[00:00] In today's video, I'm going to be walking you step by step through mastering clawed skills.
[00:05] And I'm not just going to show you the basics, but I'm going to give you a three-step skill framework that's going to change the way that you automate tasks forever.
[00:12] First, I'm going to break down what skills are and the best way to structure them.
[00:16] And then I'm going to build two real automations live on screen so you can watch the process from start to finish.
[00:23] Next, I'm going to put one on a schedule so it runs automatically without me even being at my computer.
[00:28] And at the very end, I'm going to show you how to start organizing these skills into departments so your business can have actual systems running instead of you doing everything manually.
[00:36] This is the full clawed skills guide.
[00:38] Let's get right into it.
[00:41] All right, so what are skills?
[00:43] This is one of the most important things to understand and we're going to dive into the anatomy.
[00:46] We're going to break it apart so that you don't have any questions about how to create an automation with Claude.
[00:51] So, a skill is an automation or a step-by-step process for getting a job or task done in the way that you like doing it.
[00:58] Not some canned generic template, but how do you
[01:02] canned generic template, but how do you like doing your tasks?
[01:04] That's what like doing your tasks?
[01:06] That's what creating a skill with Claude is all about.
[01:08] Let's look at the foundations and scaffolding of actually creating a skill file.
[01:11] Think about a skill structure just like folders.
[01:13] And within the folders are files, and within those files are instructions.
[01:16] files, and within those files are instructions.
[01:18] Those three things are all a skill really is.
[01:20] And this is all Claw needs to pretty much automate anything in your business or your life.
[01:23] Imagine we create a folder for an automation.
[01:24] Let's pretend we're on our desktop and we're thinking about a folder file hierarchy.
[01:26] We have folders.
[01:28] We have files.
[01:29] We have folders within folders and files within those folders.
[01:31] So, just like any other desktop, right?
[01:33] We've got folders and nested files and all that fun stuff.
[01:35] For now, we're just going to name this my skill, but this could be named anything.
[01:37] Anything that your automation actually is.
[01:39] And this would be a folder.
[01:41] So every skill folder has one file it cannot live without and this is the most important thing to understand and it's the only required thing for an automation to actually begin running.
[01:43] That is the skill.md file.
[01:45] MD means markdown.
[01:46] And markdown is
[02:04] File.
[02:04] MD means markdown.
[02:04] And markdown is just like a glorified text file.
[02:06] It's just like a glorified text file.
[02:06] It's just natural language.
[02:06] I can write it.
[02:08] Just natural language.
[02:08] I can write it.
[02:08] You can write it.
[02:10] Anybody who can speak language can write it.
[02:12] This file gives your automation or your skill direction.
[02:15] And this file is broken up into three different parts.
[02:17] And I'm going to get into those now.
[02:19] Number one, the metadata.
[02:21] Number two, the workflows.
[02:24] And number three, the rules.
[02:26] So all of this is text within the skill.md file.
[02:29] And this is what Claude is reading when it's going to operate and run your automation.
[02:33] The metadata contains name and description.
[02:36] So you get to name your skill.
[02:39] Uh you could call this whatever your automation is.
[02:41] Like if you have a daily briefing, you could call it daily brief.
[02:43] And then the description is when to activate.
[02:44] So instead of Claude loading in the entire skill file to see if it should activate it and loading in all of your references, all of your workflow, instead of it loading all of that in, all it does is it checks the description and it saves you a lot on cost.
[02:59] So when you set up a skill, right, uh Claw just uses the description in its
[03:06] uh Claw just uses the description in its context, so it's not using up a bunch of context, so it's not using up a bunch of tokens and sees and asks itself, should I use this automation based on what the user is telling me right now?
[03:14] If yes, then it goes through the next steps.
[03:16] And the next step is workflow.
[03:18] So the workflow contains the step-by-step process of the automation or the skill.
[03:23] And this is the step-by-step instructions of what you do and the way you like doing it.
[03:26] So if you were making like a LinkedIn post creator and you wanted to do it on recent events, the step-by-step process could be like, "Okay, Claude, when I say create a post in the Claude chat, I want you to do three things.
[03:39] I want you to research um whatever I tell you to."
[03:41] So AI, agents, whatever you want to create a post about.
[03:45] Then I want you to create a post in my style and then I want you to post it or I want you to schedule it for me on LinkedIn.
[03:50] That's like a workflow that uh is, you know, that's a pretty generic workflow, but these can be very custom multi-step, you know, 30-step workflows that Claude can run through and it can be tailored exactly to you and use your tools using the connector.
[04:03] So, a little
[04:07] tools using the connector.
[04:08] So, a little later in this video, I'm going to show you how I connect to Gmail and Google Calendar in order to uh bring me a daily brief right on my lap instead of me having to go physically check all of those tools.
[04:17] So, that's in a step-by-step process of the way I like doing things.
[04:21] And that's where the workflow lives.
[04:23] Claude's going to read this and then execute the automation.
[04:25] Now, rules are the constraints on the output.
[04:30] So, just like your guardrails, what don't you want Claude to do?
[04:31] What do you want it to do?
[04:33] And just some general direction for Claude to follow.
[04:35] So, all of these live inside of the skill MD file in your my skill folder.
[04:42] Let's take it up a notch.
[04:44] I want you to think about if you were trying to build a house from the ground up.
[04:46] You'd probably need blueprints, layouts, references for how the house should be built, right?
[04:51] Like, you wouldn't just be able to start building.
[04:52] You would need like, okay, step one is clear the land.
[04:55] Step two is get the building inspector.
[04:57] Step three is lay the foundation.
[05:00] You have these step-by-step things you need to follow.
[05:01] and your workflow.
[05:03] It's okay at doing that, but your workflow just tells Claude how like what to do in step
[05:08] tells Claude how like what to do in step by step.
[05:08] So like check Google Calendar.
[05:10] by step.
[05:10] So like check Google Calendar.
[05:12] But one cool thing you can do in that step-by-step process is you can tell it
[05:14] to do those things in a certain way or in a certain style.
[05:16] And you do that by adding a references folder.
[05:19] So the references is a folder that contains blueprints for how you get things done.
[05:22] And this can be anything, right?
[05:25] I have voice guide MD in here.
[05:27] And so these would be like more files within this references folder.
[05:29] And voice guide would be like how do you sound in client-f facing content if you like creating content in a certain tone of voice.
[05:31] Uh you can have this entire guide on the way that you sound.
[05:34] You could have brand colors for creating things if it's going to create you assets.
[05:36] You could even have images in here.
[05:37] So like past posts that did really well.
[05:39] You could have data in here.
[05:41] So like financial data.
[05:43] You could have anything that you want Claw to reference when it's running your automation.
[05:45] These are assets that Claude gets to use while it's doing the automation.
[05:47] A lot of the things that you use that you don't even think are assets for you in your business.
[05:49] Claude needs
[06:09] for you in your business.
[06:09] Claude needs that stuff in order to run automation.
[06:11] that stuff in order to run automation.
[06:11] So, like I said, this can be anything.
[06:13] So, like I said, this can be anything.
[06:13] Just think about the context or knowledge that Claude would need to know in order to run your workflow.
[06:15] Just think about the context or knowledge that Claude would need to know in order to run your workflow.
[06:16] knowledge that Claude would need to know in order to run your workflow.
[06:16] And these are static things like that it will need to reference every time.
[06:18] in order to run your workflow.
[06:18] And these are static things like that it will need to reference every time.
[06:20] are static things like that it will need to reference every time.
[06:20] This isn't like you going and uploading a file to the chat for the automation to start.
[06:22] to reference every time.
[06:22] This isn't like you going and uploading a file to the chat for the automation to start.
[06:24] you going and uploading a file to the chat for the automation to start.
[06:24] These are static and they can even be updated over time or improved on over time.
[06:27] chat for the automation to start.
[06:27] These are static and they can even be updated over time or improved on over time.
[06:28] are static and they can even be updated over time or improved on over time.
[06:28] But these are things you want Claude to reference every single time and they can work with more files that you upload.
[06:30] over time or improved on over time.
[06:30] But these are things you want Claude to reference every single time and they can work with more files that you upload.
[06:32] these are things you want Claude to reference every single time and they can work with more files that you upload.
[06:32] But these are the static things like brand guides, voice guides, uh data from the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:33] reference every single time and they can work with more files that you upload.
[06:33] But these are the static things like brand guides, voice guides, uh data from the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:35] work with more files that you upload.
[06:35] But these are the static things like brand guides, voice guides, uh data from the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:37] But these are the static things like brand guides, voice guides, uh data from the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:40] brand guides, voice guides, uh data from the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:43] the last year, YouTube video data, post data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:46] data, your styles, anything that you want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:48] want Claude to use in order to shape the output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:50] output and anything it needs to use for the workflow.
[06:50] Now, these two things alone can be very powerful.
[06:52] the workflow.
[06:52] Now, these two things alone can be very powerful.
[06:52] I mean, you give Claude a step-by-step process with files it can use during that process.
[06:53] alone can be very powerful.
[06:53] I mean, you give Claude a step-by-step process with files it can use during that process.
[06:55] give Claude a step-by-step process with files it can use during that process.
[06:57] files it can use during that process.
[06:57] That's already pretty sweet.
[06:57] But what happens when you need hyperspecific formatting or you need to connect to external APIs that just aren't available in Claude's connectors?
[06:59] That's already pretty sweet.
[06:59] But what happens when you need hyperspecific formatting or you need to connect to external APIs that just aren't available in Claude's connectors?
[07:01] happens when you need hyperspecific formatting or you need to connect to external APIs that just aren't available in Claude's connectors?
[07:02] formatting or you need to connect to external APIs that just aren't available in Claude's connectors?
[07:04] external APIs that just aren't available in Claude's connectors?
[07:06] in Claude's connectors?
[07:06] That's where scripts folder tags along.
[07:08] scripts folder tags along.
[07:08] Scripts are generally just code that Claude runs to
[07:10] generally just code that Claude runs to do things it can't just do with natural.
[07:12] do things it can't just do with natural language or perform actions that would be more efficient with code.
[07:14] language or perform actions that would be more efficient with code. things like calling external APIs, processing files,
[07:16] be more efficient with code. things like calling external APIs, processing files, generating formatted documents, running advanced calculations, or connecting to any outside service.
[07:19] calling external APIs, processing files, generating formatted documents, running advanced calculations, or connecting to any outside service.
