๐ Week 2: Claude Skills - REPLAY
Okay so... Today was supposed to be clean and simple โข walk you through Claude Skills, show you exactly how they work, and send you off to build your own. Instead? Claude decided to be a little moody. Skills were disappearing, refusing to save, throwing internal errors... the whole nine yards. Technology being technology. But we made it work anyway. ๐
