Stop wasting time on Claude’s web app—here’s how to build skills in 10 minutes
How to package your expertise into reusable Claude workflows without downloading a million files or dealing with complicated setup
Two weeks ago, Anthropic dropped Claude Skills.
And I’m going to be honest with you: this is one of the most important things I’ve seen come out in a long time.
I’ve been obsessed with it. It’s going to dramatically change how I work with Claude, how I teach about it, and how I help clients build AI workflows.
Here’s the thing: most people are either overwhelmed by the technical setup or they’re not seeing the full potential. They’re trying to create skills through Claude’s web app and ending up with a mess of files, wasting their usage limits, and getting frustrated.
There’s a better way.
And I’m going to show you how to master this in less than 10 minutes.

If you’re not familiar with Claude Skills yet, here’s what you need to know:
You can package specific expertise, workflows, and instructions into a skill file. Then upload it to Claude. And from that moment on, Claude can invoke that skill autonomously across any chat, anytime you need it.
Think of it like giving Claude a specialized consultant on retainer.
You say “create my weekly newsletter” and Claude knows exactly how to do it—your voice, your structure, your examples. Every time.
