What you'll learn

LLMs are able to respond to user prompts in helpful ways, but they don’t know your preferences or have specific knowledge of what you need unless you tell them. Agent Skills are one way to give them that context. In this course, Building Custom Claude Skills, you’ll gain the ability to design and run your own Agent Skills with Claude LLMs. First, you’ll explore how and when to use Skills. Next, you’ll discover how to write Skills. Finally, you’ll learn how to manage and mix Skills you write with other open source Skills. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of working with Agent Skills in Claude needed to work efficiently with LLM-driven workflows.
