The split happening with AI right now

Every time AI gets a serious upgrade, a split happens. Some people are getting results that look almost unfair. Everyone else is doing the same thing and getting nothing close. Nobody is talking about why. I run three companies on AI. Corporates fly me in to figure out what's genuinely worth building on, not what's just making noise. Here's what I keep seeing. Most people use Claude the same way every time. Type a prompt, get an output, and every single time Claude starts from scratch. No memory of how you work, no idea what good looks like for you. There's a feature built to fix exactly that. It's called skills and it just got three massive upgrades. Today I'm building two of these live and at some point I'm going to show you two outputs side by side. One with this setup properly, one without. When you see that difference, everything clicks. By the way, all the skill files and templates from this video go straight to our WhatsApp community links in the description. Join us there. Quick recap

What a skill actually is

on what a skill actually is. A skill is not code. It's not an app. It's not even a prompt in the usual sense. It's an instructional manual written in plain English that teaches Claude how to do something your way. Go to claude. ai. Open settings. Click on capabilities. You'll see skills. Click go to customize to open skills. You'll see a list of skills. Think of a carpenter given a detailed specification for building a chair. Every measurement, every joint, every finish. Claude follows that specification exactly every time without you explaining it again. That's what a skill is. So why does skills 2. 0 exist?

Why Skills 1.0 was broken

Because 1. 0 had a problem. Actually, two problems. First, is my skill working the way I think it is? You'd build a skill, use it a few times, get outputs that seemed okay, but you had no data, no proof, no way to know if the skill was actually doing what it was supposed to do. It felt like a black box. Second, and this one's even more frustrating, is Claude even using my skill in the first place. You'd build a PPT skill. You'd say, "Build a PPT. " And Claude would just produce a generic PPT. Your skill never got called and you had no idea why. That was skills 1. 0. So, Anthropic

3 Superpowers of Skills 2.0

dropped a major skills update and it solves both problems. Actually, it solves three superpowers. Let's go through each one. Superpower one, EVALs.

Superpower 1: Evals

Evals tests your skill against realistic scenarios. It runs your skill through different situations and tells you where is it working and where is it breaking.

Superpower 2: Benchmark

Power two benchmark. Here's the thing. AI models keep improving. Claude today is better than Claude 6 months ago. But here's the question nobody was asking. When the model improves, does your skill still add value? Your PPT skill was built to fill gaps in what the old model couldn't do? But what if the new model already produces great PPTs on its own? Is your skill still needed or is it getting in the way? Think of it this way. You upgrade your kitchen, new oven, better equipment. Does your old recipe still work on the new setup? Maybe, maybe not. You need to test it. That's what benchmark does. Every time Claude gets an upgrade, you can test whether your skill is still making a difference

Superpower 3: Triggers

or whether Claude's already caught up on its own. Superpower three, triggers. This one is simple, but it matters a lot. When you say build a PPT, does your PPT skill actually get called? because sometimes it doesn't. You get generic output and you have no idea why because your skill was never being invoked in the first place. Triggers tell you whether your skill is activating at the right moments. If it's not, you fix the trigger description so it fires exactly when you need it. Now, before we build anything, there's one more thing you

Two types of skills explained

need to understand because it changes how you approach the build. Type one

Type 1: Skill Booster

skill booster. There are two types of skills. This is when Claude is genuinely weak at something. Not terrible, just not as good as you need it to be. So, your skill fills that gap. Simple example, ask Lord to write a report. It'll write something, but it'll be generic, no structure, bad formatting, looks like slop. But add a docx skill which Anthropic provides for free and suddenly the same report is clean, structured, professional. The skill uplifted a capability gap. That's capability uplift. You're patching a specific weakness with your expertise.

