In this video, I break down my full process for building Claude Code skills end-to-end, then build a live e-commerce ad generator skill from scratch. The first generation is garbage, but the last generation is almost ready for production.
You'll see exactly how I get from one to the other...

1:43 → Step 1: Ask Claude with real direction
2:14 → Step 3: Test in fresh sessions
2:39 → Step 4: Research frameworks & feed them back
2:54 → Step 5: Flags, atomic skills & references
3:53 → Live build: ad generator for FlavCity
6:17 → First generation (and why it's rough)
7:29 → Adding Tavily for image search
