• ALTERLAB VOICE: Follow the AlterLab skill format exactly (see template below).
• PRODUCTION-READY: Every skill must be immediately usable — not theoretical, not placeholder.
• COURSE-MAPPED: Skills align to standard communication faculty curricula worldwide.
• AGENTIC: Every skill autonomously researches, creates file-based deliverables, self-reviews, and iterates.
