Haven't watched this yet, but it looks promising (maybe I'll ask some bot to make a transcript so I don't have to watch at 1.5X).

Here's the rundown
QuoteEvery time you start a new AI chat, it forgets everything -- your tone, your format, your whole workflow. Claude Skills fix that by letting you teach Claude your exact process once so it follows it every time. In this video, I'll show you how to find, build, and use skills on both claude.ai and Claude Co-work, step by step with real examples you can try today.
This video covers everything you need to know about Claude Skills, from what they are and how they work to building your own from scratch. You'll see how to use the built-in Skill Creator to generate skills through a simple conversation, how to test and refine them, and the difference between capability skills and workflow skills. Then we move into Claude Co-work on the desktop app, where skills get even more powerful because Claude can access your local files. I walk through two full builds -- a content repurposer that turns YouTube subtitle files into blog posts, Twitter threads, and newsletters, and a pricing reply skill that reads your rate sheet PDF and drafts professional client responses. We also connect Gmail so Claude can read emails and draft replies directly from your inbox.