Type 2: Encoded Reference

Type two encoded reference. This is different. Claude isn't necessarily bad at the task, but you have a very specific way of getting the desired output like your workflow, your criteria, your preferences, and so on. Great example, meeting notes. Claude can summarize a meeting. It's actually decent at it. But maybe you don't want a summary. You want who owns which action item, by when, what's the priority, nothing else. That's an encoded reference skill. You're not uplifting a capability. You're encoding your taste, your process, teaching your AI how you think. Two different problems, two different skill types. And today, we're going to build one of each. All right.

Demo 1: Website Copy Generator

Demo one, skill booster. I build a lot of websites, multiple landing pages, different products, different campaigns. And here's the problem. If I ask Claude to write website copy, what I get back is generic templatey. It doesn't follow any of the copy principles I've developed over years working with marketers. The specific rules I know actually converts. So, I'm going to encode those rules into a skill. And from now on, every website Claude builds for me follows my framework. Not Claude's default, mine. One rule before you build any skill. Don't be generic in how you define it. Saying, "Write me great website copy. " That is not a skill. That's a vague instruction. A skill has a structure. Now, if you're thinking, "I don't have a process like that. " Here's what I do. Before I build any skill, I ask Claude, "What are the key decisions and rules I should define for a skill that does X? " It'll pull the structure out of your head for you. That's the trick. Use AI to figure out what to teach AI. Once that's clear, then you build. Sounds good. Let's build. I want to build a website copy generator skill that takes my inputs about a product or service and generates a complete production ready landing page following my copy rules and my design system. And critically, I don't just describe the skill. I paste in my actual rules, my copy principles, the page structure, the color palette, the typography guidelines I've refined over years of actual marketing work. All of it. This is what makes the skill powerful. not the description, but the encoded knowledge inside it. Now, watch what Skills 2. 0 does that 1. 0 never did.

Skills 2.0 builds & tests it live

It doesn't just build the skill, it tests it automatically. It creates a fictional product. In this case, a SAS tool called Calendar Flow runs the skill on it, generates a full landing page right now before I've approved anything. And I can preview the output before saving. Clean layout, strong copy hierarchy, follows my framework exactly. I'm satisfied. I click copy to your skills. Done. Skill one saved. But then I did something else. And this is where

Benchmark: With skill vs without

skills 2. 0 really shows its value. I ran a benchmark. I asked Claude to take the same brief, an AI health app, and build two versions. One using my skill, one with no skill at all. Just Claude's raw default output. Same brief, same model, same moment. This is with my skill and this is without. See the difference? That's what benchmarking actually means. Not a theory or a chart. This side by side, the same AI, the gap between output that's generic and output that's yours. And now I know the skill is working. I have proof. All right, demo two. And this one's the skill I teased

Demo 2: AI News Curator

at the start because it changed how I run my weekly AI news show. This one's not about fixing a weakness. It's about encoding my judgment. That's what a personal playbook does. I'm building an AI news curator. Here's what I wanted to do. Search for AI news from the last 15 days. But not just any news. News that follows my three specific criteria. One, broadly applicable. Not just for developers, not niche, something anyone in my audience can act on. Two, genuinely interesting. A real AI development, not just another product announcement. Three, practical benefit. Something that actually helps my audience in their work. And I want Claude to score every news item on those three criteria. one to 10 each and give me the top 10. Plus, suggest viral AI tools from the same period and one India specific AI story because that's my core audience. Now, notice what's different here from the first demo. I'm not uplifting a capability gap. Claude can find AI news, it's decent at it, but my specific curation criteria, that scoring system, that India angle, that audience filter, that's my encoded preference.

Personal Playbook explained

That's what this skill captures. my taste, my editorial judgment, skills 2. 0, tests it immediately. It searches the web, scores the results against my criteria, produces a sample bulletin. Right now in the same session where I'm building it, the output scored news items with reasoning, an India AI corner, viral tools with brief descriptions, a curator stake, exactly what I'd want. I copy this to my skills and from this week forward, every time I prep my AI updates, I invoke this skill first. It handles the curation. I handle the commentary. That's personal playbook. Claude had the raw capability.
