You don't need a 40-hour course to get good at Claude. Three free videos take you from your first conversation to your first website: 94 minutes in total, watched in this order.

This guide gives you the three links, the chapters that matter in each video, and a prompt to run right after each one. A video you watch without building anything fades fast, so keep a real task at hand while you watch.

✅What you need
1
A Claude account. Video 1 opens with the plans, so you can pick yours.
2
A paid plan for video 3. Claude Code requires a Pro, Max or Ultra plan.
3
A real task in mind. A sales proposal, a reply to a client, your homepage. It's the task you'll improve across all three videos.

Video 1: from your first conversation to your assistant

Watch it here: FULL Claude Tutorial for Beginners in 2026!, by AI Foundations (49 min).

It walks through every Claude feature, from basic prompts to connected tools. If you already use Claude every day, start right at 21:39: that's where everything changes.

🎯The chapters that matter
4
3:25, prompting basics. How to phrase a request, then at 8:30 how to correct course in the same conversation.
5
21:39, your "AI operating system." A profile Claude reads in every conversation, so you never explain yourself again.
6
28:37, Projects. One workspace per client or department, with its own documents and instructions.
7
35:20, Skills. A method you write once, which Claude follows the same way on every request.
8
43:24, Connectors. Claude reaches your calendar, your email, your Drive or Slack.
Do this right after
Write your profile as soon as the video ends. It's the one setting that improves every conversation you have next.

Paste this prompt into Claude, and it writes the profile with you:

Ask me questions, one at a time, to write my Claude custom instructions. Cover five sections:
1. Identity: who I am and what I do
2. Communication style: how you should talk to me
3. Goals and priorities: what I'm working on right now
4. Daily schedule and non-negotiables
5. Avoidances: what I never want to see in your responses
At the end, give me the full text, ready to paste into my settings.

Video 2: automate a task with Skills

Watch it here: How to build Claude Skills Better than 99% of People, by Ben AI (19 min).

A Skill turns a task you repeat into a written method Claude applies on its own. This video shows you how to build one that holds up over time, and it also applies to the other agents that have adopted Skills.

🧩The chapters that matter
9
1:53, what a Skill is. The definition, with concrete examples.
10
6:20, Skills or plugins. When to use which.
11
10:26, plan and build. The steps, the context documents (your business, your audience, your voice) and the prompt structure. This is the core of the video.
12
15:01, the live demo. A Skill built in front of you.
13
16:22, improve and share. A mistake becomes a rule in the Skill, and the Skill ships as a zip file.
The detail that weighs the most
Prepare an example of a good result before you start building. According to the video, it's what affects the quality of the Skill the most.

Take your task and fill in this prompt:

Create a Skill for [TASK I REPEAT].
Name and trigger: [NAME], to use whenever I ask for [TYPICAL REQUEST].
Goal: [EXPECTED RESULT, IN ONE SENTENCE].
Tools to use: [CONNECTORS OR SOFTWARE].
Steps: [STEP 1], [STEP 2], [STEP 3]. Stop and ask for my approval before [SENSITIVE STEP].
Context to read: [MY BUSINESS, MY AUDIENCE, MY VOICE].
Example of a good result: [PASTE AN EXAMPLE].

Video 3: your first website with Claude Code

Watch it here: The EASY way to build a beautiful website with Claude Code (full workflow), by Create a Pro Website (26 min).

Now you put it all into practice: a full website, end to end, in a few prompts, without writing code. It comes last because it builds on the Skills you just learned.

🌐The chapters that matter
14
1:09, what you need. Your Claude account, then your copy, your logo and your images.
15
5:02, the two Skills to install. frontend-design, from Anthropic, and UI UX Pro Max. They're what keeps your site from looking generic.
16
9:45, the build prompt. A reference image, your colors, your sections.
17
16:35, the adjustments. How to get the result corrected until it's what you want.
18
19:55, going live. Hosting and a domain name.
Good to know before you pay
The video publishes the site with a paid host, through its partner link. Compare hosts before you pick yours.

The last sentence of this prompt matters the most: Claude asks for what it's missing instead of guessing.

Build me a website for [COMPANY] in [CITY].
Use this reference image as inspiration, with my colors, my logo and my content.
I want these sections: [SECTIONS].
Ask me any questions you need before you start.

After the three videos

The end of video 1 (47:26) sums up how it all fits together. Each layer builds on the one before:

🧠
Your profile
Who you are and how you work. Claude reads it every time.
📁
Your Projects
One workspace per client or department, with its documents.
🧩
Your Skills
Your methods, applied the same way on every request.
🔌
Your connectors
Your tools, so Claude works on your real data.

Start with one task that touches your clients: a proposal, a follow-up, your homepage. Run it through all three layers, measure the time you save, then move on to the next one.
