# Skills-building before full roleplay

Learners first complete short, focused AI practice drills targeting specific skills or behaviours. Once they've developed these skills, they progress to a longer, more realistic AI roleplay conversation that combines them.

## How it flows

1.  ### 1\. Micro drills
    
    Short, focused AI practice drills, each targeting one skill or behaviour.
    
2.  ### 2\. Full conversation
    
    A longer, more realistic AI role-play that brings those skills together.
    

## Good for

-   Complex conversations, such as negotiations or difficult feedback
-   Learners who find a full role-play daunting

## In Skylar

1.  1 Set up short role-plays on single moments, such as an opening or an objection.
2.  2 Follow them with one full role-play that combines them.
