Describe the deliverable
Specify who will use the output and where it will appear. A product brief, an implemented interface, a raster image and a rendered film have different review criteria. Write the format, size, deadline and decisions the output must support before searching by skill name.
Pick one production route
Use the skill’s stated purpose rather than its popularity or source label as your first filter. For images, generated raster, composed static design and procedural art are different methods. For product work, a strategy or opportunity tree clarifies choices before a PRD records the selected scope. Choose the shortest route that exposes the decision you need to review.
Prepare a usable handoff
Each step should receive the facts and files it actually needs. Pass approved tokens to an interface workflow, accepted requirements to a user-story workflow, or a scene sequence and available media to a rendering workflow. Keep the distinction between supplied evidence and an agent’s proposed interpretation in the handoff.
- The handoff names an output format and the person who will review it.
- Supplied research, assumptions and proposed changes remain distinguishable.
- The next skill has the files, context and runtime required by its source.
Review before expanding the chain
Produce one representative screen, document section or short scene sequence. Inspect the actual file, record missing inputs and resolve the most consequential uncertainty. Add another skill only when you can explain what it contributes and how you will check its output. An editorial collection provides a starting sequence, not proof that a combined installation or automatic chain has been tested.
