## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I want a Claude skill that writes new lessons for my course, [COURSE NAME, e.g. Confident Pricing for Freelancers], in exactly the format of the lesson I've attached. My students are [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. freelancers in their first two years]. Study my lesson and worksheet, then capture the structure: how I open, how long each part runs, how I explain an idea, the kind of exercise I set, how the worksheet is laid out and how many quiz questions I use. When I give the skill a topic and my rough notes, it should write the full lesson in that structure: learning goals, a spoken script in my voice, one real-world example, an exercise, a printable worksheet and a short quiz with answers. Treat my notes as the source of truth and mark any fact you added so I can check it. Ask me before you build if anything about my format isn't clear.
```

## Step by step

1. Turn on Code execution in Settings, then switch on skill-creator in Customize, then Skills.
2. Open a new chat, attach your best lesson and its worksheet, then paste the prompt.
3. Answer Claude's questions about your students and format, then save the skill it makes.
4. Start a fresh chat, name the skill and give it the next lesson's topic and your rough notes.
5. Check every fact it marked, then ask Claude to update the skill with anything you changed.

## What you'll get

A lesson skill that turns any topic and rough notes into a complete lesson package that matches the rest of your course.
