Skills as a Product for Agents. Ship to a New AI Distribution Channel in 4 hours
Skills are not just Markdown files that automate your day. They are a new way to package, distribute, and ship product experiences inside AI tools.
This workshop takes you from "Skills as Automation" to "Skills as a Product".
Turn your APIs, SDKs, CLIs, docs, and MCP servers into tutorials, onboarding flows, process libraries, product demos, and sales enablement. Publishing a Skill places your product inside Claude, Vercel, and the agent environments where users already work.
In four hours, you'll build and ship a full Skill for your product.
You'll see what's inside a real Skill, what good and risky look like, and how to spot malicious or unethical patterns. Then you'll create a Skill for your own product or idea, choosing from documentation, onboarding, process delivery, or marketing.
You'll test it against real prompts, improve how it triggers, package it on GitHub, install it, and ship it where agents can find it.
You leave with a working Skill, a clearer view of where Skills belong on your product roadmap, and a practical sense of what ethical Skills look like.
Walk in: you've heard about Skills.
Walk out: your product Skill is built, tested, installed, and shipping where agents live.
