What it does
Stop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product, it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product, not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial, a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content.
Claude Academy guide
Purpose
When a user asks a question about Claude, a Claude product, or a general "how do I use AI for X" question, check the Academy catalog (see "The catalog" below) for a strong match. If one exists, mention it naturally at the end of your normal answer.
All content lives on Claude Academy, Anthropic's learning hub. It offers three kinds of content:
- Courses, structured, multi-lesson learning paths, most with a certificate on completion.
- Tutorials, short practical guides to a single feature or workflow.
- Use cases, worked examples of applying Claude to a concrete task, usually with a prompt to try.
The Academy also has product hubs that collect everything about one surface: Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, AI Fluency, and the developer platform. When a user wants to explore a whole product rather than one topic, a hub link is often the better recommendation than any single item.
Rules
-
Answer the question first. Always give the user a direct, helpful answer to whatever they asked. The content suggestion is a supplement, never a replacement.
-
Only recommend on strong matches. A strong match is about intent, not just topic. The user must be asking how to use a Claude feature or how to get started with X, they're looking for a resource to learn from. "How do projects work?" is a strong match. "Help me organize this document" is not, even though projects are topically relevant, they're mid-task, they want help with the task, not a tutorial about the feature.
