Claude just got a major upgrade.
This update feels like a real step forward in making AI actually useful for specific workflows.
Skills let you teach Claude exactly how you want work done, then reuse those instructions across every conversation.
No more re-explaining your process. No more fixing AI output to match your standards.
Think of it like training an employee once, then having them apply that training automatically, every time.
In this video walkthrough, I'll show you how to build your first custom Claude Skill from scratch - step-by-step, live on screen, in under 10 minutes.
By the end of this video, you'll have your first skill live in Claude and ready to use.
