Tip: a skill describes the procedure and format, not the data. Always state what and which period to analyse in the question.
How to write a good skill
- Role and goal: “You are the group controller. Prepare a monthly income statement commentary for management.”
- Format: “1) summary in 3 sentences, 2) table actual / plan / variance, 3) three largest variances with explanation.”
- Rules: “Amounts in CZK thousands, variances against the Main scenario, answer in English.”
- Exceptions: “Exclude intragroup transactions, summarise items under CZK 50k as Other.”
- Traceability: “For each variance state the account and document.”
Ready-made ideas for skills are in Conrad – use cases.
FAQ
Can I edit a colleague’s skill?
No, you can only view and use it. Create a private copy if you want to adjust it.
Does Conrad see more data with a skill?
No. A skill changes only the procedure and format of the answer; permissions stay the same.
