Fit check
Is this right for me?
- Can't I just use Claude's skill-creator on my own?
You can. We use it in the workshop. The skill-creator generates files. This workshop teaches what makes a Skill good, safe, dangerous, or malicious, and where to ship it so agents can actually find it. The tool is the easy part. Format and distribution are what get a Skill installed and used.
- I don't have a product yet, just an idea. Can I attend?
Yes! Bring your idea. You'll generate a Skill from your concept, test it on real prompts, and ship it to a directory. The workshop runs end-to-end on whatever you bring, concept or product.
- Are there recordings available? What if I have schedule conflicts?
Choose self-paced and start anytime. Enrolled live and can't attend? I'll move you to a future session at no cost - you still get the slides and recording.
- I work full-time. What's the time commitment?
One 4-hour session. No pre-work required. Optional 30-minute meet-and-greet before and extended Q&A after.
- Can my employer reimburse this?
Many participants use L&D or professional development budgets. Maven provides an expense template to make the case.
