What you'll learn
Understand what an agent really is
See past the jargon to how an agent works and how MCP lets it reach your tools and data.
Learn what a skill is and how to use one
Walk through the anatomy of a SKILL.md and install a skill from skills.sh for Claude or Codex.
Build your own skill
Turn a task you repeat into a reusable skill, and run a quick check to confirm it works.
Why this topic matters
Agents, MCPs, skills. The words do more to gatekeep than to explain. Once you know what each one actually is, you stop guessing and start building your own skills instead of solving the same problem twice. We keep it concrete and do it inside the tools you would actually use: Codex, Claude Code, and Cowork. No prior setup and no other lesson needed to follow along.
