Anthropic keeps on dropping these amazing new  features and then leaves it to us to find out  

the best ways to use them. I thought Claude Skills  was just another one of their features, but it was  

when I really started experimenting with them  that I saw their true potential. Regardless of  

how you're using AI, Claude Skills is going to  completely change your workflows. Hey everyone,  

if you're new here, this is AI Labs, a channel  dedicated to showing you how you can be more  

productive with AI. And in this video, I'll be  showing you 21 ways that you could use Claude  

skills. By the end of this video, I guarantee that  you're going to start using one of these skills in  

your daily life. Before we start, I also want to  mention that these skills are available in both  

Claude Code and the Claude desktop app. And in  this video, we'll be using both of them depending  

on the skill that I'm showing you to show you how  they work. I'll also give you a demo of each skill  

as we go along. Now, if you use Claude Code for  coding, these next skills are going to 10 times  

your productivity. So, first up, if you're working  on a coding project, you can add Claude skills  

directly into it to specialize Claude for certain  tasks. You can add as many skills as you want to  

your codebase and include assets and references  for those tasks. You can use these skills to turn  

ugly websites into betterl looking versions.  There's also the documentation skill that lets  

Claude document your entire codebase. It can  add comments or create readme files based on  

your project's content. It analyzes everything  and generates documentation. So when someone new  

joins your project, they'll understand what the  application does and the theme behind it. If you  

don't want to test the code yourself, you can make  a skill that specializes claude for writing test  

cases and testing your application. This skill  contains references and scripts in your code  

and write test cases based on your project. It  handles bugs using a step-by-step approach to fix  

them. After the skill runs, you'll find multiple  test cases in the folders where your code is. It  

writes and runs tests based on the guidelines  mentioned in the skills references. At the end,  

the skill creates a test report that shows  how many test cases passed, the percentages,  

and all the issues it found. It highlights  what was achieved in testing and mentions  

any remaining problems with suggestions on how  to fix them. You can also take a website that  

isn't ranking well on Google and optimize it for  SEO so it performs better in search results. When  

the SEO optimizer skill finishes, it generates a  summary of all the improvements it made. It shows  

the critical issues that were fixed, compares  the before and after results, and outlines the  

key improvements. It also gives you the next steps  you need to take to improve your search rankings.  

When the skill completed its work, there was a  noticeable improvement in the website. Proper  

titles and metatags and better descriptions were  added and website was greatly improved. You also  

don't have to worry about configuring CI/CD  pipelines. With skills, you can use a set of  

assets and reference files to create configuration  files for deploying your application to a cloud  

platform. At the end of its execution, the skill  generates the necessary files and implements the  

pipeline for testing, building, and deploying.  It also creates setup and configuration guides,  

outlines the next steps, and adds GitHub actions  and readme files to your project to make cloud  

deployment easier. You can also automate tools  that require lots of terminal commands. By adding  

certain scripts to your skills, you can make it  easier to use tools that have their own command  

sets like Docker or similar platforms. The skill  provides guidance on how to work with these tools  

by running those scripts and executing commands to  perform specific tasks. Now, these are just some  

of the ways I could think of using Claude skills.  If you have any other crazy ideas or use cases,  

drop them in the comments below. Also, we've  added all of these skills into an npm package,  

and I'll leave the GitHub link in the description  below. You can go ahead and run the command to get  

all these skills. But real quick, before we get  back to the rest of the skills, here's a word from

claude skills are not just limited to coding. They  have way more applications than you might think.  

For example, keeping your brand consistent across  designs and platforms can be exhausting. What if  

you could automate that with skills, too? You can  create various brand management skills that help  

streamline your workflow and assist in creating  different types of brand related materials. You  

can also use these skills to create documents for  your company like a UI specification document for  

your technical team so they can develop your  company website based on clear requirements  

while making sure all brand standards are met.  There are many more processes you can simplify  

using these skills to support your brand. You can  also remove the hassle of rewriting social media  

posts for different platforms with the social  media generation skill. It uses a set of assets  

and templates to generate social media posts for  all your platforms based on your brand details.  

You can give Claude an event and its details and  the social media generator skill will write the  

posts for you in the proper format. It organizes  the posts in a clear folder structure with a  

naming convention storing everything in a social  media folder with subfolders for each platform.  

It writes platform specific posts tailored for  each site. You can also use Claude's skills to  

create pitch decks for your business. By giving  it references and scripts, it can generate pitch  

decks based on your company's format. You tell  Claude about your business idea, and it asks  

you a set of questions. After that, it runs the  process and generates a complete pitch deck based  

on your requirements, your company structure, and  the language your company uses for presentations,  

all tailored to the goal of your pitch deck.  You can also use the data visualization skill to  

visualize your sales, marketing, and statistical  data through different types of plots and charts.  

It includes references and scripts to help  with the visualization process. You can ask  

Claude to use this skill and create visualizations  based on your CSV data. It uses all the required  

packages to generate the charts according to your  requirements. Claude will generate a dashboard  

with various types of charts that you can use  to analyze your business statistics. The data  

is grouped by regions and you can interact with  the dashboard to explore the insights yourself.  

