Description

In this episode, Amir takes us through how to use Claude Skills to build digital employees. We cover practical demos including an A/B testing idea agent, marketing insight analyzer, and a live build of a tweet-to-newsletter converter. You'll learn what Claude Skills actually are, why they represent the biggest leap since sub-agents, and how to build them yourself—even if you've never written a custom AI workflow before.

Key Points

  • Claude Skills are automated workflows that apply globally or per-project, pulling context only when relevant to specific tasks

  • Skills solve the "context rot" problem where too much context degrades LLM performance and increases hallucination

  • You can create custom Skills using markdown files with instructions, reference documents, and executable scripts

  • The tweet-to-newsletter converter built live demonstrates Skills' ability to match tone and style with minimal training

  • Poor AI fluency and prompting—not the tools themselves—explain why enterprise AI adoption is declining