[07:21] generating formatted documents, running advanced calculations, or connecting to any outside service.
[07:23] advanced calculations, or connecting to any outside service. I call files within the scripts solutions because they provide solutions to any of your problems that Claude just can't do by itself.
[07:25] any outside service. I call files within the scripts solutions because they provide solutions to any of your problems that Claude just can't do by itself.
[07:27] the scripts solutions because they provide solutions to any of your problems that Claude just can't do by itself.
[07:29] provide solutions to any of your problems that Claude just can't do by itself.
[07:31] problems that Claude just can't do by itself. You can create code with Claude that gets a job done faster, like document parsing or formatting for instance.
[07:33] itself. You can create code with Claude that gets a job done faster, like document parsing or formatting for instance.
[07:35] that gets a job done faster, like document parsing or formatting for instance.
[07:36] document parsing or formatting for instance. And Claude can actually create the code for you.
[07:38] instance. And Claude can actually create the code for you. I'm not a developer, but I have Claude creating Python scripts for me all the time.
[07:40] the code for you. I'm not a developer, but I have Claude creating Python scripts for me all the time.
[07:41] but I have Claude creating Python scripts for me all the time. Let's say you had like a Google sheet that needed formatting.
[07:43] scripts for me all the time. Let's say you had like a Google sheet that needed formatting.
[07:45] you had like a Google sheet that needed formatting. You needed to format the headers, right?
[07:47] formatting. You needed to format the headers, right? And you needed to um dduplicate everything.
[07:50] headers, right? And you needed to um dduplicate everything. So there there was no duplicate data.
[07:52] dduplicate everything. So there there was no duplicate data. If you were doing that task often, you could create a script that Claude could know to run in the workflow.
[07:53] was no duplicate data. If you were doing that task often, you could create a script that Claude could know to run in the workflow.
[07:55] that task often, you could create a script that Claude could know to run in the workflow.
[07:58] script that Claude could know to run in the workflow. So the workflow could say like read the CSV, internalize the knowledge, then contact this Python script in order to dduplicate.
[07:59] the workflow. So the workflow could say like read the CSV, internalize the knowledge, then contact this Python script in order to dduplicate.
[08:01] like read the CSV, internalize the knowledge, then contact this Python script in order to dduplicate.
[08:04] knowledge, then contact this Python script in order to dduplicate. And Claude could run that code.
[08:06] script in order to dduplicate. And Claude could run that code. it would save you tokens and it would just
[08:08] Claude could run that code. it would save you tokens and it would just
[08:11] save you tokens and it would just perform much better than Claude trying
[08:13] perform much better than Claude trying to go through and pick and choose and
[08:14] to go through and pick and choose and edit it one by one.
[08:17] edit it one by one. Or another thing, you can call an external service like an
[08:19] you can call an external service like an AI image generator or something like that.
[08:20] AI image generator or something like that.
[08:23] that. So you can use Python scripts to call external APIs or services that
[08:26] call external APIs or services that aren't on Claude.
[08:28] Claude can't generate images out of the box.
[08:31] images out of the box. So your workflow could be like, okay, I want to create a
[08:33] could be like, okay, I want to create a LinkedIn post.
[08:34] LinkedIn post. Step one, create the post.
[08:37] post. Step two, use the nano banana Python script in order to create an AI image that best fits the post.
[08:39] Python script in order to create an AI image that best fits the post.
[08:40] image that best fits the post. And let me review that.
[08:42] me review that. So all of these combined, the scripts, the references,
[08:44] combined, the scripts, the references, and the files within those two folders.
[08:46] and the files within those two folders. And then finally, the skillmd file.
[08:49] And then finally, the skillmd file. All of these combined create a well-rounded
[08:51] of these combined create a well-rounded skill for Claude to use on your command or on a schedule.
[08:53] skill for Claude to use on your command or on a schedule.
[08:56] or on a schedule. The skill MD file is your direction.
[08:58] The skill MD file is your direction. It is the direction for Claude to actually perform the task that you want it to perform.
[09:00] Claude to actually perform the task that you want it to perform.
[09:02] you want it to perform. The step-by-step workflow, the rules, the name and description.
[09:04] workflow, the rules, the name and description. so it knows when to use it.
[09:06] description. so it knows when to use it. The references, well, those are your blueprints.
[09:08] The references, well, those are your blueprints. And you can use blueprints
[09:11] blueprints.
[09:11] And you can use blueprints in your direction.
[09:13] You can tell Claude, in your direction.
[09:13] You can tell Claude, "Hey, use this reference file that's also in the references folder in order to write emails like me because it contains a 100 ways that I write emails or 100 examples of me writing emails or check 2024 financial data and references to see how we're doing year-over-year."
[09:28] Blueprints are super important because it gives frameworks or layouts for how Claude should actually do things and it provides deeper context for the workflow to actually run.
[09:38] Next, we have scripts and those are the solutions.
[09:38] When Claude can't get it done with natural language, when you need some advanced calculations, you need any code run external services connected.
[09:48] It's not even things that you have to understand or know, but it can create these little tools, these mini tools inside of your automation that it can use in order to get things done faster to save you time and save you money and get the job done better.
[10:01] And this is the DBS framework direction blueprints and solutions.
[10:01] And we're going to be using this for the rest of the video because it's something that's allowed me to unlock a different level of understanding when it comes to skills.
[10:10] So, this is the anatomy of a
[10:12] skills.
[10:14] So, this is the anatomy of a skill and this is the basis of skill and this is the basis of everything that we're going to be building together today.
[10:15] Okay.
[10:17] Okay, so I'm going to be operating on Claude Co-work.
[10:19] If you don't know what Claude Co-work is, it's an actual desktop version of Claude that you can download and then change your mode up here up top.
[10:22] So the desktop version allows you to access chat, which is the usual uh mode that everyone is used to, Claude Code, which is more of a developer centric um app software building and development version of Claude.
[10:33] And then we have co-work, which is like a good middle ground for automations, business owners, coaches, consultants who need to use it in order to save time, automate, and have Claude complete tasks for them.
[10:48] The unique thing about co-work is it lives within your computer.
[10:50] So, it operates off the folders on your computer, and you can create new folders for different tasks and really start managing your departments, which we're going to get into later.
[10:59] But, I recommend using Co-work.
[11:01] If you haven't heard of it or you don't understand it, watch the video in the upper right hand corner because that's a full co-work guide that I just came out with that will get you up to speed and then you
[11:12] will get you up to speed and then you can come back to this video.
[11:13] What you can come back to this video.
[11:15] What you can do is go to the sidebar and in the sidebar you're going to see this little customize tab and if you open up your sidebar you can see it as well, but it's this little toolbox.
[11:16] customize tab and if you open up your sidebar you can see it as well, but it's this little toolbox.
[11:19] sidebar you can see it as well, but it's this little toolbox.
[11:20] this little toolbox. First you need to hit that little toolbox and then you're going to be brought to a page that looks like this.
[11:23] First you need to hit that little toolbox and then you're going to be brought to a page that looks like this.
[11:24] going to be brought to a page that looks like this.
[11:26] You're going to see skills connectors and plugins.
[11:28] connectors and plugins. Now, first before we dive into skills, what we need to do is we need to understand what are connectors.
[11:31] Now, first before we dive into skills, what we need to do is we need to understand what are connectors.
[11:33] to do is we need to understand what are connectors.
[11:35] connectors. A lot of you may already know this just some basic overview.
[11:37] A lot of you may already know this just some basic overview.
[11:39] Connectors allow you to log in to apps from claude like Gmail, Google calendar, and they've got hundreds of apps like notion, Canva, Figma.
[11:41] from claude like Gmail, Google calendar, and they've got hundreds of apps like notion, Canva, Figma.
[11:44] and they've got hundreds of apps like notion, Canva, Figma.
[11:46] notion, Canva, Figma. They've got the Microsoft ecosystem, Gamma, which is like a presentation creator, Miro, Excaladraw.
[11:49] They've got the Microsoft ecosystem, Gamma, which is like a presentation creator, Miro, Excaladraw.
[11:51] Microsoft ecosystem, Gamma, which is like a presentation creator, Miro, Excaladraw.
[11:54] like a presentation creator, Miro, Excaladraw.
[11:56] Excaladraw. They've got all sorts of apps that you can actually connect to, even WordPress in here, uh, in order to automate certain things.
[11:58] They've got all sorts of apps that you can actually connect to, even WordPress in here, uh, in order to automate certain things.
[12:01] apps that you can actually connect to, even WordPress in here, uh, in order to automate certain things.
[12:04] automate certain things. So, usually you just log in with like an email and then you can connect and take actions in these tools.
[12:06] So, usually you just log in with like an email and then you can connect and take actions in these tools.
[12:09] you can connect and take actions in these tools. And the cool thing about skills is when you create a skill,
[12:14] skills is when you create a skill, remember, it's a step-by-step process.
[12:15] remember, it's a step-by-step process for what you want completed.
[12:18] So, you can actually have a step-by-step process that does things like check your email, check your calendar, checks your Slack, checks your notion, checks ClickUp, checks asauna, whatever tools you use.
[12:29] You can have it go and step by step like use information, create information, and automate that entire process while you just give it a command and it will go do whatever you want in all of those tools at once alone.
[12:41] Maybe you have a certain action you take in one.
[12:43] So connectors really bring everything together because it uses your stuff that you already use on a day-to-day basis and you can perform automations using skills.
[12:52] But you can kind of see that example that I just showed you live right here on the homepage.
[12:55] So Claude has a skill creator skill that helps users create automations like I'm showing you in this video.
[13:02] And you can see they start with their skill.md file that non-negotiable which gives a description which is the metadata and a name for this which is skill-creator.
[13:11] And then it gets into the step-by-step process of what is this and
[13:16] step-by-step process of what is this and what does it do.
[13:18] It says creating a what does it do.
[13:18] It says creating a skill capture intent.
[13:20] Start by understanding the user's intent.
[13:22] Step one, step two, step three, step four.
[13:24] So this is like the workflow section of the skill that Claude has created.
[13:28] And all of this information is living in that one skill.md file.
[13:31] It's giving Claude a step-by-step process for how to help users create skills.
[13:39] So, it's a very meta thing.
[13:42] But within there, they even have folders, right?
[13:44] Reference folders.
[13:44] They have scripts.
[13:46] So, they even went above and beyond.
[13:48] They have agents, assets, evals, and then you have references and scripts right here.
[13:52] So, you can open these up.
