A 3–4 hour hands-on workshop where you build custom AI behaviors using the conversational skill builder. Describe what you want — the builder writes the SKILL.md file. No code. No terminal. Turn Claude into a personal expert for email, documents, data, design, and more.
A skill is a reusable instruction set — a SKILL.md file — that tells Claude exactly how to handle a specific task. Once you build one, Claude becomes an expert in that domain on demand. The conversational skill builder writes the file for you. You just describe the behavior.
Tell the skill builder what you want Claude to be expert at — your tone, your rules, your workflow, your output format.
The conversational builder turns your description into a clean SKILL.md — ready to drop into Claude. No syntax to learn.
Save it once, use it anytime. Share it with teammates. Iterate on it like any other document. Your specialist Claude, on call.
In the workshop, you'll build several real skills — starting from your own work. These are the kinds of specialists students typically end up with by the end of the session.
Tightens drafts to your exact tone — concise, warm, no filler. Knows your common phrases and signature.
Turns rambling notes into clean action items with owners and deadlines. Uses your team's format every time.
Takes a feature idea and produces a structured spec — problem, scope, success criteria — in your team's template.
Reviews diffs against your team's checklist: edge cases, tests, naming, performance. Comments only on what matters.
Reads CSVs and produces the report your boss actually wants. Knows which columns matter and which to ignore.
Drafts responses to support emails using your past replies as the model. Right tone, right escalation rules.
Pushes back on weak ideas, asks the right questions, and respects the constraints you actually care about.
If you can describe how an expert handles it — Claude can do it. The workshop teaches the pattern. The ideas come from you.
This workshop assumes you've completed the Claude Code Basics course or are comfortable directing Claude through plain-English prompts. We move quickly into skill design from minute one.
If you're tired of re-explaining your tone, your format, your rules every time you open a chat — skills are the fix. You teach once. Claude remembers forever.
Hands-on the whole time. By the end, every student leaves with at least three working skills they actually use.
No. The skill builder is conversational — you describe the behavior in plain English and the builder writes the file. No syntax to memorize.
A SKILL.md file with a frontmatter description and instruction body. Claude reads it on demand and applies the behavior. Think of it as a reusable persona + ruleset.
Yes — or equivalent comfort directing Claude through plain-English prompts. Skills builds on the four moves taught in Basics.
A laptop with Claude Desktop installed and a Claude.ai account. We'll guide setup at the start of the session if needed.
Yes. SKILL.md files are plain text — share them via Slack, GitHub, or any file system. Anyone with Claude Desktop can drop one in and use it.
Absolutely. You'll leave with the patterns, a printable cheat sheet, and a portfolio of working skills to use as templates for the next ones.
Small groups, max 8 students. Includes the workshop, take-home cheat sheet, and the skills you build.
Teach it once. Reuse forever. Walk out with skills you'll actually open every day.
