What you'll learn

What Agent Skills Really Are

A conceptual breakdown of skills beyond surface-level documentation.

The Skill Lifecycle

How skills are discovered, loaded, expanded into prompts, scoped, and executed.

Reasoning and Behavior Shaping

How Claude integrates skills into its reasoning process and decision-making.

Mental Models for Agent Design

Frameworks that make complex agent systems easier to reason about and debug.

Why this topic matters

As agentic systems grow more powerful, understanding their internal mechanics becomes critical. Treating skills as opaque abstractions limits both reliability and creativity. This session helps practitioners develop the mental models needed to design, debug, and extend agent systems with confidence; skills that transfer beyond Claude to agentic AI more broadly.
