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.