[13:52] You can see all of the Python scripts that will run when you create a skill using this skill creator, but this is kind of like the folder layout in Claude.
[14:01] So, you can kind of see it just off of my whiteboard.
[14:05] Now, before we get into doing things like this with multiple folders, multiple commands, multiple scripts, how about we just start off creating a basic step-by-step skill?
[14:16] So, something I do every day is at the
[14:17] Something I do every day is at the beginning of every day, I go I check my Google calendar, make sure I'm not missing any meetings, see what I have going on for the day.
[14:24] I have to go check my inbox to make sure I didn't miss any support tickets.
[14:28] And I've got to manually go and do that.
[14:29] So, I've like I'm typing in Google Calendar, going switching my Google account, checking to see if I've got anything, then I'm switching over to Gmail, checking to see if I missed any support tickets.
[14:38] If I did, I'm now responding.
[14:40] I'm getting distracted in my inbox.
[14:42] So, Claude can do that for me.
[14:43] it can deliver exactly what I need right at this very moment whenever I type in a specific command.
[14:50] So, let's set up that very basic step-by-step workflow using the skill MD file.
[14:53] Setting up a skill.
[14:56] First, you need to install the DBS framework that I just went over, the directions, blueprints, and solutions framework.
[15:03] Because what it does is it actually uses Claude skill creator along with our format in order to build everything that we're going to do today and from here on out.
[15:10] It's the thing that I use whenever I'm creating a skill and I've given you a free resource to download and install the DBS framework skill.
[15:16] So, when you
[15:19] the DBS framework skill.
[15:21] So, when you access that free resource in the description, you can just scroll down
[15:22] and you can actually download the DBS framework skill.
[15:24] And there's some more information about how to use it and when to use it.
[15:28] But over here, if you just hit that download button, it's going to download to your computer.
[15:32] And what you can do is you can hit this plus button and then upload it.
[15:35] So, you can upload that zip file.
[15:37] I'll just select upload a skill.
[15:39] And then you can upload the zip file and then you're going to be ready to go.
[15:42] Whenever you create a skill, Claude's going to understand and know how to structure it in the exact way that I taught you today.
[15:48] And this is what we're going to be using throughout the rest of the video.
[15:51] So, when we are in this skills folder, what you need to do to create a skill is head up into the skills panel and select this plus button.
[15:57] Then just hit create with Claude.
[16:00] You can write skill instructions by yourself or upload a skill, but let's just create one with Claude real quick.
[16:06] And it gives me this example prompt in here.
[16:08] And I can just send this off.
[16:10] Says, "Let's create a skill together using your skill creator skill.
[16:14] First, ask me what the skill should do."
[16:15] And so now I just want to tell Claude exactly
[16:20] now I just want to tell Claude exactly my situation and exactly what I want.
[16:22] my situation and exactly what I want automated.
[16:23] I'm just going to walk you through my thought process when creating a skill using this skill creator.
[16:27] So Claude's asking me, "What should this skill do?
[16:29] Give me the rundown.
[16:31] What task or workflow are you trying to automate and when should it trigger?
[16:34] So to that question, I said, I want to build a skill called today that gives me a complete morning rundown every time I use it.
[16:40] Here's exactly what it should do step by step.
[16:43] So I'm explaining the process of what I want Claude to do based on what I would do.
[16:48] Step one, check what time it is right now and what day of the week it is.
[16:51] This matters because my schedule is different depending on the day.
[16:55] So I might ask today at 10:00 at night to see what happened today.
[16:58] I might ask it at 10 o'clock in the morning to see what I've got to do today.
[17:03] Step two, pull my Google calendar events for today.
[17:06] So, this is the step-by-step automation that I want Cloud to run.
[17:08] List them in chronological order with the time, title, and who's on the call if it's a meeting.
[17:13] Step three, check my Gmail inbox for any emails from the last 12 hours that aren't promotions or automated notifications.
[17:19] Focus on emails that look like they need a reply.
[17:19] Show
[17:21] that look like they need a reply.
[17:23] Show me who it's from, the subject, and a one-s sentence summary of what they need.
[17:26] Step four, put it all together into one clean daily brief.
[17:29] So, I wanted to pull in all the events, all my missed emails, and then put it together in a daily brief in Claude.
[17:34] Start with a quick overview line like it's Tuesday, 7:15 a.m.
[17:38] You've got three meetings and two emails that need replies.
[17:40] I then say, list each section, calendar, emails, keep it concise and scannable.
[17:44] I don't want to have to read a book.
[17:46] That defeats the purpose.
[17:48] I want to be able to come here, read what I need, move on with my day.
[17:52] Then I say I want to trigger this with slash today.
[17:54] So, here I'm giving a command.
[17:55] So when I come into Claude and I type in slash today, hit enter, I can go make my coffee, come back and it will have all the information ready to go for me.
[18:03] So this is a very basic example using just a skill MD file.
[18:09] If you think about it, I already have all of my connectors set up with my Google calendar, my Gmail, and anything else I want to connect.
[18:17] I just want Claude to understand my step-by-step process of how I check things.
[18:21] But I'm going to hit send.
[18:21] And now Claude is going to work on building
[18:23] now Claude is going to work on building me this automation.
[18:25] So, as you can see, it's saying, "Let me load the skill creator and the DBS framework skills first, and then we'll build this."
[18:30] So, it's going to build it using my DBS framework because remember, we installed that in the beginning.
[18:35] And uh it's going to operate in the way that I taught you using that DBS layers.
[18:40] And see how it says direction only.
[18:42] The skill doesn't need blueprints because there's no proprietary business knowledge Claude needs.
[18:47] And it doesn't need solution scripts because the output is text and chat.
[18:50] I already have a daily brief skill, but I want this one to be triggered by today.
[18:53] And so now Claude's telling me what it's going to bake into the direction layer, which is the skill MD file.
[18:59] And Claude will walk through step by step and ask you questions in order to get exactly what you want in the automation that you're creating.
[19:06] So this is going to be different for everyone.
[19:07] I'm not going to read through this entire thing, but you get the general idea.
[19:10] It's planning out the architecture.
[19:12] It's telling me what I'm using in DBS.
[19:14] And then it's giving me the step by step for what it's actually going to do.
[19:18] And then it asks me, does it look right?
[19:20] I can say yes, it does.
[19:22] And as you can see the progress over here on the right hand side is going to
[19:24] here on the right hand side is going to walk you through what step it's on.
[19:26] walk you through what step it's on.
[19:27] right now it's finalizing the architecture and then it's going to have five more things it does after I respond to this.
[19:32] five more things it does after I respond to this.
[19:33] So this is why I love using co-work and building skills with it because it works with you better than normal claude would.
[19:35] co-work and building skills with it because it works with you better than normal claude would.
[19:37] because it works with you better than normal claude would.
[19:38] So I'm going to send that off.
[19:40] And now it's drafting the skill.md file which is the only file we're going to need because all we need is direction for this.
[19:42] skill.md file which is the only file we're going to need because all we need is direction for this.
[19:44] we're going to need because all we need is direction for this.
[19:46] Okay, just like that it's creating the skill.
[19:48] that it's creating the skill.
[19:52] that says the skill lives at slashtoday/skill.md with a pushy description that triggers on today.
[19:53] with a pushy description that triggers on today.
[19:56] So the description is the metadata like I was talking to you about in the beginning of this video on the anatomy of a skill.
[19:58] metadata like I was talking to you about in the beginning of this video on the anatomy of a skill.
[19:59] in the beginning of this video on the anatomy of a skill.
[20:01] And the thing I love about Claude is it sets up test cases.
[20:04] about Claude is it sets up test cases.
[20:06] So test cases right now it's creating the test cases and running evaluations.
[20:09] the test cases and running evaluations.
[20:10] So, what it's going to do is it's going to basically test out the skill and it's going to give you a summary for do you approve what this skill just created?
[20:12] to basically test out the skill and it's going to give you a summary for do you approve what this skill just created?
[20:15] going to give you a summary for do you approve what this skill just created?
[20:17] Do you approve the results that it just brought you?
[20:19] brought you?
[20:21] And then once you approve, it will finalize the skill or if you have any feedback, it will adjust based
[20:23] it will finalize the skill or if you have any feedback, it will adjust based
[20:25] have any feedback, it will adjust based on the feedback that you give it. So, it
[20:27] on the feedback that you give it. So, it doesn't happen with every skill that you
[20:28] doesn't happen with every skill that you create, but if you're using the DBS
[20:30] create, but if you're using the DBS framework and the skill creator uh with
[20:32] framework and the skill creator uh with each other, a lot of the time it's going
[20:33] each other, a lot of the time it's going to run you through these evaluations to
[20:35] to run you through these evaluations to make sure that it does exactly what you
[20:36] make sure that it does exactly what you want it to every single time, which is
[20:38] want it to every single time, which is another great reason to use claw to
[20:40] another great reason to use claw to build automations. And the test cases
[20:42] build automations. And the test cases are right here. So, here are three
[20:44] are right here. So, here are three realistic prompts I would run. Slash
[20:46] realistic prompts I would run. Slash today, the one that I for sure want
[20:48] today, the one that I for sure want because that's my main command. So, it's
[20:49] because that's my main command. So, it's going to test that to make sure that
[20:51] going to test that to make sure that works. Also, what do I have going on
[20:53] works. Also, what do I have going on today? natural language no slash command
[20:56] today? natural language no slash command can also trigger this and so it's giving
[20:58] can also trigger this and so it's giving me test cases catch me up what's today
[21:01] me test cases catch me up what's today look like casual phrasing test triggers
[21:03] look like casual phrasing test triggers breath I can just say yes these look
[21:06] breath I can just say yes these look good but you can iterate back and forth
[21:08] good but you can iterate back and forth with claw to make sure it's exactly how
[21:10] with claw to make sure it's exactly how you want it now it's saying let me run
[21:11] you want it now it's saying let me run these three test cases now I'll spawn
[21:13] these three test cases now I'll spawn them in parallel each one will use the
[21:15] them in parallel each one will use the skill to generate a morning rundown and
[21:17] skill to generate a morning rundown and remember what's going on here is it's
[21:18] remember what's going on here is it's using my DBS framework skill that I've
[21:20] using my DBS framework skill that I've created for you and also the skill
[21:22] created for you and also the skill creator skill on Claude. So, it's using
[21:25] creator skill on Claude. So, it's using both of these things in parallel. It's
[21:27] both of these things in parallel. It's using two skills in order to build this
[21:29] using two skills in order to build this skill. And so, when you have tools like
[21:31] skill. And so, when you have tools like this, it's important that you use them.
