Milwaukee SPIN: Turning Your Expertise into Agentic Skills

DewWow is a Platinum sponsor of Milwaukee SPIN. Their 2026-2027 season opens on Tuesday, September 22 at Novus Home Mortgage in Brookfield, and the meeting is free and open to anyone. You do not have to be a member.

Robert M Orozco presents Turning Your Expertise into Agentic Skills: Personal Methodology, Made Executable. He is an independent AI advisor and Executive in Residence at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

What the talk covers

The problem he is going after, in his own words: the AI result is good, but "the methodology lives in one person's chat history" and what transfers to a colleague is the prompt and the output, never the judgment behind them.

• A nine-step method for turning how you actually work into a reusable skill
• Surfacing the hidden context and decision rules behind a good result
• Breaking one long prompt into modules with real interface contracts
• Guardrails and tests, so you are testing a method and not a demo
• Storing skills in a governed repository where they inherit shared standards

Details

• When: Tuesday, September 22, 2026. Food and networking 5:30 to 6:15 pm, announcements and the talk 6:15 to 7:45 pm CDT
