In this tutorial, Danny Walsh explains his workflow for turning prompts into reusable "skills" within Claude (and similarly in ChatGPT). He walks through accessing the Skills folder via account settings, taking screenshots for documentation, and building skills that can consist of dozens of files. Walsh showcases several of his own skills—Docuboss for advanced document creation, an FFmpeg video manipulation skill, a Scrub Video Gen experiment, and a banned‑words‑and‑phrases skill that automatically checks any generated content before Claude outputs it. By organizing prompts as skills, he saves time, reduces the need to remember past work, and creates a scalable system for repetitive tasks.

I save it, and I don't mean I save it in a Google Drive. You can do— I don't mean to paste it up in the chat. You can do— what I do is I save prompts as skills, and in my Claude, I have a skills folder. So you go, you click your name in the corner, works on ChatGPT as well. You go in Claude, you press settings, you go into your account, you look for skills. It looks like this. Take a screenshot. And inside of my skills folder, I've built not just one prompt as a skill. Some of these skills have got 50 files that make up these skills. Claude loves skills, and I love building skills because what happens is it means that it saves me a fortune and I don't have to remember what I did, right? So I've got the Docuboss that creates documents better than Claude does. I've got this FFmpeg one-off skill which does something cool with video that I don't need to get into right now. I've got a Scrub Video Gen. It's like, what even is this thing? Well, I'm geeking out and doing some crazy stuff with video. You might not need that, but I do have something that everybody needs, and I've got a banned words and phrases skill. Right, so the first thing Claude does before it writes any copy, it writes any email, it does anything for me, is it checks my banned words and phrases.