[21:33] this, it's important that you use them. It says, "All six runs of testing are
[21:35] It says, "All six runs of testing are done. Let me save the timing data and
[21:37] done. Let me save the timing data and then read all of the output so I can
[21:38] then read all of the output so I can generate the eval viewer for you." And
[21:41] generate the eval viewer for you." And so, now it kind of gives you like what's
[21:43] so, now it kind of gives you like what's happening here uh during the test. So,
[21:45] happening here uh during the test. So, it says here's a quick summary of the
[21:46] it says here's a quick summary of the test that it ran. So, it basically ran
[21:48] test that it ran. So, it basically ran tests for us. It says with the skill
[21:51] tests for us. It says with the skill runs. So that means like when it ran the
[21:53] runs. So that means like when it ran the skill, it passed 100% across all three
[21:56] skill, it passed 100% across all three test cases. Without the skill runs, it
[21:59] test cases. Without the skill runs, it only worked about 10% of the time. So
[22:01] only worked about 10% of the time. So you can see the difference between
[22:02] you can see the difference between having a skill and not having a skill.
[22:04] having a skill and not having a skill. But here, you can actually open up to
[22:07] But here, you can actually open up to view the test results. So I'm going to
[22:09] view the test results. So I'm going to open this in Chrome. This is the custom
[22:12] open this in Chrome. This is the custom file that it created for us with the
[22:14] file that it created for us with the benchmarks and uh the prompt that it
[22:17] benchmarks and uh the prompt that it used. So with the skill slash today,
[22:20] used. So with the skill slash today, here's what it would generate. But you
[22:21] here's what it would generate. But you can go down and you can actually see the
[22:23] can go down and you can actually see the grades. So zero passed, zero filled of
[22:26] grades. So zero passed, zero filled of zero. Actually, everything looks like it
[22:28] zero. Actually, everything looks like it passed. That was a mistake on Claude's
[22:29] passed. That was a mistake on Claude's part, but it did all of the things that
[22:31] part, but it did all of the things that we wanted based on our prompt for what
[22:33] we wanted based on our prompt for what we wanted this automation to do. So the
[22:35] we wanted this automation to do. So the eval review is really nice. This is just
[22:38] eval review is really nice. This is just run one of six. So you can go to the
[22:40] run one of six. So you can go to the next page, view the next run, and go to
[22:42] next page, view the next run, and go to the next page, go to the next page, the
[22:44] the next page, go to the next page, the next page, and it shows you with skill
[22:46] next page, and it shows you with skill and without skill. So this is without
[22:48] and without skill. So this is without the skill. This is with the skill,
[22:51] the skill. This is with the skill, without the skill, with the skill. So,
[22:53] without the skill, with the skill. So, it's very uh formatted in the exact way
[22:56] it's very uh formatted in the exact way that we want it every single time, which
[22:57] that we want it every single time, which is beautiful. So, it's saying, "Click
[22:59] is beautiful. So, it's saying, "Click through each test case, leave feedback
[23:00] through each test case, leave feedback on the things you'd want change, and let
[23:02] on the things you'd want change, and let me know when you're done. I'll iterate
[23:03] me know when you're done. I'll iterate from there." I'm just going to say, "I
[23:05] from there." I'm just going to say, "I don't want anything changed. Everything
[23:07] don't want anything changed. Everything looks great. Let's move forward." And
[23:10] looks great. Let's move forward." And then I can send that off. And from
[23:12] then I can send that off. And from there, it gave us the actual skill that
[23:14] there, it gave us the actual skill that we can now copy to our skills. So that
[23:16] we can now copy to our skills. So that was a process of creating a very basic
[23:18] was a process of creating a very basic skill just using the skillmd file. If I
[23:20] skill just using the skillmd file. If I click in here, you can actually open it
[23:22] click in here, you can actually open it up and read it. So the description is
[23:24] up and read it. So the description is generate a complete morning rundown with
[23:26] generate a complete morning rundown with time day awareness and then it kind of
[23:28] time day awareness and then it kind of goes into uh what happens. So step one,
[23:31] goes into uh what happens. So step one, check current time and day of the week.
[23:33] check current time and day of the week. It tells Claude how to do that when this
[23:35] It tells Claude how to do that when this skill is called. Step two, pull in
[23:37] skill is called. Step two, pull in today's calendar events. Gives it the
[23:39] today's calendar events. Gives it the exact way to do that um using the time
[23:42] exact way to do that um using the time zone and everything. Gives it a way to
[23:44] zone and everything. Gives it a way to process it. And so this is the guide
[23:46] process it. And so this is the guide that Claude will use when I type in
[23:48] that Claude will use when I type in slash today. Let's actually try it out
[23:50] slash today. Let's actually try it out and see if it works. First, I'm going to
[23:51] and see if it works. First, I'm going to hit copy to your skills. And then this
[23:53] hit copy to your skills. And then this is going to add it to my skills
[23:55] is going to add it to my skills database. So I'm going to hit manage.
[23:57] database. So I'm going to hit manage. And as you can see, the today skill
[23:59] And as you can see, the today skill looks just like this. So beautiful. It's
[24:02] looks just like this. So beautiful. It's all in with my other skills. I'm going
[24:04] all in with my other skills. I'm going to go to a new task. Let's say I just
[24:06] to go to a new task. Let's say I just sit down at my desk. Let's test out this
[24:08] sit down at my desk. Let's test out this skill. I'm going to type in slash today.
[24:11] skill. I'm going to type in slash today. As you can see, this comes up as a
[24:13] As you can see, this comes up as a little action. I'll select that and then
[24:15] little action. I'll select that and then I'll say let's go. And that's all I have
[24:18] I'll say let's go. And that's all I have to type in. You don't even have to
[24:19] to type in. You don't even have to select that. I can just type it in and
[24:20] select that. I can just type it in and hit enter. And now it's going to use my
[24:22] hit enter. And now it's going to use my actual Google calendar, my actual email,
[24:25] actual Google calendar, my actual email, and it's going to go run in a sequential
[24:27] and it's going to go run in a sequential order using the exact step-by-step
[24:29] order using the exact step-by-step process that we gave it. This is an
[24:31] process that we gave it. This is an example of an automation being created
[24:33] example of an automation being created via Clawed Skills.
[24:37] via Clawed Skills. It's Friday at 2:33. If you look up at
[24:39] It's Friday at 2:33. If you look up at the time, it's Friday at 2:33. Review
[24:41] the time, it's Friday at 2:33. Review and planning day. You've got one meeting
[24:43] and planning day. You've got one meeting already done and zero emails needing
[24:45] already done and zero emails needing replies. Schedule, inbox, quick note.
[24:48] replies. Schedule, inbox, quick note. Since it's Friday, you've got the whole
[24:50] Since it's Friday, you've got the whole afternoon free to do your weekly review
[24:51] afternoon free to do your weekly review and plan next. Good spot to knock out
[24:53] and plan next. Good spot to knock out your kettle bell session and Bible
[24:54] your kettle bell session and Bible reading if you haven't already. So, it
[24:55] reading if you haven't already. So, it knows everything about me. It gives me
[24:57] knows everything about me. It gives me the actual sources. So, I can go and
[24:58] the actual sources. So, I can go and click and review. Um, if I did have an
[25:01] click and review. Um, if I did have an inbox that needed to reply or a message
[25:03] inbox that needed to reply or a message that needed to reply, I could go to my
[25:04] that needed to reply, I could go to my Gmail and find that. We could even have
[25:07] Gmail and find that. We could even have this uh if I do need a reply, reply for
[25:10] this uh if I do need a reply, reply for me, save it as a draft and then I just
[25:12] me, save it as a draft and then I just go and send the draft if I say it's
[25:14] go and send the draft if I say it's good. So, this is an example of a very
[25:16] good. So, this is an example of a very basic skill. I recommend you start off
[25:18] basic skill. I recommend you start off the same way just by creating something
[25:21] the same way just by creating something small and then you can add on to it
[25:22] small and then you can add on to it because once the skill is built, we can
[25:25] because once the skill is built, we can actually edit the skill as well. We can
[25:27] actually edit the skill as well. We can add things to it. We can add references.
[25:28] add things to it. We can add references. We can add solutions. We can add all of
[25:30] We can add solutions. We can add all of these fun things. But first, it's just
[25:32] these fun things. But first, it's just about getting Claude to run through a
[25:34] about getting Claude to run through a step-by-step process in the way that you
[25:35] step-by-step process in the way that you usually do it. Now, let's build
[25:37] usually do it. Now, let's build something a little bit more complex.
[25:38] something a little bit more complex. Now, this next automation is going to
[25:40] Now, this next automation is going to have a much bigger job, and it's truly
[25:42] have a much bigger job, and it's truly going to show off the full DBS framework
[25:45] going to show off the full DBS framework and what it can do. Now, I want a skill
[25:46] and what it can do. Now, I want a skill that takes either raw data or a topic
[25:49] that takes either raw data or a topic and turns it into a fully designed
[25:51] and turns it into a fully designed presentation using Gamma, which is a
[25:54] presentation using Gamma, which is a presentation creation tool. And I have
[25:56] presentation creation tool. And I have it connected through Claude with
[25:57] it connected through Claude with connectors. So, this is going to be
[25:59] connectors. So, this is going to be amazing. I want to be able to do stuff
[26:00] amazing. I want to be able to do stuff like paste in my YouTube analytics from
[26:02] like paste in my YouTube analytics from the last 90 days and have it build me a
[26:04] the last 90 days and have it build me a channel performance review with key
[26:06] channel performance review with key insights visualized on slides ready to
[26:08] insights visualized on slides ready to present to my community or use for my
[26:10] present to my community or use for my own strategy sessions. Or I could do
[26:12] own strategy sessions. Or I could do something like give it a topic. So
[26:14] something like give it a topic. So something like the current state of
[26:15] something like the current state of agents in AI for small businesses and I
[26:18] agents in AI for small businesses and I want it to go and do deep research,
[26:20] want it to go and do deep research, synthesize what it finds into a
[26:21] synthesize what it finds into a narrative and then build a full training
[26:24] narrative and then build a full training deck from the research that Claude does.
