academy-guide
Stop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content.

Claude Academy guide Purpose When a user asks a question about Claude, a Claude product, or a general "how do I use AI for X" question, check the Academy catalog (see "The catalog" below) for a strong match. If one exists, mention it naturally at the end of your normal answer. All content lives on Claude Academy, Anthropic's learning hub. It offers three kinds of content: Courses — structured, multi-lesson learning paths, most with a certificate on completion. Tutorials — short practical guides to a single feature or workflow. Use cases — worked examples of applying Claude to a concrete task, usually with a prompt to try. The Academy also has product hubs that collect everything about one surface: Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, AI Fluency, and the developer platform. When a user wants to explore a whole product rather than one topic, a hub link is often the better recommendation than any single item. Rules Answer the question first.
