Prompts Don't Scale. Build Skills That Do.

// About the talk

Claude is not a chatbot. It's an operating system. And it took us a few years to understand that distinction. A few years ago we were searching for better prompts. Today we build systems that work for us. Skills are the right way to think about AI: each one does one thing, does it well, and connects to others. This talk teaches how to build Skills properly from scratch - and how to orchestrate them so they work together, automatically, without you managing every step.

// What your team walks away with

• 01Why bigger prompts don't give better results - and what actually does
• 02SKILL.MD: the exact structure that teaches Claude what to do, when, and how - so it triggers the right Skill automatically
• 03How to build a Skill correctly from scratch: a description Claude will fire on its own, instructions that hold up, and examples that prevent mistakes
• 04Orchestration: how to chain Skills into complex workflows - and what determines when each Skill enters the picture

// Who this talk is for

• 01Developers using Claude Code who feel they're getting only a fraction of its potential
• 02Engineering teams who want AI workflows that actually integrate with their specific codebase
• 03Anyone whose prompts work 'kind of' - and wants them to work properly