[26:26] deck from the research that Claude does. So, it's the same skill, but I want
[26:28] So, it's the same skill, but I want there to be two paths, and the end
[26:30] there to be two paths, and the end result is just producing a polished
[26:33] result is just producing a polished presentation at the very end. So, if I
[26:35] presentation at the very end. So, if I tried to do this with just a direction
[26:37] tried to do this with just a direction file like the thing that we just had, it
[26:40] file like the thing that we just had, it definitely wouldn't be enough. Claude
[26:41] definitely wouldn't be enough. Claude won't know how I like my presentation
[26:43] won't know how I like my presentation structured. It also doesn't know my
[26:45] structured. It also doesn't know my visual style or my brand or how I frame
[26:47] visual style or my brand or how I frame data, so it tells a story instead of
[26:48] data, so it tells a story instead of just showing numbers. And also, it needs
[26:51] just showing numbers. And also, it needs to actually connect to Gamma to build
[26:53] to actually connect to Gamma to build the final deck. So the first step of
[26:55] the final deck. So the first step of doing any new skill remember is making
[26:57] doing any new skill remember is making sure that you have all the tools
[26:58] sure that you have all the tools connected that you're going to need
[27:00] connected that you're going to need native to claw connections. So if I go
[27:03] native to claw connections. So if I go to my customize tab, I want to go to
[27:06] to my customize tab, I want to go to connectors and make sure that I have
[27:07] connectors and make sure that I have gamma actually connected. So I do, but
[27:10] gamma actually connected. So I do, but if I didn't, I would just browse
[27:12] if I didn't, I would just browse connectors, type in gamma, click it, log
[27:14] connectors, type in gamma, click it, log into my gamma account, and then boom,
[27:16] into my gamma account, and then boom, claude has access. So what it can do is
[27:18] claude has access. So what it can do is it can generate uh gamas, which are
[27:21] it can generate uh gamas, which are presentations. It can read my folders,
[27:24] presentations. It can read my folders, read my themes, and then get generation
[27:26] read my themes, and then get generation status, which is an app onlyly tool. So,
[27:29] status, which is an app onlyly tool. So, it can do all of these things for me,
[27:31] it can do all of these things for me, and we can use it within our workflow or
[27:33] and we can use it within our workflow or our automation. And so, remember, we're
[27:35] our automation. And so, remember, we're going to be using both the DBS framework
[27:37] going to be using both the DBS framework skill and the skill creator in order to
[27:40] skill and the skill creator in order to get this done. But if you have DBS
[27:41] get this done. But if you have DBS framework installed like I showed you
[27:43] framework installed like I showed you earlier in this video, then you're going
[27:45] earlier in this video, then you're going to be good to go. So, in the upper
[27:46] to be good to go. So, in the upper leftand corner, I'm going to select new
[27:48] leftand corner, I'm going to select new task. And then I'm going to say I want
[27:51] task. And then I'm going to say I want to create a skill using the DBS
[27:53] to create a skill using the DBS framework and the skill creator. And I
[27:57] framework and the skill creator. And I will send that off. And then it's going
[27:58] will send that off. And then it's going to go grab all of the skills that it
[28:00] to go grab all of the skills that it needs in order to create the skill for
[28:02] needs in order to create the skill for us. It's going to try asking me
[28:04] us. It's going to try asking me questions right here. Um, but first I'm
[28:06] questions right here. Um, but first I'm just going to hit this X button. And I'm
[28:08] just going to hit this X button. And I'm just going to uh tell it what I actually
[28:11] just going to uh tell it what I actually want automated myself. So I'm going to
[28:14] want automated myself. So I'm going to type out a step-by-step process for this
[28:16] type out a step-by-step process for this presentation creator that I just
[28:17] presentation creator that I just described earlier. So it says, "Let's
[28:19] described earlier. So it says, "Let's build a new skill using the DBS
[28:20] build a new skill using the DBS framework." The task, take either raw
[28:22] framework." The task, take either raw data like analytics, CSV report, or a
[28:24] data like analytics, CSV report, or a topic and turn it into a fully designed
[28:26] topic and turn it into a fully designed presentation using the gamma connector.
[28:27] presentation using the gamma connector. And then I get into the step-by-step
[28:29] And then I get into the step-by-step workflow of what I want it to do. So
[28:30] workflow of what I want it to do. So step one, determine the input path. Step
[28:33] step one, determine the input path. Step two, structure the narrative into
[28:35] two, structure the narrative into slides. So whatever based on the input,
[28:37] slides. So whatever based on the input, I want Claude to structure that into
[28:40] I want Claude to structure that into slides for a presentation. Step three,
[28:42] slides for a presentation. Step three, apply my storytelling and framing. And
[28:44] apply my storytelling and framing. And so I'm going to have a reference for
[28:46] so I'm going to have a reference for storytelling and how I want Claude to
[28:48] storytelling and how I want Claude to tell stories throughout the presentation
[28:49] tell stories throughout the presentation and not make it some generic crap. And
[28:51] and not make it some generic crap. And I'm also going to have a reference for
[28:53] I'm also going to have a reference for slide structure. So when it's running
[28:55] slide structure. So when it's running through the workflow, it's going to be
[28:56] through the workflow, it's going to be able to read these files as context.
[28:59] able to read these files as context. Step four, generate the presentation
[29:00] Step four, generate the presentation through gamma. And step five, present
[29:02] through gamma. And step five, present the finished deck and ask if I want to
[29:04] the finished deck and ask if I want to adjust anything. I want to trigger this
[29:06] adjust anything. I want to trigger this with slashpresent. And so now I'm going
[29:09] with slashpresent. And so now I'm going to send that off and it's going to use
[29:10] to send that off and it's going to use the DBS framework and the skill creator
[29:12] the DBS framework and the skill creator in order to build this out. And so it's
[29:14] in order to build this out. And so it's actually saying that we don't need to
[29:16] actually saying that we don't need to use anything other than directions and
[29:19] use anything other than directions and blueprints. We don't need solutions
[29:21] blueprints. We don't need solutions because Gamma is doing all the file
[29:24] because Gamma is doing all the file generation through its MCP connector,
[29:25] generation through its MCP connector, the thing that we connected. So we don't
[29:27] the thing that we connected. So we don't even need solutions unless we wanted
[29:28] even need solutions unless we wanted like better AI images. We could connect
[29:30] like better AI images. We could connect to a nana banana and have it pull in all
[29:33] to a nana banana and have it pull in all of those. But it's asking me questions
[29:35] of those. But it's asking me questions now, which I really like. Do you already
[29:36] now, which I really like. Do you already have these three guides written
[29:37] have these three guides written somewhere or do you want to build them
[29:39] somewhere or do you want to build them together? Now I can say I have some not
[29:41] together? Now I can say I have some not all or I can actually say I have my
[29:43] all or I can actually say I have my brand guide ready but I want to build
[29:46] brand guide ready but I want to build the other ones with you in order to make
[29:47] the other ones with you in order to make these presentations very unique. So you
[29:50] these presentations very unique. So you can actually build context with Claude
[29:51] can actually build context with Claude for your workflow to run which is very
[29:53] for your workflow to run which is very nice. It says for the brand guide what
[29:55] nice. It says for the brand guide what level of visual control do you want over
[29:57] level of visual control do you want over gamma output? I'll say full brand spec.
[29:59] gamma output? I'll say full brand spec. I really want it to be on brand with AI
[30:01] I really want it to be on brand with AI foundations. So now it's going to walk
[30:03] foundations. So now it's going to walk me through step by step for building the
[30:05] me through step by step for building the presentation. How do I typically
[30:06] presentation. How do I typically structure the opening? I will say bold
[30:09] structure the opening? I will say bold claim or insight. How do you want to
[30:11] claim or insight. How do you want to handle the middle section, the body of
[30:12] handle the middle section, the body of the deck? We will do problem, solution,
[30:15] the deck? We will do problem, solution, proof. How many slides? I'll just say 8
[30:18] proof. How many slides? I'll just say 8 to 12. How do you close your
[30:20] to 12. How do you close your presentation? I will do uh single clear
[30:23] presentation? I will do uh single clear takeaway. The thing I like about Claude
[30:25] takeaway. The thing I like about Claude is these Q&As's really help you ask the
[30:27] is these Q&As's really help you ask the right questions for the proof section.
[30:29] right questions for the proof section. What kind of evidence do you typically
[30:30] What kind of evidence do you typically lean on? data on metrics. When you
[30:33] lean on? data on metrics. When you present data, how do you prefer it shown
[30:34] present data, how do you prefer it shown on the slides? One stat per slide. Keep
[30:37] on the slides? One stat per slide. Keep it very simple. It's asking me what's my
[30:39] it very simple. It's asking me what's my go-to move for making ideas click. I
[30:42] go-to move for making ideas click. I will say all of the above. I like using
[30:43] will say all of the above. I like using before after analogies and concrete
[30:45] before after analogies and concrete examples. How do you handle opposing
[30:48] examples. How do you handle opposing viewpoints or limitations? Name the
[30:50] viewpoints or limitations? Name the objection then reframe. What tone should
[30:52] objection then reframe. What tone should these presentations have? Confident and
[30:54] these presentations have? Confident and direct. Beautiful. How do you want
[30:56] direct. Beautiful. How do you want transitions to feel? Each slide sets up
[30:58] transitions to feel? Each slide sets up the next. It's now asking me to paste my
[31:00] the next. It's now asking me to paste my brand guide. And so I will add a file,
[31:03] brand guide. And so I will add a file, add files or photos. And then right here
[31:06] add files or photos. And then right here we have this 40page PDF of my brand
[31:08] we have this 40page PDF of my brand guide. I will open that up
[31:12] guide. I will open that up and then I will send it off. Said
[31:14] and then I will send it off. Said extracted 40 pages from the PDF
[31:16] extracted 40 pages from the PDF document. I've got everything I need
[31:18] document. I've got everything I need from the brand guide. Now let me build
[31:19] from the brand guide. Now let me build all of the skill files. I'll create the
[31:21] all of the skill files. I'll create the folder structure, write the three
[31:22] folder structure, write the three reference files, and draft the skill.md.
