In this episode I break down the best way to teach Claude how to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way: Claude Skills. I explain how Skills work, walk through how to build your own, and cover the real differences between Skills and Projects. As per always, the best way to understand this stuff is to try it yourself first hand, but hopefully this episode will give you some ideas and a nice jumpstart.
