What you'll learn
Distinguish what Cowork can do, and where it hits limits
Evaluate the trade-offs: clicks over code, local file access, but no cross-session memory. Know before you build.
Design checkpoints that trigger before context runs out
Plan triggers based on time, milestones, and remaining capacity. Capture critical context before limits hit.
Convert your best prompts into reusable skills files
Transform what works into portable .md files you can reuse across Claude Code, Cowork, and other AI tools.
Why this topic matters
Most people struggle to build AI agents that actually work.
Those who push forward hit a wall where context quality drops off a cliff. Agents forget prior decisions and handoffs break with no audit trail.
But now, you can build agents without IDEs or code thanks to Claude Cowork. I'll show you how to apply agent design and context state management to build agent workflows.
