The AI Skills Guide
Almost everyone with access to AI chat has typed a question into it. A much smaller group has actually changed how they work because of it. The gap is not access or intelligence — it is six habits, in order, plus one for applying all of it to your specific job.
- Chat vs Work vs Code — picking the right AI surface for the task
- Prompting without a "framework": voice, goal, context, and treating the first answer as a draft
- Giving AI standing context, verifying what it hands back, and turning output into work you’d put your name on

What this profile actually covers
Software Developers research, design, and develop software solutions; analyze user needs; update or enhance existing capabilities; integrate software with hardware systems; and maintain databases within application areas. AI changes each of these tasks today, from turning requirements into clearer specifications to accelerating first-pass code, documentation, database work, and software improvement.
This profile maps practical tools such as AI coding assistants, code-generation and code-review workflows, documentation search, and database copilots to the work Software Developers actually do, including where they can reduce time spent on first drafts and repetitive analysis. It also shows where human judgment still matters: interpreting user needs, setting performance requirements, evaluating tradeoffs, and deciding whether generated software is correct and fit for the system. The guidance is grounded in real occupational data, not a generic AI listicle.
