SKAP Implementation Phases
Detailed breakdown of the two-phase SKAP implementation methodology
The SKAP implementation follows a structured two-phase approach that transforms platform observations into autonomous agents. Each phase has distinct objectives and methodologies designed to ensure successful deployment and operation.
Learn & Translate
Explore platform and create SKAP file
Execute
Send task to agent with SKAP file
The Learn & Translate phase combines systematic platform exploration with the creation of structured SKAP files.
Objectives
- • Understand platform structure, navigation, and capabilities
- • Identify key UI elements and interaction patterns
- • Document available features and user workflows
- • Transform observations into actionable skills
- • Create platform-specific skill mappings
- • Define workflow sequences and logic
- • Establish error handling and safety measures
Key Principles
Never execute actions that could affect the platform during exploration
Explore all major areas systematically
Document specific UI elements and their locations
Think from the target role's point of view
Keep skills focused on single, testable objectives
Use variables for content, timing, and thresholds
SKAP File Structure
The output of this phase is a complete SKAP file containing:
The Execute phase is straightforward - you provide the agent with the SKAP file and send it a specific task to complete.
Objectives
- • Send task to agent with SKAP file in context
- • Receive summary and table of completed tasks
- • Review results for accuracy and completeness
Process
Simply provide the agent with:
Output
The agent provides:
- • Task Summary: Overview of what was accomplished
- • Results Table: Detailed breakdown of completed actions and outcomes
Learn & Translate Best Practices
- • Focus on observation during exploration phase
- • Document edge cases and error states
- • Use descriptive, stable UI selectors
- • Keep skills atomic and focused
- • Include comprehensive error handling
- • Validate YAML structure and syntax
- • Test logic flows before deployment
Execute Best Practices
- • Provide clear, specific task instructions in natural language
- • Ensure the SKAP file is properly loaded in agent context
- • Use job description format for task requirements
- • Review the structured output report for completeness
API Integration
- • RESTful API endpoints for SKAP file management
- • Webhook notifications for status updates
- • Real-time monitoring and control interfaces
- • Bulk operations and batch processing
Workflow Management
- • Integration with existing automation platforms
- • Custom workflow orchestration engines
- • Event-driven execution triggers
- • Conditional logic and branching support
Security and Compliance
- • Role-based access controls
- • Audit logging and compliance reporting
- • Secure credential management
- • Platform terms of service adherence
Now that you understand the SKAP phases, choose your next step to begin implementation.
