Capture a hard-won "golden path" from the current session as a reusable Agent Skill, so future sessions start already knowing it. Use it (1) right after non-trivial debugging, after working out a multi-step operational workflow, or after rediscovering project facts you didn't know up front — e.g. how to reach the dev/prod database, where credentials and env vars live, how to deploy, run migrations, or verify a change live; and (2) whenever the user says "remember this", "save this as a skill", "make a skill for this", "don't make me re-explain this next time", or otherwise wants a workflow preserved across sessions. Proactively recognize the moment even when unprompted: if a task took several attempts before it worked, used non-obvious tooling, or is likely to recur, harvest it without asking first. Delegates to a subagent when your tool supports one, or works inline, to extract the proven procedure into a new project-local or global skill.
