops runbooks, but the reader is an LLM, not a human.
