Agent Skills Mastery Program
A hands-on practitioner path for designing, building, and shipping cross-platform agent skills. Capture your expertise as reusable instructions that work across Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and 30+ AI tools adopting the open standard. No programming experience required.
7 lessons
Lesson 1 - Why Agent Skills Matter
Diagnose the high-friction workflows in your day, understand what agent skills are, and learn how the open standard lets one skill work across 30+ AI coding tools.
1.5-2 hours
Lesson 2 - Designing a Skill Artifact
Translate your charter into a concrete folder structure, master SKILL.md frontmatter, and understand how progressive disclosure keeps skills fast and maintainable.
1.5-2 hours
Lesson 3 - Crafting High-Fidelity Instructions
Turn your skeleton into actionable instructions that produce consistent results. Learn to brief AI like a capable colleague, embed quality gates, and iterate using real test feedback.
2-2.5 hours
Lesson 4 - Deploying and Sharing Skills
Learn the exact directories each platform watches, how precedence works when skills share a name, and how to promote skills from personal sandboxes to shared repositories safely.
1.5-2 hours
Lesson 5 - Power Features: References, Scripts, and Assets
Go beyond plain instructions by bundling templates, automation scripts, and static data with your skill. Learn when to externalize, how to reference files safely, and how to keep everything maintainable.
2-2.5 hours
Lesson 6 - Platform-Specific Enhancements
Respect the open standard first, then layer optional features for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other tools — without breaking portability.
1.5-2 hours
Lesson 7 - Capstone: Build, Validate, and Ship
Apply everything you've learned to deliver a production-grade skill. Validate it with tooling, run a cold test, and publish it for your team or the community.
