​Ship a real Claude Skill in one evening 🚀

​Claude Skills Build Club is a fast, collaborative, hands-on workshop where you go from “I’ve been meaning to try this…” to “here’s my .skill file, it works.”

​In just 2.5 hours, you’ll see real examples, build your first Skill step-by-step, and ship something genuinely useful to your workflow or team, with mentors helping along the way.

​👋 What You’ll Learn

​Claude Skills let you encode repeatable workflows, knowledge, and tool integrations, like mini automations for your dev life.

You’ll learn how to design, test, and ship one in a single session.

​Build ideas include:

• ​📝 Meeting Notes Formatter — turn messy notes into structured templates
  

• ​🧩 Code Review Checklist — automate reminders for tests, docs, and style
  

• ​🐞 Bug Triage Skill — structure bug reports and suggest priorities
  

• ​🧠 Onboarding Knowledge Base — capture team acronyms and SOPs

​👨🏻‍💻 Speakers

​Massimo Olivieri

​Massimo will introduce SkillKit, a framework that makes SKILL.md a universal standard. His talk will show how developers can use SkillKit to unlock Claude Skills across any agent framework with zero rewrites.

​Attendees will learn how to make their skills portable, modular and usable beyond the Claude ecosystem.

​

​Florenz Ertling

​Florenz brings a strong blend of AI engineering, automation strategy, and real-world implementation experience. His work focuses on building practical AI agents, designing efficient workflows, and helping teams adopt advanced automation tools. As the creator of the widely-shared walkthrough “Claude Skills – 10x Your AI Coding Workflow,” he offers one of the clearest explanations of skill structure, invocation, and progressive disclosure.

​At Build Club, Florenz will share an expanded version of his framework for designing effective Claude Skills, showcasing how to structure, load, and invoke Skills for maximum context efficiency and real developer impact.

​

​Rajath Bail

​Rajath is a designer and product builder from Bangalore who’s spent years crafting intuitive workflows and creative tooling. He’s the creator of Hillnote, a markdown-first workspace that now includes native Claude Skill exporting built directly into the product.

​At Build Club, Rajath will show how he creates modular, portable Claude Skills and how Hillnote lets you export, mix, match and plug them into different workflows. Attendees will learn how to design interchangeable skills and extend what Claude can do with a clean, repeatable process.
