Claude Skills || الميزة اللي محدش بيتكلم عنها

Summary of the video (technological concepts + product features)

The video explains how to use “Skills” in Claude/Cloud to avoid repeatedly typing the same instructions in every new chat. Instead of re-providing your identity, style preferences, dialect, formatting rules, and programming assumptions each time, you create or install a reusable skill so the AI can consistently follow your desired workflow.

---

Core idea: turn repeated prompts into reusable “Skills”

• Normally, each new chat requires repeating a long instruction set (e.g., dialect preference like Saudi/colloquial, “write like I want,” explain codes simply, etc.).
• Skills let you define those instructions once via a skill.md file.
• The skill can then be invoked in any new chat using a command like /Skill Creator (via the UI/sidebar).
• This saves time and standardizes output style (including consistent intro/outro tone and formatting).

How the speaker recommends setting up Cloud capabilities

In Settings → Capabilities:

• Enable Artifacts (so generated code can run and show results in the chat, e.g., websites).
• Enable code extraction (extracts code into files; network option is mentioned as not necessary).

This supports a workflow where skills can generate runnable outputs (including websites/quizzes/code snippets).

Skill creation flow (hands-on tutorial)

1. Open Skill Creator

   • Access via sidebar → Skills/Customize area.
   • Use something like typing / then “Skill Creator.”

2. Create a new skill by defining

   • Skill name
   • Description
   • Inputs (parameters the user supplies when invoking the skill)
   • Outputs (what the skill should generate)
   • Rules (formatting/language constraints like dialect, logical wrong answers, difficulty progression, etc.)

3. The skill is built around a key file:

   • skill.md is presented as the most important artifact—the file Cloud reads when you call the skill.

4. Download and upload

   • After building, download skill.md and upload it back into Cloud to install it as a usable skill.

Example 1: “YouTube Script Generator” skill (content automation)

The speaker demonstrates creating a skill that:

• Generates YouTube scripts and related assets (e.g., video description, suggested titles, tags/hashtags).
• Maintains consistent speaking style by reusing prior script patterns.
• When invoked, it first reads the relevant skill.md to apply the configured style rules.

Example 2: “Programming Quiz Generator” skill (learning/assessment automation)

A second skill creates interactive quizzes, including:

• Inputs

  • Programming topic (e.g., Dart + “Four Loops”)
  • Number of questions (default mentioned: 10)
  • Difficulty level (default mentioned: beginner, with options like intermediate/advanced)
  • Example domains: Flutter topics, Python, Java, etc.

• Outputs

  • Multiple-choice questions
  • Explanations for answers in a dialect (Egyptian Arabic is specified)
  • Logic-based wrong options (not obviously wrong)
  • Optional code snippets when required
  • Quiz delivery via Artifacts; options can be tried interactively, and the AI explains correctness and next steps

The speaker also notes you can adjust skill instructions, such as:

• Changing the target frontend stack (e.g., HTML/CSS/JS instead of React) when generating code/web content.

Reusing and installing skills from online sources

The video explains that many skills already exist:

• Use the built-in browse/install tools inside the Cloud UI.
• For larger catalogs, it points to Cloud Marketplaces, specifically Agent Skills:
  • Claims there are 200,000+ skills
  • You can search skills by name

For an example skill (“Grill Me”):

• The marketplace skill is described as interviewing-style: it asks many questions to test understanding (e.g., interview preparation).
• The speaker describes copying the skill.md instructions and installing/creating the skill from them in Cloud.

Maintenance actions in Skills

After installing a skill, you can:

• Save it (instead of repeatedly downloading/uploading)
• Manage skills: download/reinstall/modify
• Disable a skill so it won’t be summoned via slash commands
• Delete via a menu (three dots / install action mentioned as deletion)

Main speakers/sources (as mentioned in the subtitles)

• Ahmed Adel (host/speaker; “Learn Simply” channel / “Learn Simply”)
• Subtitled mentions of Cloud’s UI/components and marketplace users:
  • Skill creators like the one for “Grill Me”
  • Prebuilt “Cloud company” skills (e.g., Skills Creator, graphics/eater skills referenced)
