Frequently Asked Questions

The questions prospects ask most often about this course, answered plainly.

What is this course about?

It's a 2-hour course (about 30 minutes of video, plus two exercises and a capstone) that shows Claude Code users how to replace the instructions they keep re-pasting with Skills that Claude applies automatically. You finish with a working Skill and a written team architecture you could hand to a colleague.

Why use this when the Anthropic docs are free?

The docs tell you how Skills work. This course shows you which Skill to write first, how to word a description so it actually triggers, and how to share Skills across a team without breaking anyone's setup. If you'd rather read reference material and experiment, the docs are genuinely good. If you want the shortest path to a working Skill your team picks up on git pull, that's what this course is for.

Do I need prior experience with Claude Code?

Yes. This course assumes you're already using Claude Code and are comfortable with the terminal, Git workflows, and markdown. If you're new to Claude Code, start with Claude Code 101 first.

Who is this course for?

Developers and technical team leads who already use Claude Code and want to stop repeating the same instructions in every conversation. If you want consistent, automatically-triggered workflows across your team, this course is for you.

What's the difference between Skills and CLAUDE.md?

CLAUDE.md loads into every conversation. It's for always-on project standards. Skills load on demand when Claude matches your request to a skill description. If your instructions only apply to specific tasks (like PR reviews or debugging), they belong in a Skill.

Will I build real Skills during the course?

Yes. The course includes two hands-on exercises where you create and debug real Skills for your own workflow, plus a capstone project where you design a complete team skills architecture.

How long does the course take to complete?

The video content is about 30 minutes total. With the exercises and capstone project, plan for 1.5 to 2 hours to complete everything.

How much does it cost?

Nothing — the entire course is completely free. All 3 modules, 11 lessons, the hands-on exercises, and the capstone project are free. No payment, no subscription, no recurring charges.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access. You can revisit the course material anytime, and any future updates to the existing modules are included.

What other Claude Code features does the course cover?

Module 1 compares Skills to CLAUDE.md, subagents, hooks, and MCP servers so you know when to use each. Module 3 shows how to wire Skills into custom subagents for isolated delegation.

Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Introduction to Agent Skills is independent. This course is not an Anthropic product and has not been reviewed or endorsed by them.
