Claude Skills explained: How to create reusable AI workflows

In this mini-episode of How I AI, Claire Vo introduces Claude Skills, a new feature from Anthropic that allows users to create and load specific skills and tools for Claude's API or Claude.ai. She explains what Claude Skills are, how they differ from Claude Projects and OpenAI's GPTs, and how to create them using natural language. She details the structure of Claude Skills, which involves markdown files with instructions, metadata, and linked files, and demonstrates how to create skills using both Claude's built-in skill creation tool and Cursor, favoring the latter for its efficiency. Claire also shows how to use Claude Code to invoke these skills and how to upload them to the Claude web app. The episode provides practical insights and workflows for product engineers and designers to integrate Claude Skills into their daily routines.
