Claude Skills

Master the unique features that make Anthropic's Claude a powerhouse for serious work.

I've spent hundreds of hours building with both OpenAI and Anthropic, and recently, Claude has become my daily driver for complex, heavily-contextual workflows. It's not just that the model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) is smart — it's because Anthropic has built specific features that fundamentally change how you interact with an LLM.

This section covers the practical, human side of using Claude effectively. We'll explore "Computer Use," where Claude actually takes control of your cursor and keyboard to complete tasks on your Mac. We'll dive into "Projects," a feature that completely changes how you organize RAG context by letting you upload entire codebases to a persistent workspace.

Finally, we'll cover the engineering side: how to use Prompt Caching to slash your API costs by 90% on long conversations, and how to effectively leverage Claude's massive 200k context window without losing the "needles in the haystack." If you are just treating Claude like another ChatGPT clone, you are missing out on its greatest strengths.
