Introduction to agent skills is a free course from Anthropic, online. It takes about 1 hour. Anthropic doesn't say whether there is a certificate.
We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits developers who already use Claude Code and keep pasting the same guidance into their prompts. In six lessons it shows how to package that guidance as a skill and share it with a team. It is free and Anthropic lists it at 1 hour. The main caveat is that the page names no quiz or completion badge, unlike most Claude Academy courses. If you are new to Claude Code, start with Claude Code 101, also free from Anthropic.
