    Up and running in three steps

    1

    Upload the skills

    In Claude, go to Customize, then Skills, and upload each .zip. Don't unzip them first. (Code execution needs to be on under Settings, then Capabilities.)

    2

    Connect your tools

    Under Customize, then Connectors, add the ones you use: Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Buffer, your email tool.

    3

    Pick one and start

    The guide has a "which one first" chart and the exact first message to type for each skill.

    Four systems, one kit

    Answer every lead fast

    Most small businesses don't have a lead problem. They have a reply problem. The speed-to-lead skill sweeps your inbox for people you never got back to and drafts the replies, so you just read and send.

    Win back past customers

    Your cheapest next job is usually from someone who already paid you once. Upload your customer list and the win-back skill splits it by how long it's been and writes the emails.

    Keep your marketing going out

    The Social Media Engine interviews you once, then writes a month of posts from your real jobs, photos and reviews.

    Give every new customer a great first week

    The onboarding skill drafts the welcome email, a one-page what-to-expect sheet and the kickoff, and with connectors it puts the kickoff on your calendar and makes the customer's folder.

    Frequently asked questions

    A paid Claude plan (about $20 a month for Pro; check claude.com/pricing for current plans) with code execution turned on. Connectors are optional but make each skill much faster: Gmail or Outlook for speed to lead and onboarding, Google Calendar and Drive for onboarding, Buffer for social posts, and your email tool (MailerLite, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot) for win-back campaigns.

    No. Every skill in the kit drafts and you approve. Replies are saved as email drafts, campaigns are created as drafts, posts land in Buffer as drafts, and calendar events are tentative with no invitations sent.

    Only upload what the skill needs. Before you upload a customer list, delete columns like card numbers, account numbers and private notes. The win-back skill only needs names, emails, the last job date and what they bought. Try it on the sample list first.

    Not if you let it do the voice interview. The first skill you run asks five questions and writes a one-page voice doc that every skill in the kit uses, and each skill checks its writing for the phrases that give AI away.

    If it says SKILL.md must start with YAML frontmatter, the file was unzipped before uploading. Download the .zip again and upload it as is. Also check that code execution is on under Settings, then Capabilities.

    Yes. These are the skills from the Practical AI Systems for Small Business webinar with SCORE Twin Cities, plus the guide.

    Rather have it built for you?

    We set up the automated versions too: a text back within a minute of every new lead, win-back campaigns that run each season, and onboarding that starts the moment a contract is signed.
