This video explains the concept of skills in Claude Code—how they turn general-purpose AI into task-specific experts. It covers why prompts fail for repeated workflows, how skills solve these issues, and how they are structured using skill.md, YAML metadata, and resource files. The video also explains progressive disclosure, different types of skills (personal vs project), and multiple ways to create them.