[31:24] reference files, and draft the skill.md. So, in order to create a good skill, you
[31:26] So, in order to create a good skill, you just have to understand your process
[31:28] just have to understand your process better than anyone else and then give it
[31:30] better than anyone else and then give it to Claude and have Claude iterate with
[31:32] to Claude and have Claude iterate with you back and forth on setting up this
[31:35] you back and forth on setting up this automation. And that is really important
[31:37] automation. And that is really important at the evaluations and the test prompts
[31:40] at the evaluations and the test prompts part because like step seven says,
[31:43] part because like step seven says, you're going to be iterating based on
[31:44] you're going to be iterating based on feedback. So, these can get very long
[31:46] feedback. So, these can get very long and drawn out, but the important part is
[31:48] and drawn out, but the important part is is you explain your process step by step
[31:50] is you explain your process step by step in the exact way that you want it
[31:51] in the exact way that you want it completed. And if you have assets like
[31:53] completed. And if you have assets like this, that's really big because this is
[31:55] this, that's really big because this is very on brand. So nobody else will be
[31:57] very on brand. So nobody else will be able to replicate what I'm creating
[31:58] able to replicate what I'm creating because it's data from my business. So
[32:01] because it's data from my business. So the more uh custom that you can get with
[32:03] the more uh custom that you can get with these automations, the better that
[32:04] these automations, the better that they're going to run. All right, it says
[32:05] they're going to run. All right, it says the skill is drafted. And here's the
[32:07] the skill is drafted. And here's the final structure. So if you remember the
[32:09] final structure. So if you remember the presentation in the beginning of the
[32:10] presentation in the beginning of the video, this is going to look very
[32:11] video, this is going to look very familiar to you. We have our skill MD
[32:14] familiar to you. We have our skill MD file, which is the direction, the
[32:15] file, which is the direction, the five-step workflow. Then we have
[32:17] five-step workflow. Then we have references because this five-step
[32:19] references because this five-step workflow needs data of mine like my
[32:22] workflow needs data of mine like my branding, the way I like my
[32:24] branding, the way I like my presentation, the way my voice should
[32:26] presentation, the way my voice should be. It's going to need all of that
[32:28] be. It's going to need all of that stuff. So then we have our references
[32:30] stuff. So then we have our references folder and we don't even need a
[32:32] folder and we don't even need a solutions folder or a scripts folder
[32:34] solutions folder or a scripts folder because everything is taking place
[32:35] because everything is taking place within the gamma connector. If I was
[32:37] within the gamma connector. If I was using a different tool that wasn't on
[32:38] using a different tool that wasn't on Claude, then yeah, I would need a script
[32:40] Claude, then yeah, I would need a script to run so I can contact the API and use
[32:43] to run so I can contact the API and use the functionality of the app that isn't
[32:45] the functionality of the app that isn't yet able to connect to Claude. It says,
[32:47] yet able to connect to Claude. It says, "Next up. I want to run two to three
[32:48] "Next up. I want to run two to three test prompts against the skill and see
[32:50] test prompts against the skill and see how it performs before we finalize. Here
[32:52] how it performs before we finalize. Here are the test cases I'm thinking. Here's
[32:54] are the test cases I'm thinking. Here's my community growth data from the last 6
[32:56] my community growth data from the last 6 months. Turn it into a presentation I
[32:58] months. Turn it into a presentation I can share with my potential partners
[32:59] can share with my potential partners with a Mox CSV topic driven. Make me a
[33:02] with a Mox CSV topic driven. Make me a presentation on why small businesses
[33:03] presentation on why small businesses need AI systems, not AI tools. Hybrid. I
[33:06] need AI systems, not AI tools. Hybrid. I just pulled my YouTube analytics for Q1.
[33:08] just pulled my YouTube analytics for Q1. Present the key trends to my team. And
[33:09] Present the key trends to my team. And so this is going to allow me to create
[33:11] so this is going to allow me to create presentations for literally anything.
[33:13] presentations for literally anything. YouTube videos, potential partners, my
[33:15] YouTube videos, potential partners, my team, anything I need. And I do feel
[33:18] team, anything I need. And I do feel like that is realistic. I want this to
[33:20] like that is realistic. I want this to be very dynamic. And so I just said go
[33:22] be very dynamic. And so I just said go ahead to run all these test cases
[33:24] ahead to run all these test cases because I think they're exactly the
[33:26] because I think they're exactly the types of things I would need. And so now
[33:28] types of things I would need. And so now it's getting into the important part,
[33:30] it's getting into the important part, which is running the test prompts and
[33:31] which is running the test prompts and evals like you saw in the first
[33:32] evals like you saw in the first automation, except this one's a little
[33:34] automation, except this one's a little bit more complex. We're creating an
[33:35] bit more complex. We're creating an entire presentation. So here we might
[33:37] entire presentation. So here we might want to be able to give some feedback
[33:38] want to be able to give some feedback into the way we want the automation
[33:40] into the way we want the automation running and then actually test it with
[33:42] running and then actually test it with some real data before we approve it. So
[33:44] some real data before we approve it. So it's running each test case by following
[33:47] it's running each test case by following the exact workflow that it's going to
[33:49] the exact workflow that it's going to give us. Starting with test one, the
[33:51] give us. Starting with test one, the community growth partners. Beautiful.
[33:54] community growth partners. Beautiful. And it's actually creating the
[33:55] And it's actually creating the presentation for me right now. And it's
[33:57] presentation for me right now. And it's generating in the chat. Should take a
[33:59] generating in the chat. Should take a minute or two. I'm super excited to see
[34:00] minute or two. I'm super excited to see this. This is insane. As test one is
[34:03] this. This is insane. As test one is generating up here, it's moving to test
[34:04] generating up here, it's moving to test two. Now it's going to go through
[34:05] two. Now it's going to go through research and search the web as if it's
[34:08] research and search the web as if it's using the actual skill. Okay. And it
[34:10] using the actual skill. Okay. And it created the presentation for me. So AI
[34:12] created the presentation for me. So AI foundation's member growth. This
[34:14] foundation's member growth. This community doubled its revenue in six
[34:15] community doubled its revenue in six months while cutting churn in half. I'm
[34:17] months while cutting churn in half. I'm going to select edit in gamma and then
[34:19] going to select edit in gamma and then open the link just so I can see it in a
[34:21] open the link just so I can see it in a bigger frame. And this is what the
[34:23] bigger frame. And this is what the presentation actually turned out to be.
[34:25] presentation actually turned out to be. It's pretty wild right now. We could
[34:26] It's pretty wild right now. We could probably rein it in. AI foundation
[34:28] probably rein it in. AI foundation solved retention first then let growth
[34:30] solved retention first then let growth compound. It created an interactive
[34:32] compound. It created an interactive graph for me, which is pretty wild. And
[34:34] graph for me, which is pretty wild. And this is all just mock data. I'm really
[34:36] this is all just mock data. I'm really liking this type of style with the
[34:38] liking this type of style with the interactive graphs. I'm not really
[34:39] interactive graphs. I'm not really loving the space background, the M
[34:41] loving the space background, the M dashes, or any of these images. It looks
[34:43] dashes, or any of these images. It looks kind of weird. But remember, this is
[34:46] kind of weird. But remember, this is just first one for a first attempt. Not
[34:48] just first one for a first attempt. Not too bad. I kind of like this actually.
[34:50] too bad. I kind of like this actually. It's pretty sweet. But this is where
[34:52] It's pretty sweet. But this is where feedback comes in. So I can go back to
[34:53] feedback comes in. So I can go back to Co-work and see how it did on the second
[34:56] Co-work and see how it did on the second presentation. 68% of small businesses
[34:59] presentation. 68% of small businesses use AI. Almost none of them have a
[35:00] use AI. Almost none of them have a system. The slide decks are pretty sick.
[35:02] system. The slide decks are pretty sick. I'm not going to lie. Uh it gives me all
[35:05] I'm not going to lie. Uh it gives me all of this stuff, the myth, the reality,
[35:07] of this stuff, the myth, the reality, the contrast, and then these big proof
[35:10] the contrast, and then these big proof points again. And then while we were
[35:11] points again. And then while we were watching that, test three generated. And
[35:13] watching that, test three generated. And so test three was the hybrid YouTube Q1
[35:16] so test three was the hybrid YouTube Q1 analytics. It's targeting the internal
[35:18] analytics. It's targeting the internal team tone, which is kind of cool. Let me
[35:20] team tone, which is kind of cool. Let me edit this in gamma and see how this one
[35:22] edit this in gamma and see how this one turned out. Q1 didn't just grow the
[35:23] turned out. Q1 didn't just grow the channel. It proved content strategy
[35:25] channel. It proved content strategy actually works. And so now you kind of
[35:27] actually works. And so now you kind of go through and you iterate and you tell
[35:28] go through and you iterate and you tell Claude which things you like, which
[35:30] Claude which things you like, which things you don't like. Nice. I like
[35:33] things you don't like. Nice. I like these big number slides.
[35:36] these big number slides. I really like the graphs when it does
[35:37] I really like the graphs when it does the graphs and these types of visuals. I
[35:40] the graphs and these types of visuals. I don't think it's quite there. So here we
[35:41] don't think it's quite there. So here we can do iteration with cloud co-work and
[35:43] can do iteration with cloud co-work and edit the skill. Okay, so I don't really
[35:45] edit the skill. Okay, so I don't really like the space background. I would
[35:46] like the space background. I would rather that background just be plain. I
[35:49] rather that background just be plain. I also hate m dashes. Like never show an M
[35:51] also hate m dashes. Like never show an M dash in a slide. It looks very AI
[35:53] dash in a slide. It looks very AI generated. And I also don't like AI
[35:55] generated. And I also don't like AI generated images in there either. Uh
[35:58] generated images in there either. Uh what I do like is the icons. I like the
[36:00] what I do like is the icons. I like the interactive graphs and I like the big
[36:03] interactive graphs and I like the big text with the big numbers in the proof
[36:05] text with the big numbers in the proof points. Although I don't think we need
[36:07] points. Although I don't think we need to put proof on the slide. I think we
[36:09] to put proof on the slide. I think we can just let the numbers speak for
[36:10] can just let the numbers speak for themselves. And I do like the color way.
[36:13] themselves. And I do like the color way. But let's see some more of that neon
[36:15] But let's see some more of that neon pink accent and some of the super
[36:16] pink accent and some of the super headers uh when doing all of this. Okay.
