AI basics: Build Your First Skill
About this session
You can prompt AI by now, you chat with it most days. But you're still re-explaining who you are, your voice, your format — every single new chat. Idk about you, but doing your AI's onboarding for the hundredth time gets old.
This session fixes it. In 30 minutes I'll walk you through building your first skill - instructions you write once that Claude then uses automatically, forever - live, from zero. No code. You'll leave with one already working.
What we'll cover
What a skill actually is (and how it's different from a prompt, a project, or just pasting your context in every time)
The one thing that makes or breaks a skill - and why most people's skills quietly never fire
A live build, start to finish - watch me make one from scratch and test it in a fresh chat
Where skills fit in your wider AI setup, and which one to build first
You'll walk away with
Your first working skill, built during the session - not homework, done
A repeatable way to stop re-explaining yourself to AI ever again
Perfect for: anyone tired of re-typing the same context into every new chat. No technical background, no code.