You can view the report to see your company's  performance during that time period. It also  

includes strategies for optimizing business  performance and defining success metrics. It  

gives you recommendations on what actions to  take next with a detailed report. But that's  

not all. You can also create a skill based on  your company's policies with all the relevant  

details. This lets Claude answer questions based  on your specific requirements. For example,  

when you ask Claude how many leaves you have  remaining, it uses the details you provided when  

creating the skill and gives you an answer based  on that information. You can also create a skill  

that validates startup ideas. Whenever you have a  new idea, you go to Claude, use the skill, and it  

analyzes your market fit and competition using a  set of tools. Claude uses the tools and strategies  

in the skill to research and validate your startup  ideas positioning in the market. At the end,  

it generates a report with the key findings from  the research, analyzes relevant trends, and tells  

you whether you should move forward with the idea  or not. If you work with data frequently, you can  

also simplify your tasks using Claude skills. You  can create a skill with a data analysis focus,  

so it handles missing inputs and generates  dashboards for you. The skill is equipped  

with scripts and references to help it perform  better during the analysis process. Whenever  

you're working with data, you can use Claude to  handle the analysis tasks. When the skill runs,  

it generates a complete report based on the data  you provided. The report includes an overview and  

all the key findings from the data set. The  skill also produced a detailed dashboard with  

summary statistics, visualizations, time  series data, distributions, correlations,  

and category breakdowns. You can also stop  worrying about formatting or creating business  

documents from scratch. You can have a folder  with templates of the documents your business  

frequently uses. then create a skill specialized  in generating professional documents based on  

those templates with references and scripts.  Instead of spending hours formatting documents  

yourself, Claude handles that for you. Whenever  you request a document, Claude uses that skill,  

asks necessary questions and generates a  complete document based on your requirements.  

The document reflects the details you provided  and the template you supplied it with. You can  

also use Claude skills as a financial planner.  Whether it's for personal or company finances,  

you can create a skill with references and scripts  to analyze financial data, identify trends,  

and manage finances for you. When you provide it  with your company data, financial manager skill  

analyzes it and generates a detailed report. It  produces a summary highlighting key patterns in  

the data. Based on the analysis, it also creates  an interactive dashboard that visualizes spending,  

shows where most of your expenses go, and  compares income versus expenses. It also gives you  

datadriven recommendations from the report. You  can also use Claude skills if you're a researcher.  

You can give it templates for the types of papers  you usually write and include your previous  

writings as samples. Then using a research paper  writer skill, Claude can generate a research paper  

based on the topic you provide. Once you provide  your research topic, Claude starts the research by  

accessing web tools and generates the complete  paper. The skill generates three different  

formats, an HTML document, a markdown file, and  a latex file that can be converted into a PDF.  

The paper follows the guidelines in the templates  and includes references in the proper format. You  

can also use Claude skills to write your resume.  It keeps track of your projects and experience,  

and Claude uses the provided scripts to tailor  your resume for any new role you're applying for.  

If you get accepted for a new role or complete  a new project, you can tell Claude about it.  

It updates the database it is maintaining with  the new information about your role or project.  

This updated data gets used whenever you need  to create a resume in the future. Instead of  

revising your resume yourself, Claude uses the  skill, the database, and references to create a  

new resume for you. The generated resume is ATS  friendly and includes all the information from  

the database like your new role, tool details,  and updated skills. If you're a content creator,  

you can create a skill tailored to your script  writing format. Give it your writing style and  

past data. Then use it to generate new scripts  that match your voice and structure. Whenever you  

need to create a new video script, you don't have  to give Claude detailed instructions each time. It  

reads your structure and format, then creates a  new script that matches your style. It suggests  

possible B-rolls and how you should present the  video based on the style you train the skill  

with. These next ones might be a little weird,  but I thought they were interesting and wanted  

to share them. If you manage your story writing  in files and folders, you can use a skill for  

storyboard management. This skill helps with story  planning, making sure your story stays consistent  

with the plan and follows the required timeline.  It has scripts to maintain timeline consistency  

and uses references to support the skill. You can  use this skill to brainstorm plot ideas and write  

chapters based on the descriptions you provide.  The skill understands your story plan and writes  

the details into their respective folders. If you  travel frequently, you can create a travel planner  

skill and give it your usual travel preferences  and related details. Whenever you have a new  

trip coming up, you can use that skill to plan the  travel for you. Claude uses the resources stored  

in the skill and asks a few questions to better  tailor the plan to your interests. It generates  

a complete vacation plan based on your input,  highlighting key places to visit, recommended  

foods to try and optimal times to manage your  schedule. It also includes must-sea attractions,  

budget plans, essential travel information, and  cultural tips to be mindful of. You can also use  

skills as a personal assistant by giving them  your schedule, daily tasks, and working habits.  

This information gets used whenever you make a new  request, so it can create personalized schedules  

or routine tasks for you based on the patterns  you're comfortable with. If you plan meals based  

on dietary recommendations or restrictions, you  can use a nutrition planner skill. Add in all your  

preferences and whenever you need to plan your  meals, you can ask without having to repeat your  

preferences. Claude uses that skill to generate  a complete meal plan for you based on your goals,  

whether it's weight gain, weight loss, or just  healthy focused diet, and considers your likes,  

dislikes, allergies, and other dietary needs.  So, that covers all 22 ways I found on using  

Claude skills. That brings us to the end of this  video. If you'd like to support the channel and
