This Claude Skills tutorial walks you through how to create, customize, and automate your own Claude Skills to save hours every week on repetitive tasks like summarizing AI news or managing your inbox. 🌎 Sponsored by QuickBooks Online ➜ https://quickbooks.kevinstratvert.com/

First, you’ll see how to turn on Claude Skills and use built-in skills like the PowerPoint skill. You’ll build a PowerPoint deck with a professional, branded theme. Next, you’ll see how to design a modern slide deck by combining the PowerPoint skill with your own color palette to make a workshop presentation that looks custom-built. Then, you’ll learn to create your own skill from scratch using the skill-creator, walking through a real example called the “AI FOMO Summarizer.”

Finally, you’ll see how Claude Skills integrate with MCP servers to connect directly to apps like QuickBooks Online or Gmail, letting Claude pull data and generate insights or draft responses automatically.
