Claude Prompt vs Skills vs Projects
________
Are you using the right Claude feature?
Most people are not.
The most common way to use Claude is to open it and just start typing.
That works for simple tasks.
But for anything you do more than once, there are better ways.
Here's how 3 of them work:
1/ Claude Prompt:
For 90% of users, 90% of the time.
Use it when you just need a fast answer like draft an email, summarize a PDF, brainstorm ideas, etc. Or weird tasks like matching socks with your outfits like I did (ONCE).
Every chat starts from scratch. It's perfect when you need Claude quickly for a one off task.
2/ Claude Project:
For tasks you repeat at least 2x a week.
Use it when you keep giving Claude the same background again and again. Like working with different clients, analyzing customer calls, tracking expenses, etc.
A Project is basically a workspace - you upload files once, write the instructions and Claude uses that context every time. You can also update the files and instructions with time.
3/ Claude Skills:
For tasks that need strict standardized results.
Use it when you want Claude to follow a particular process the same way every time. This is best for automating workflows, brand guidelines, tool integrations, etc.
I recently created an Anti AI Slop skill that automatically detects AI tones, mistakes, and styles in anything that my team creates.
Before your next Claude session, ask one question, "Will I need to do this exact thing again?"
If no, prompt it.
If yes, build a dedicated project or a skill.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just built an App Store for Claude Code with 200,000+ agent skills.
100% Open Source. MIT License. Install in 30 seconds.
Here's what just dropped 👇
This is SkillsMP.
Think npm registry for AI agent capabilities. Except you're installing knowledge directly into Claude's brain.
Not code libraries. Pure instructions.
Install a skill. Claude becomes an expert at that thing instantly.
What's included (200,000+ skills):
→ PPTX file generation (professional decks) → GitHub PR reviews (senior engineer standards) → AWS/Azure/GCP deployments (one-click configs)
→ Data analysis pipelines (SQL + visualization) → Content automation (SEO + social media) → Business workflows (CRM + email templates)
All searchable. All free. Zero API keys.
How to install (takes 30 seconds):
1. Go to https://t.co/aESy5vc7ja
2. Search for skill you need
3. One-click install
4. Claude now has that expertise
No dependencies. No rate limits. No breakage.
The difference from ChatGPT plugins:
ChatGPT plugins need external APIs. Break constantly. Have usage limits.
Claude Skills are pure instructions.
Teach Claude HOW to think about tasks.
Work offline. Never break. No vendor lock-in.
Top skills already live:
→ "aws-lambda-deployer" (3.2K installs) - Full Lambda workflows
→ "pptx-professional" (8.7K installs) - Investor pitch decks with charts
→ "github-pr-analyst" (5.1K installs) - Security + quality reviews
→ "data-storyteller" (4.3K installs) - CSV to narrative reports
Production-ready. Not toys.
Why this matters:
Before: Hire specialist or learn skill yourself (weeks to months)
Now: Install skill. Productive in 5 minutes.
The leverage is insane.
The skill-creator skill exists:
Describe what you want Claude to do.
The skill writes itself.
Install it permanently.
Recursive capability expansion.
100% Open Source. Community-driven.
Anyone contributes. Anyone forks. Anyone improves.
No black box APIs.
This is GitHub for AI capabilities.
Great weekend at the 2026 @OntarioPCParty Convention with members, delegates, and volunteers from across the province, and honoured to serve on the Ontario PC Party Executive for GTA West.
Recap🎥 Ontario PC Party Convention in Toronto. Great to connect with Conservatives from across Ontario. Grateful for the opportunity to represent the @OntarioPCParty Executive as Regional VP for GTA West.
Here’s how it works:
🔵 Design your world and character using text and visual prompts.
🔵 Nano Banana Pro makes an image preview that you can adjust.
🔵 Our Genie 3 world model generates the environment in real-time as you move through.
🔵 Remix existing worlds or discover new ones in the gallery.
🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just dropped a massive timeline update at Davos 2026:
“I have engineers within Anthropic who say ‘I don’t write any code anymore. I just let the model write the code, I edit it’... - the creator of Claude code recently also said “100% of his contributions to Claude code were written by Claude code” for the month of December
Dario then goes onto say: “We might be 6 to 12 months away from when the model is doing most, maybe all of what SWEs do end-to-end.”
If the recursive self-improvement loop closes this year, the curve is about to go vertical.

In Brampton, I visited Burton Manor for their Community and Seniors’ Staff Appreciation Event, where I presented awards to some special residents for their contributions to this home.
As well, I visited their Living Sandwich Program – where residents stay active by preparing meals for local shelters, and their state-of-the-art skin and wound care training unit.
Your innovation continues to astound me, and thank you for the warm welcome.
