🎥 Stop Building AI Agents. Build Skills Instead (new video is up)

Jun 13 • Lessons

If you're using Claude in 2026 and you are still struggling to build an AI agent, this one is for you.

Here is the unlock: an agent is just a SKILL.

No n8n spaghetti. No custom code. A Claude skill is nothing more than a named worker with its own tools and routing, packaged in plain markdown you can actually read. Anthropic said it themselves, focus on building skills, not agents.

I have built 40+ skills now, and it is 10 times easier than the old way.

In the new video I pull back the curtain and show you:

* Why an agent IS a skill, and why that changes everything

* The anatomy of a real skill I shipped (SKILL.md, context, frameworks, tasks, templates)

* The ONE plugin I use to build a full skill in 10 minutes, called SKILLSMITH

* A brand new skill built LIVE on screen, start to finish

Then I run it and it pulls my real YouTube and Instagram data and ranks every video best to worst. All from one markdown file.

This is part 1 of 2. In part 2 I show you how to make these skills run WITHOUT you, on a schedule or a message from Telegram or Slack. Three different ways.

SKILLSMITH is free. The repo and install command are in the video description.

Then drop a comment with the first skill you would build. I read every one.

I'm already using Skillsmith

This is super helpful thanks
