Claude Code Skills: Automate Everything You Do

In this monologue podcast, Brandon Hancock introduces Claude Code Skills, a new feature that automates custom workflows. He shares his addiction to it, explaining how it saves custom instructions for future use. Brandon outlines a six-step "Master" framework to create effective Claude Code skills, which involves manually performing a task with Claude Code, providing feedback, systematizing the process into a skill, training the skill through planning mode, enhancing the skill through iteration, and optionally rolling it out to others. He demonstrates this framework by automating the process of cutting releases for his startup, ShipKit.ai, showcasing how to update changelogs, create commits, tag versions, create GitHub releases, and update the ShipKit website, all through Claude Code skills.
