Remy Gaskell distinguishes context, tools and skills by comparing an agent with a newly hired employee. Context explains the business, tools provide access and skills describe repeatable procedures. A skill is a Markdown-based package whose name and description help the agent select it; fuller instructions and references are loaded when needed. A Gmail procedure does not itself connect an agent to Gmail.
Remy Gaskell demonstrates an orchestrator that sequences transcription, title, thumbnail and publishing procedures, while retaining human title and image choices. He also describes brand-guideline packages and a furniture-product imagery workflow. These examples illustrate reusable instructions and supporting assets rather than proving that every company process can be reliably automated.
Remy Gaskell recommends doing a workflow with the agent first, correcting its output, then capturing that established process in a skill. Brand guidelines can instead start with questions about known assets and standards. He argues for a small set of complete, tested skills and iterative updates when later use reveals errors; portability of text instructions still depends on the destination agent and its tools.
