Building a meeting-notes-to-tasks Skill in Claude: hands-on walkthrough with skill-creator
eyishazyer · x · 2026-09-13
Day 3 of the author's "building in Claude" series breaks down Skills: reusable instructions Claude pulls in automatically when relevant.
Key points:
- Prerequisite: enable Code Execution first in Settings → Feature Previews, then Skills
- The built-in skill-creator builds other skills for you
- Demo: a skill that turns meeting notes into action items — three setup questions, it writes the file, runs its own test cases, and delivers a downloadable Word doc with tasks, owners, and deadlines
- Tested on real messy notes: it correctly skipped a scheduling update that wasn't a task and flagged one name as unconfirmed instead of assigning it
Takeaway: whatever you keep repeating in every chat is probably a skill you haven't built yet.
