💟 Week 2: Claude Skills - REPLAY

Okay so... Today was supposed to be clean and simple ⇢ walk you through Claude Skills, show you exactly how they work, and send you off to build your own.

Instead? Claude decided to be a little moody.

Skills were disappearing, refusing to save, throwing internal errors... the whole nine yards. Technology being technology.

But we made it work anyway. 😅

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 (𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀)

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗲:

Think system prompts, but for Claude. They're instructions you teach Claude once so it remembers forever — no more re-explaining your brand colors, writing style, or workflows every single time.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺:

Settings → Capabilities → scroll all the way down. Sometimes they're there. Sometimes they're not. (We're blaming the tech gods today.)

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀:

𝟭. 𝗜𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲

Have a back-and-forth where you nail something (brand aesthetic, content format, whatever). Then just say: "Turn this into a Claude skill I can use anytime." Done.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀

Click "Add Skill" → Write it yourself or paste in a system prompt you already built in ChatGPT.

𝟯. 𝗨𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲

Someone shares a .skill or .md file with you? Upload it. Boom — now it's yours.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹

𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆:

→ Brand colors and fonts

→ Content format preferences (carousel structure, email sequence, etc.)

→ Frameworks you teach or use

→ Decision trees (like reviewing resumes or contracts)

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲:

→ My Talk It Out Tuesday documents (I voice note → it formats perfectly every week)

→ Carousel writing (knows my structure, my CTA options, my vibe)

→ Brand aesthetic (no more copying hex codes like a caveman)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴:

→ "Why does this sound like AI wrote it?" (See the Skills Library for a little giftie gift from me to you!)

→ "Why doesn't it remember my brand voice?"

→ "Why do I have to explain this every single time?"

Skills fix that.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 (𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼)

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹:

I walked y'all through how I built mine — gave Claude my colors, fonts, vibe, and examples. Now anytime I create an artifact, I just say "use my brand skill" and it applies everything automatically.

No more:

→ Typing out hex codes

→ Explaining "tropical luxury resort vibes" for the 47th time

→ Fixing fonts after the fact

𝗢𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁:

Live on the call, we asked Claude to create an interactive onboarding checklist using my brand skill. Took one sentence. Claude pulled my colors, formatted it beautifully, made it interactive.

That's the power of stacking : Artifacts (Week 1) + Skills (Week 2) = chef's kiss 🤌

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛠️ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: Pick ONE thing you're tired of explaining

Don't overcomplicate it. Start with something annoying but repetitive.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: Have a conversation with Claude

Explain what you want. Go back and forth until it's exactly right.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: Say "Turn this into a skill"

Claude will package it up. Download it or let it auto-save.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: Test it

Open a new chat. Say "Use my [skill name]" and see what happens.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: Iterate if needed

If it's not quite right, edit it. You can "Edit with Claude" right in the skills menu, or download → tweak → re-upload.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠️ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗨𝗽: 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹

If your skills aren't showing up, or Claude won't save them, or you're getting errors — it's not you.

This has been happening intermittently for the last couple days. Refresh. Try again. It'll work eventually.

And if you get frustrated? Same, babe. Same.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📥 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜'𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗬'𝗮𝗹𝗹

I'm uploading my "Write Like a Fucking Human" skill into the Skills Library.

You can download it, upload it into your own Claude, and use it anytime you need content that sounds like a real person wrote it — not a robot trying to sound inspirational.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲

𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 → 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗 → 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘

✅ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: You just did. (✔️)

✅ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱: Create at least ONE skill this week.

Ideas:

→ Brand colors/fonts

→ Content format you use all the time

→ Framework you teach

→ Writing style

→ Decision-making process

✅ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲: Post it in the community.

Tell us:

→ What skill you built

→ Why you built it

→ How much time it's gonna save you

If you're feeling generous, share the actual skill file so others can use it too.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸:

→ Talk It Out Tuesday (tomorrow, 6pm EST)

→ Content Lab (Thursday, 12pm EST) — we're building a content workflow you can actually use

𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆: Documents. We're stacking brand skills on top of document creation so you can generate gorgeous, branded Google Docs, PDFs, and spreadsheets without manually formatting anything ever again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💬 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄

If skills are confusing, if something didn't work, if you want ideas for what to build — ask.

This is a safe space to figure this shit out together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:

Skills turn Claude from "smart assistant" into "trained team member who knows your business."

Stop re-explaining yourself.

Build the skill once.

Use it forever.
