AI Agents vs. Skills: How to Know What to Build

AI Agents and Skills handle tasks in fundamentally different ways. You don't want to create a custom agent when a simple skill will suffice, but a skill won't have the same scope an agent would. This guide outlines the differences between the two approaches and their use cases.

Email Manager Skill

"/email-manager" triages the user's inbox, sorts emails by urgency, skips noise, and produces ready-to-review reply drafts in the user's voice without sending anything automatically. To install, run this in your terminal after downloading the file: unzip ~/Downloads/email-manager-skill.zip -d ~/.agents/skills/

Brainstorming Skill

"/brainstorming" guides any idea through a structured design process: clarifying questions, 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, a written spec, and user approval before any implementation begins. To install, run this in your terminal after downloading the file: unzip ~/Downloads/brainstorming-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/brainstorming/

Skills for Finding the Right Clients

The "Skills for Finding the Right Clients" bundle is a group of four skills that define who you're selling to before doing anything else. These skills build your ICP, personas, objection playbook, and a qualification framework for new prospects. The "Skills for Client Outreach" and "Skills for Campaign Feedback & Improvement" bundles build on this foundation and form a full stack. To install, run this in your terminal after downloading the file: unzip ~/Downloads/foundation-bundle.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

Giving Context to Your Agents: Making Your First CLAUDE.md

CLAUDE.md is a plain text file that loads automatically at the start of every Claude Code or Cowork session. It tells Claude who you are, what you are working on, what tools you use, and how you want Claude to behave.

Business Case Builder Skill

"/business-case-builder" follows standard case structure by building a structured pitch for a new initiative, automation, or investment with ROI framing and risk summary. To install, run this in your terminal after downloading the file: unzip ~/Downloads/business-case-builder-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

Sales Rep Coaching Report Skill

"/rep-coaching-report" generates a data-driven coaching report from a rep's full pipeline from HubSpot, flags stalled deals, identifies the highest-leverage coaching opportunities with specific dollar amounts attached, and hands you a ready-to-use 1:1 agenda. To install, run this in your terminal after downloading the file: unzip ~/Downloads/rep-coaching-report-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

Build an AI Personal Trainer

A good personal trainer costs $100 an hour and sees you twice a week. Yours will live in your pocket, cost nothing, and know exactly what to tell you the morning after you slept four hours. ​Join Jon Metz, Principal AI Product Manager at Nike, for an exclusive AI Builder session where you'll build your own AI personal trainer from scratch. Jon will walk you through every step, and by the end of the hour you'll have a working AI that takes your health information and fitness goals and generates a plan that's actually yours. ​This isn't a demo. You'll be building alongside him in real time, so you'll leave with a finished product, not a to-do list. ​Jon spends his days at Nike figuring out how AI can meet athletes where they are. Now he's bringing that expertise directly to you. ​Open exclusively to AI Builder Program members.