[36:21] headers uh when doing all of this. Okay. So I can make iterations and feedback
[36:22] So I can make iterations and feedback like that. And then it's going to run
[36:23] like that. And then it's going to run through more tests. And what it's doing
[36:25] through more tests. And what it's doing after I give that is it makes a
[36:27] after I give that is it makes a step-by-step list for itself and it's
[36:29] step-by-step list for itself and it's applying feedback and it's actually
[36:31] applying feedback and it's actually editing the reference files. Uh, so it's
[36:33] editing the reference files. Uh, so it's reading the storytelling guide, editing
[36:35] reading the storytelling guide, editing the storytelling guide, reading slide
[36:37] the storytelling guide, reading slide structure, and then editing it. So these
[36:39] structure, and then editing it. So these are the reference files that my workflow
[36:41] are the reference files that my workflow is actually referencing when creating
[36:43] is actually referencing when creating the gamma presentation. So it's actually
[36:46] the gamma presentation. So it's actually editing the context behind how these
[36:49] editing the context behind how these things are getting generated in the
[36:51] things are getting generated in the first place. So, it got done with the
[36:53] first place. So, it got done with the first one. I'm going to open up the
[36:55] first one. I'm going to open up the link. Remember, I didn't want any more m
[36:57] link. Remember, I didn't want any more m dashes. It looks like it got rid of them
[36:58] dashes. It looks like it got rid of them in the headers, but not in the
[37:00] in the headers, but not in the description. So, I could iterate that
[37:02] description. So, I could iterate that and say like, "Hey, I don't like this."
[37:03] and say like, "Hey, I don't like this." But I am loving these images a lot more
[37:06] But I am loving these images a lot more than the AI generated images. This looks
[37:08] than the AI generated images. This looks like something that is very unique, very
[37:11] like something that is very unique, very professional, and it's not just
[37:13] professional, and it's not just something that looks AI generated. It
[37:15] something that looks AI generated. It looks thought out and well-designed. I'm
[37:17] looks thought out and well-designed. I'm loving this theme with the graphs on the
[37:19] loving this theme with the graphs on the phone. Most AI adoption is just
[37:22] phone. Most AI adoption is just employees experimenting on their own.
[37:24] employees experimenting on their own. Beautiful. It's giving me more of that
[37:26] Beautiful. It's giving me more of that neon pink color from my brand guide. And
[37:28] neon pink color from my brand guide. And so now this is looking like an actual
[37:30] so now this is looking like an actual good slide deck. I don't really like
[37:32] good slide deck. I don't really like these. But you could go on and on with
[37:34] these. But you could go on and on with iteration. And that's the point of this.
[37:36] iteration. And that's the point of this. The point of it is to get it so good so
[37:39] The point of it is to get it so good so that when you come into Clawude, you can
[37:41] that when you come into Clawude, you can type in one prompt, upload data, then
[37:43] type in one prompt, upload data, then have it create a presentation for you
[37:45] have it create a presentation for you that is in the exact way you like.
[37:46] that is in the exact way you like. really liking these art uh graphs that
[37:49] really liking these art uh graphs that it gave me though. And so this is
[37:50] it gave me though. And so this is something that just saves me so much
[37:53] something that just saves me so much time. Instead of coming in here, typing
[37:55] time. Instead of coming in here, typing out all the little slides, highlighting
[37:57] out all the little slides, highlighting it, changing the color on my own, it
[37:59] it, changing the color on my own, it just does it for me. It gets me 80% of
[38:01] just does it for me. It gets me 80% of the way there and then I do the other
[38:02] the way there and then I do the other 20%. And this is an example of a very,
[38:04] 20%. And this is an example of a very, very good skill. I mean, I'm pretty
[38:06] very good skill. I mean, I'm pretty happy with it. And I would do a lot more
[38:08] happy with it. And I would do a lot more iterating, but for the sake of this
[38:09] iterating, but for the sake of this video, I just want to show you what it
[38:11] video, I just want to show you what it looks like to publish the skill and then
[38:12] looks like to publish the skill and then do it with actual data. I'm going to say
[38:15] do it with actual data. I'm going to say I like it. Let's create the skill. And
[38:18] I like it. Let's create the skill. And remember, this is using the DBS
[38:19] remember, this is using the DBS framework and the skill creator from
[38:21] framework and the skill creator from Claude combined with one another, which
[38:22] Claude combined with one another, which makes creating skills unlike any other
[38:25] makes creating skills unlike any other experience you've had. And so, once you
[38:27] experience you've had. And so, once you get really good at this, you're going to
[38:28] get really good at this, you're going to be able to come in here and create
[38:29] be able to come in here and create skills in 30 minutes to an hour that
[38:31] skills in 30 minutes to an hour that save you hours per week. This just took
[38:34] save you hours per week. This just took a little bit longer because I have to
[38:35] a little bit longer because I have to explain everything, which is fine. But
[38:37] explain everything, which is fine. But when you get good at this, you get to do
[38:39] when you get good at this, you get to do things like this. So, gamma-present,
[38:42] things like this. So, gamma-present, that's the skill. So we have our skillmd
[38:44] that's the skill. So we have our skillmd file which has the description, the
[38:46] file which has the description, the names up here. Beautiful. And it walks
[38:49] names up here. Beautiful. And it walks step by step on how to create gamas for
[38:51] step by step on how to create gamas for those presentations like the ones that
[38:52] those presentations like the ones that we were just viewing. Then we even have
[38:54] we were just viewing. Then we even have a references folder which is the
[38:56] a references folder which is the blueprints needed to run this workflow.
[38:59] blueprints needed to run this workflow. You can see step two says read
[39:01] You can see step two says read references slide-structure
[39:05] references slide-structure for the full structural guide. Claude's
[39:07] for the full structural guide. Claude's going to go in here, click in here, go
[39:09] going to go in here, click in here, go to slide structure, and read how I want
[39:11] to slide structure, and read how I want my slides done. So, this is just context
[39:14] my slides done. So, this is just context for how I want things completed.
[39:16] for how I want things completed. Storytelling guide, beautiful brand
[39:18] Storytelling guide, beautiful brand guide has all of my colors, all of my
[39:21] guide has all of my colors, all of my secondary colors, how to use them in
[39:23] secondary colors, how to use them in presentations, typography,
[39:26] presentations, typography, everything that I need. So, this is just
[39:28] everything that I need. So, this is just beautiful. And so, I can hit copy to my
[39:30] beautiful. And so, I can hit copy to my skills in the upper right hand corner.
[39:32] skills in the upper right hand corner. And now I'm going to start a new task
[39:36] And now I'm going to start a new task now that it's copied to my skills. And
[39:38] now that it's copied to my skills. And I'm going to say, I need help creating
[39:40] I'm going to say, I need help creating the presentation for my YouTube data in
[39:43] the presentation for my YouTube data in the last 30 days and why it's recently
[39:46] the last 30 days and why it's recently increasing. I want you to do research
[39:48] increasing. I want you to do research into the keywords that I'm using and my
[39:50] into the keywords that I'm using and my video style and the length and the type
[39:54] video style and the length and the type of video that I'm creating to why my
[39:56] of video that I'm creating to why my views are increasing recently and create
[39:58] views are increasing recently and create this in a presentation please using
[40:00] this in a presentation please using gamma-present.
[40:01] gamma-present. So I could send off a prompt like that.
[40:03] So I could send off a prompt like that. I could go get my YouTube data. So, I'll
[40:05] I could go get my YouTube data. So, I'll literally go and I'll just export my
[40:07] literally go and I'll just export my current view, which is the last 28 days.
[40:10] current view, which is the last 28 days. I'll download it to CSV.
[40:14] I'll download it to CSV. So, I'm actually just going to go in
[40:15] So, I'm actually just going to go in here, add a file, load that zip file
[40:18] here, add a file, load that zip file with all of my YouTube data, and then
[40:20] with all of my YouTube data, and then I'm going to say, let's go. And so, it's
[40:22] I'm going to say, let's go. And so, it's going to use that skill it just created
[40:24] going to use that skill it just created since we copied it to my skills. and
[40:26] since we copied it to my skills. and it's going to create a presentation
[40:28] it's going to create a presentation based on my data from YouTube saying,
[40:31] based on my data from YouTube saying, "Let me extract your data and read the
[40:33] "Let me extract your data and read the skills references first." So, it's going
[40:35] skills references first." So, it's going to use that automation that we created.
[40:37] to use that automation that we created. Now, I'm hands off. You can iterate
[40:39] Now, I'm hands off. You can iterate until you get this automation exactly
[40:40] until you get this automation exactly the way you want it. This is a skill and
[40:44] the way you want it. This is a skill and it's going to do all of the heavy
[40:46] it's going to do all of the heavy lifting for me on this presentation. And
[40:48] lifting for me on this presentation. And the presentation is just one example of
[40:49] the presentation is just one example of something. It's a very light thing you
[40:52] something. It's a very light thing you can do. You can have it go perform
[40:53] can do. You can have it go perform actions on other apps, uh, like HubSpot,
[40:56] actions on other apps, uh, like HubSpot, meetings. You can have it schedule
[40:57] meetings. You can have it schedule calendar events for you. You can have it
[40:59] calendar events for you. You can have it do so many cool things, but it just
[41:01] do so many cool things, but it just starts with one task. So, it says,
[41:03] starts with one task. So, it says, "Here's what I found. Before I build the
[41:04] "Here's what I found. Before I build the deck, let me share five key insights I
[41:06] deck, let me share five key insights I plan to structure it around." And so,
[41:07] plan to structure it around." And so, now it's going to build a gamma
[41:08] now it's going to build a gamma presentation around all of that data.
[41:10] presentation around all of that data. And so, not only did Claude analyze my
[41:13] And so, not only did Claude analyze my data, but it created an entire
[41:15] data, but it created an entire presentation around my data in a matter
[41:18] presentation around my data in a matter of 2 minutes. Imagine how long it would
[41:21] of 2 minutes. Imagine how long it would have taken me to find all of this stuff.
[41:22] have taken me to find all of this stuff. Imagine how long it would have taken me
[41:23] Imagine how long it would have taken me to put it all together. And now I can
[41:25] to put it all together. And now I can just hit present. Maybe I have an
[41:27] just hit present. Maybe I have an internal team meeting. I could practice.
[41:29] internal team meeting. I could practice. All right, guys. So, this one video
[41:31] All right, guys. So, this one video generated 50% of our channel's monthly
[41:33] generated 50% of our channel's monthly views in just 4 days. So, in this
[41:35] views in just 4 days. So, in this presentation, I'm going to show you how
[41:36] presentation, I'm going to show you how that happened and the growth progression
[41:39] that happened and the growth progression of AI Foundation. So, for 24 days, the
[41:41] of AI Foundation. So, for 24 days, the channel averaged 1500 views per day.
