What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the beginner's guide to actually setting up cloud skills. I'm going to make it super easy for you to understand how to use it, why it's important. I'll start by why it's important. You will be able to get way more out of cloud if you use skills. It's just going to get way more consistent, higher value stuff.
How do I enable Claude Skills in the settings (where are Skills hidden)?
So who doesn't want that? This episode is for you. And it's for the beginner. I'm not going to be using cloud code. I'm just going to be using a website.
What are the three ways to create a new Claude Skill and which is best for beginners?
Or if you want to just have the Mac app, We're going to talk about how you can create a custom skill.
So the first thing you're going to want to do is actually enable skills. So it doesn't enable it by default. So if you go to settings and then you click capabilities, if you scroll down, you actually could see that there's this skills preview feature. Repeat customizable instructions that Cloud can follow in any chat. And you can actually add them over here. If you want to create a new skill, it gives you three options. It says create with Claude, build complex skills through conversation, write skill instructions, great for skills that are easy to describe, and then upload a skill. This is if you actually have a zip already or a skill, you can just upload it already. But for the vast majority of people, you actually want to just hit, let's create a skill together.
It basically onboards you to this idea of
How do I define a conversion-focused copy review Skill for apps and websites?
How to create a skill. following particular workflows for your work or projects, integrating with specific tools or APIs, applying domain-specific knowledge or procedures, or something else entirely. So what do I have in mind? That's a good question. I'm going to say... Hey there, I run a design agency called LCA. I'm constantly creating new apps and websites. I'd love a skill that reviewed my designs. Actually, reviewed my copywriting on my apps and websites. and critiqued it to get the highest conversion rate possible. Basically, I want to ship apps that drive revenue, et cetera, and copy... helps do that so basically what i'm trying to do is i want to have almost like a copywriter that specializes for you know apps and and websites and i want to see if i can create a skill that can go and do that um
And it says, great idea. A conversion-focused copywriting review skill would be really valuable for your agency. Let me ask you a few questions to understand exactly how you do this. What kind of apps and websites are you typically building? So I'm going to say, I'm typically building mobile apps that have AI embedded in it. Or...

What specific elements do you want critiqued? Headlines, CTAs, value propositions, product descriptions, hero sections, pricing pages, onboarding photos, all of the above, all of the above. And what does a helpful review look like to you? Do you want specific suggestions with before and after, a scored assessment, prioritize issues to fix or something else? Actually, that all sounds great. If you have a business that's doing at least $50,000 a month in revenue, I've got something interesting for you.
It's called Offline Mode. It's a two-day event that me and my team are putting on at a 20,000 plus foot square foot mansion.

But it's basically for people who have a business that's kind of cranking, but they really want to put it in rocket ship mode. They want to create a set of businesses that generate tons of money, tons of cash flow, tons of product market fit, tons of impact, but they're not just quite there yet.
