1. Codify Your Unique Industry Playbooks into Reusable Multi-Agent Capabilities

Every high-performing agency and domain expert has proprietary standard operating procedures (SOPs) that set their work apart: a specific way of structuring UK FCA-compliant financial product reviews, a proven SaaS comparison matrix template, a technical B2B cybersecurity threat-brief format, or a high-converting local service landing page blueprint. Re-typing those intricate instructions into chat prompts every day is slow and inconsistent.

The Agency Skill Marketplace (/marketplace)—overseen by Grace AI (HR & Training) and Michael AI (Managing Director)—lets you encapsulate complex domain playbooks into modular Skills. With one click, you can equip Daniel AI, Shaun AI, Meg AI, or Mandy AI with specialized vertical skills, or author your own custom skills that enforce your exact structure, tone, mandatory tables, and compliance checks across every run.

One-Click Vertical & Format Skill Installation

Equip your AI writers and auditors with pre-built skills for SaaS comparisons, eCommerce buying guides, UK/US legal & financial compliance, local SEO landing pages, and digital PR studies.

Custom SOP-to-Skill Authoring Studio

Convert your internal agency SOPs, style guides, and verification rubrics into structured Agent Skills assigned to specific specialists on your team.

Deterministic Output & Rubric Enforcement

Each skill defines required section structures, mandatory data tables, forbidden phrases, and quality-control acceptance criteria checked by Meg AI and Grace AI.

Private Workspace Locking or Marketplace Sharing

Keep your proprietary agency skills 100% private to your organization’s workspaces, or publish verified skills to the community marketplace.

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Are our custom agency skills visible to other users on the platform?

No—unless you explicitly choose to publish a skill to the public community catalog, all custom skills you create remain strictly private to your own workspace.

What is the difference between Project Briefcase documents and a Custom Skill?

Your Project Briefcase (/briefcase) holds the factual truth about a specific company (product specs, pricing, case studies). A Custom Skill (/marketplace) defines the repeatable "how-to" methodology, structural template, and quality rubric an agent uses to execute a task.

Can I assign different skills to different client projects?

Yes. A FinTech client workspace can run a strict FCA-Compliance Editorial Skill while an eCommerce client workspace runs a Product Comparison & Buying Guide Skill.

Do I need to know how to code to build a Custom Skill?

Not at all. You define the skill’s objective, structural steps, tone rules, and quality checklist in plain English inside /marketplace, and Grace AI formats it for the agent runtime.

Shaun Anderson, AKA @hobo_web, is the Lead AI Architect behind Agency (thisisagency.ai). Shaun has over 25 years of experience in forensic SEO auditing. He was a primary investigator of the Google Search Leak of 2024, the writer of The Hobo SEO Quadrilogy, and a Keynote speaker at SMX Paris 2026.

Disclosure: I use generative AI when specifically writing about my own experiences, ideas, stories, concepts, tools, tool documentation or research, across the Hobo Web and Agency platforms. My tool of choice for this process is Agency—the publishing architecture I created and licensed to Candlestickoperations Ltd—using Google Gemini Pro (2.5 / 3) Deep Research and Reasoning and later models (as default). I have been writing about Google Search for 2 decades. This content is a direct result of cutting-edge HITL AI content production, using a process I designed myself and described in my 2025 ebook, Strategic AI SEO. Also note: This content has not been created to “pass off” as human, or “write as Shaun Anderson” (me). It is raw, factually correct content. Agency can produce content with certain styles, but it is not my aim to fool anyone with it. This is the state of AI content in 2026, an example of the default Agency creative output. All content was conceived, directed, edited, fact-checked and verified as correct by me (and is under constant development). This article is amongst the first “beta-test” of Agency, the autonomous AI-powered Agency as presented in my March 2026 SMX Paris keynote presentation. Edited by Shaun Anderson AKA Hobo.
