Think of a skill like a recipe. It tells Claude Code the name of the dish, the ingredients, the steps, and the finished output. Every time you ask it to make that dish, it reads the recipe and produces consistent results. And because Claude Code updates the skill document after each run with learnings and workarounds, the recipe only gets better over time.

One command triggers the full pipeline. Claude Code extracts the YouTube transcript, identifies key themes and memorable quotes, then produces platform-specific content:

• LinkedIn: Professional post — hook, 2-3 key takeaways, CTA (under 1,300 chars). Whiteboard-style infographic with key steps.
• X: Casual, opinionated post with a curiosity-gap hook (under 280 chars). Bold quote card with the best line.
• Instagram: 5-7 tweet-style carousel slides with your profile photo and verified badge. Each slide: 1-2 punchy sentences.

Everything saves to drafts/[video-name]/ with separate folders per platform.

Each time you run this workflow and give feedback, Claude Code updates its skill document with learnings — workarounds for transcript extraction, tone preferences, visual styles, API quirks, image sizing rules. It also logs known issues and auto-fixes them. By the 10th run, it produces near-perfect drafts with minimal revision needed.

After your first few runs, use /init to create a CLAUDE.md file — the system prompt for your project (keep it under 150 lines). Move Python scripts into a scripts/ folder. A clean workspace helps Claude Code maintain context as you add more skills and scale the project.

This skill handles LinkedIn, X, and Instagram — but you can extend it to TikTok, Facebook, Threads, or any platform Blotato supports (9 total). Build separate skills for getting inspiration, content calendars, or video creation. Each skill lives in .claude/commands/ and can be invoked independently.
