Claude just launched Skills across all their platforms, and I've spent a week testing the Claude Code implementation specifically. Do Claude Code Skills actually solve problems developers have, or are they better suited for consumer platforms like Claude.ai?
I compare Skills to the developer tools we already use - subagents, commands, and memories - to understand where they fit in our workflow.
In this video, we'll explore what makes Skills fundamentally different from existing Claude Code features, test them in real development scenarios, and figure out whether they deserve a place in our daily workflow. Through practical examples and honest testing, we'll discover when Skills multiply productivity and when they might get in your way.
