02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Start with a Problem Statement

Instead of designing a solution, simply explain a recurring problem or frustration to Claude in your terminal, as if you were venting to a colleague.

Prompt:
Hey Claude, I keep forgetting to return things on time. Also, I hate them. Just have to get that off my chest. I want you to come up with some solutions to make this easier for me. What do you got?
2

Engage in Collaborative Refinement

Answer Claude's clarifying questions. If the initial suggestions aren't ambitious enough, push back and challenge the AI to find a more automated solution (e.g., 'Can't you just figure that out?').

3

Let Claude Design and Build

Once you've agreed on an approach (e.g., giving Claude access to your email to see order confirmations), instruct it to build the solution. It will write the necessary skill files, scripts, and create a new command for you.

4

Test Your New Custom Skill

Use the new command (e.g., /returns) that Claude created to run your custom automation and solve your original problem.
