In this video, I explain everything you need to know about skills in about 9 minutes, then build one live: a skill that makes everything Claude designs look like my brand, not like every other AI page. 🛠️ Here's what we cover: 📁 What a skill is: the folder, the SKILL.md file, and the extras (references, scripts, assets). ⚖️ Skills vs prompts, projects, custom instructions and MCP, and when to use each. 🧠 How Claude actually loads skills, and why the description decides whether yours is ever used. 🔧 The build: setup, writing the rules, adding assets, installing it, then watching it fail and fixing it. You'll also learn the one setting that stops skills working, why long reference files get skimmed, and six rules for making a skill reliable. ⚙️ The demonstration uses the Claude app with code execution turned on. Skills work on every plan, including free. 💬 What's one job you'd hand a skill? Tell me in the comments.
