Your First Claude Skill: Email Triage in One Prompt

In the last episode, Claude got access to your inbox, but you were still typing the same instructions every morning. This episode fixes that for good. Watch Jason build his first Claude skill, an email triage routine that summarizes unread mail from the last 24 hours, sorts it into needs reply, can wait, or ignore, and auto-drafts professional replies straight to Gmail.
You'll see the difference between a prompt (a one-off request) and a skill (a procedure you write once and reuse), how to create a skill using the built-in skill creator, the trigger phrases and slash commands that launch it, and how to iterate on a skill the same way you'd coach a new assistant. By the end you'll have a working triage skill and a simple assignment to capture your next one. The episode closes with a teaser: skills can run on a schedule, so this routine can fire at 6 a.m. every day without you.