[41:43] channel averaged 1500 views per day. Steady, predictable, unremarkable. Now,
[41:46] Steady, predictable, unremarkable. Now, what happened? Well, daily views jumped
[41:48] what happened? Well, daily views jumped from 1,000 to 19,000 in just 3 days.
[41:52] from 1,000 to 19,000 in just 3 days. 7.3x increase in daily views. This isn't
[41:54] 7.3x increase in daily views. This isn't gradual. I mean, look at this. This is
[41:55] gradual. I mean, look at this. This is the real data here, guys. And so, as you
[41:57] the real data here, guys. And so, as you can see, in a matter of minutes, I have
[42:00] can see, in a matter of minutes, I have a presentation that's ready to go. And
[42:02] a presentation that's ready to go. And this is something that would have taken
[42:04] this is something that would have taken me hours. I mean, this would have taken
[42:06] me hours. I mean, this would have taken a full day or two of actual work and
[42:08] a full day or two of actual work and getting the percentages and analyzing
[42:10] getting the percentages and analyzing the data myself, but Claude did it for
[42:11] the data myself, but Claude did it for me. Boom. That's an automation. That's a
[42:13] me. Boom. That's an automation. That's a claude skill. Okay. Okay, so we've done
[42:15] claude skill. Okay. Okay, so we've done some pretty cool things today, but this
[42:17] some pretty cool things today, but this is all requiring us to come in here and
[42:18] is all requiring us to come in here and type in like slash gamma present hitting
[42:21] type in like slash gamma present hitting it and then doing it or slash today for
[42:25] it and then doing it or slash today for our uh complete morning rundown. But
[42:28] our uh complete morning rundown. But what happens when we want these things
[42:29] what happens when we want these things just to run when our computer is open
[42:31] just to run when our computer is open and awake, but we don't want to have to
[42:32] and awake, but we don't want to have to be there? Well, you can set up a
[42:34] be there? Well, you can set up a scheduled task to run an actual skill
[42:36] scheduled task to run an actual skill for you while you're not even typing
[42:37] for you while you're not even typing anything in. So, if your computer's on,
[42:39] anything in. So, if your computer's on, you can set it up on a schedule and it
[42:41] you can set it up on a schedule and it can run for you every hour, every day,
[42:43] can run for you every hour, every day, every week. You get to choose what
[42:45] every week. You get to choose what schedule you set it up. Now, in order to
[42:47] schedule you set it up. Now, in order to set up a scheduled task, you need to go
[42:48] set up a scheduled task, you need to go to the lefth hand sidebar to where it
[42:50] to the lefth hand sidebar to where it says scheduled and select that. And here
[42:52] says scheduled and select that. And here you can select new task. And then you
[42:55] you can select new task. And then you get to name the task. So I can call this
[42:57] get to name the task. So I can call this today. And then I could say uh
[43:00] today. And then I could say uh summarizes
[43:02] summarizes my calendar and events. And then the
[43:06] my calendar and events. And then the prompt, this is going to be what
[43:07] prompt, this is going to be what actually sends to Claude. And so I can
[43:09] actually sends to Claude. And so I can just say slash today. And then the
[43:11] just say slash today. And then the frequency, I could do that daily, maybe
[43:14] frequency, I could do that daily, maybe at 9:00 am. And then I can hit save. And
[43:18] at 9:00 am. And then I can hit save. And just like that, every day at 9ine, it's
[43:20] just like that, every day at 9ine, it's going to run slash today. If my
[43:22] going to run slash today. If my computer's open, it's going to uh bring
[43:24] computer's open, it's going to uh bring me that and send me a notification if I
[43:26] me that and send me a notification if I want as well. So this is how to set up
[43:28] want as well. So this is how to set up scheduled tasks. If you want, you can uh
[43:32] scheduled tasks. If you want, you can uh edit this. For now, I'll do manual and
[43:34] edit this. For now, I'll do manual and then hit save. And so if I hit run now,
[43:38] then hit save. And so if I hit run now, you're going to see today at 3:25. It's
[43:40] you're going to see today at 3:25. It's now running slash today. And so if I
[43:42] now running slash today. And so if I open up my sidebar and go to today and
[43:45] open up my sidebar and go to today and click into here, I can actually see it
[43:46] click into here, I can actually see it running live. But this can happen
[43:49] running live. But this can happen without you having to hit run, but just
[43:50] without you having to hit run, but just on the timer that you set. So very cool.
[43:53] on the timer that you set. So very cool. And this was the skill that we created
[43:55] And this was the skill that we created in the beginning of this video. Now,
[43:57] in the beginning of this video. Now, finally, the last part of this video, I
[43:58] finally, the last part of this video, I want to talk about getting skills
[44:00] want to talk about getting skills organized into departments. Because what
[44:02] organized into departments. Because what you just saw was like a content
[44:04] you just saw was like a content department or a marketing department or
[44:07] department or a marketing department or even like an operations department with
[44:09] even like an operations department with internal presentations, but you really
[44:12] internal presentations, but you really want to start thinking about automations
[44:15] want to start thinking about automations in the form of what departments of your
[44:17] in the form of what departments of your business are you running out of. So a
[44:19] business are you running out of. So a lot of businesses have a marketing
[44:20] lot of businesses have a marketing department, they have a financial
[44:22] department, they have a financial department, they have a communication
[44:24] department, they have a communication department. all of these different
[44:26] department. all of these different departments, especially for
[44:27] departments, especially for solopreneurs, coaches, consultants, all
[44:29] solopreneurs, coaches, consultants, all these busy people who are running things
[44:32] these busy people who are running things by themsel. Think about your business as
[44:34] by themsel. Think about your business as departments and what automations do you
[44:36] departments and what automations do you need in each department. What skill do
[44:37] need in each department. What skill do you need in each department? So, we just
[44:40] you need in each department? So, we just created the presentation thing and we
[44:42] created the presentation thing and we didn't even need the S. We didn't need
[44:43] didn't even need the S. We didn't need scripts. All we did was uh direction and
[44:46] scripts. All we did was uh direction and blueprints using DBS framework. But this
[44:48] blueprints using DBS framework. But this would be like content department. This
[44:50] would be like content department. This would be certain skills within it.
[44:51] would be certain skills within it. Content breakdown. So maybe I upload a
[44:53] Content breakdown. So maybe I upload a YouTube video URL. It goes grabs the
[44:56] YouTube video URL. It goes grabs the transcript and breaks it down for me.
[44:58] transcript and breaks it down for me. Maybe I create one for an email campaign
[45:00] Maybe I create one for an email campaign after I create a YouTube video and
[45:02] after I create a YouTube video and presentation creator for the YouTube
[45:03] presentation creator for the YouTube video. So all of these little skills
[45:05] video. So all of these little skills will start stacking on top of one
[45:06] will start stacking on top of one another. There's things like onboarding,
[45:08] another. There's things like onboarding, generating road maps, check-in
[45:11] generating road maps, check-in preparation. So when you're checking in
[45:12] preparation. So when you're checking in with them, maybe you have an automation
[45:14] with them, maybe you have an automation that goes and enriches all that uh
[45:16] that goes and enriches all that uh client's data. It tracks what they're
[45:18] client's data. It tracks what they're doing on a day-to-day basis. Uh and
[45:20] doing on a day-to-day basis. Uh and other things and like revenue
[45:21] other things and like revenue department. So, this is how you should
[45:23] department. So, this is how you should start thinking. Think about your
[45:24] start thinking. Think about your business or think about your work as
[45:25] business or think about your work as departments and then adding on these
[45:27] departments and then adding on these little things like I just created with
[45:29] little things like I just created with you here today. All right. Now, I'm not
[45:30] you here today. All right. Now, I'm not saying go and build 20 automations this
[45:32] saying go and build 20 automations this weekend. I'm telling you to start with
[45:34] weekend. I'm telling you to start with one. Think about a task that you do most
[45:36] one. Think about a task that you do most often that follows the same process
[45:38] often that follows the same process every single time and build one skill
[45:40] every single time and build one skill for that task using the DBS framework.
[45:43] for that task using the DBS framework. Test it. Use it for a week. And once you
[45:45] Test it. Use it for a week. And once you feel the difference between Claude
[45:47] feel the difference between Claude improvising from a prompt versus Claude
[45:49] improvising from a prompt versus Claude running an actual structured workflow
[45:51] running an actual structured workflow with real business knowledge loaded in,
[45:53] with real business knowledge loaded in, I promise you, you're never going to
[45:54] I promise you, you're never going to want to go back. And here's something
[45:56] want to go back. And here's something most people don't realize. The skill
[45:57] most people don't realize. The skill format is actually an open standard. It
[46:00] format is actually an open standard. It doesn't just work across Claude, but it
[46:02] doesn't just work across Claude, but it works across other tools like OpenAI's
[46:03] works across other tools like OpenAI's Codeex or Google's Gemini and a growing
[46:06] Codeex or Google's Gemini and a growing list of other AI agents. So whatever you
[46:08] list of other AI agents. So whatever you build today is not vendor locked into
[46:10] build today is not vendor locked into Claude. It works anywhere. So, stop
[46:12] Claude. It works anywhere. So, stop using AI randomly and start thinking in
[46:15] using AI randomly and start thinking in terms of skills. Now, if you want to
[46:17] terms of skills. Now, if you want to learn how to automate every task in your
[46:19] learn how to automate every task in your business so that you can work less, then
[46:21] business so that you can work less, then join AI Foundations. I'm going to leave
[46:23] join AI Foundations. I'm going to leave a link in the description and the top
[46:25] a link in the description and the top pinned comment. You're going to get more
[46:26] pinned comment. You're going to get more access to me where you can ask
[46:27] access to me where you can ask questions, more training on how to
[46:29] questions, more training on how to automate literally anything in your line
[46:32] automate literally anything in your line of work so that you can save time to do
[46:34] of work so that you can save time to do the other things in life that are more
[46:36] the other things in life that are more high leverage or just more fun to you.
[46:38] high leverage or just more fun to you. going out, traveling, hanging out with
[46:40] going out, traveling, hanging out with friends, family, whatever you want. But
[46:42] friends, family, whatever you want. But it all starts with reskilling yourself.
[46:44] it all starts with reskilling yourself. And that all happens in the AI
[46:45] And that all happens in the AI Foundations community. So use the link
[46:47] Foundations community. So use the link below, come join a group of people who
[46:49] below, come join a group of people who are already thriving and seeing results.
[46:50] are already thriving and seeing results. So, with that being said, I hope you
[46:52] So, with that being said, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in the next
