Intro to Claude Cowork & Skills (IRL in NYC)

Claude Cowork and Skills are two of the most powerful things Claude has shipped this year, and most people still have no idea how to actually use them! This workshop fixes that.
In 90 minutes, you'll learn how to get the most out of Cowork and Skills together: hooking Cowork up to the tools you already use (calendar, meeting notes, project tracker, docs, whatever you've got), then turning your real workflows into Skills that do the work for you.
You'll leave knowing how to use both well, with a small library of working Skills you built yourself, including at least one that runs on a schedule without you.
What we'll do (3 blocks, 30 min each):
Master Cowork. Get your tools connected and learn what Cowork can actually do beyond chat. Run your first real queries against your own data.
Build simple Skills. We'll teach you how to recognize what should be a Skill in the first place, then walk you through building a few from scratch.
Stack Skills into real workflows. Take your simple Skills and adapt them: chain steps, pull from multiple tools, and put them on a schedule so they run without you.
Who it's for
People who use Claude in chat but haven't really crossed over into Cowork yet. People who've poked at Cowork and want a coherent way to actually use it day to day. And Claude Code users who realize they don't need that much firepower for most of their everyday AI work and want a lighter, faster way to get real value. No coding experience needed. Bring real work.
