I broke it down into 6 chapters so you can actually use this. You'll learn the anatomy of a skill (3 levels of progressive disclosure), how to write YAML frontmatter that actually triggers when you need it, 5 design patterns for different use cases, and the full lifecycle from idea to distribution. If you've ever wanted Claude Code to remember your exact workflow, this is how you teach it. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Hook / Intro 00:36 - Six chapters overview 01:00 - What is a Skill?
