Watch three. Build one. Test it.
Work on your task
Choose a narrow output. Define your inputs, instructions and review rules. Build along with Ashley.
Check a second example
Find missing facts and weak instructions. Improve the skill, then choose a real-world test for the next week.
Includes the learner workbook, reusable starter instructions, a replay of the delivered session and a three-run results tracker. The workshop teaches one working skill; completing all seven is outside the live session’s scope.

- 75–90: questions, handoff and your next three runs.
What to bring
A laptop, access to Claude or another assistant, and one task you understand well enough to check. Bring two sanitized examples, or use the supplied fictional notes. Claude skill upload requires the relevant file and code capabilities to be enabled; the prompt route works as a fallback. Account setup should be completed before the session.
