Three skills that help you build, improve, and cost-optimize your own Claude skills. From AI Builder Academy.
| Skill | What it does | Try saying |
|---|---|---|

Helps you answer "what skill(s) should I build?". Researches how you work, suggests 3–5 high-leverage candidates, and builds the one you pick | "Help me figure out what skill to build" |
skill-updater |
Improves an existing skill. Turns your feedback and edits into principles the skill keeps. | "Update the skill based on what we just did" |
cost-optimizer |
Estimates what the current conversation cost in tokens and dollars, then translates it into a break-even hourly wage. | "What did this conversation cost?" |
