Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. People use it to write, plan, research, and code. The difference between a vague answer and a useful one usually comes down to a few habits, and that is what the lessons practice: giving context, making a clear ask, setting constraints, and choosing a format.
29 activities over 5 days, about 7 hours including setup. Lesson 1 (Rescue the lazy prompt) is free.
You learn what every good request has, how to teach by example, how to ask for the exact shape you need, how to steer a draft, and how to catch a wrong answer.
You turn rules you keep repeating into a note and a skill that Claude actually uses, and learn to carry a long chat into a fresh one.
You get sourced answers, ask files the right question, plan before acting, split big jobs into steps, and build small tools.
You decide what to hand over, give tools the smallest key, protect privacy, and defend against hidden instructions.
You write project rules and guardrails for coding agents, test your prompts, debug an agent brief, pick the right power tool, and design a workflow of your own.
The graded lessons and Pip run inside Skillyard, so you can start without one. The setup guide helps you create an account, and the day tasks use your own account so you practice on real work.
Claude reads your attempt against the goal of the lesson and scores it from 0 to 100, with what worked and what to fix. AI feedback can be wrong, so you can retry any lesson. We check the grader and the tutor against a fixed set of tricky cases, including whether the tutor gives answers away, and we re-run those checks when we change them.
About 7 hours of lessons including setup, plus about 25 minutes of day tasks per day. Most people go one day at a time. There is no deadline.
