9 Claude Skills I Can’t Live Without (steal them)

3 min read25 Apr 2026Worth watching
TL;DR
Brock Mesarich walks through 9 free Claude 'skills' (markdown instruction files) he uses daily to run his business solo, including automated Instagram carousel generation, PDF guide creation, and scheduled dashboard reports. The video is essentially a demo of Claude Co-work's skill and scheduled task system, with a free plugin download offered.
Key points
1
A 'skill' is a plain markdown file stored in Claude that triggers a specific workflow via a keyword, functioning like a one-time-trained employee who executes perfectly every time.
2
The Instagram carousel skill uses the Nano Banana (Gemini image) API to auto-generate and schedule branded carousel posts via Blotato, requiring zero manual posting.
3
A Skills Dashboard and Skills Audit skill (skills 5 and 6) auto-run as scheduled tasks every Friday, giving a 0-100 health score and flagging duplicate or broken skills.
4
The PDF Guide skill generates editorial-style PDF lead magnets or SOPs that can be paired with ManyChat automations to auto-deliver to Instagram commenters.
5
The End of Day Summary skill runs at 6 PM daily, generating a visual HTML report of everything Claude completed, items in progress, blockers, and next-day priorities.
Actionable insights
→
Download the free 9-skill plugin from the description and use the included 'customize' skill to tailor each skill to your brand, style, and use case before deploying.
→
Only install skills from verified companies on the skills.sh directory (look for uploaders like Vercel, Microsoft, Remotion) to avoid potential malware from unknown sources.
→
Connect Claude to 9,000+ apps via Zapier MCP to supercharge any skill with live data from Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, or Google Drive.
→
Use Blotato as a custom MCP connector in Claude to schedule AI-generated Instagram carousels directly from Claude Code without touching a third-party app manually.
→
Set your Dashboard Style skill once with brand colors and typography so every HTML output Claude generates automatically matches your visual identity without re-prompting.
Notable quotes

“Think of this like training an employee one time on how to do something and they do it correctly every single time without you needing to explain it to them.”

“I have been testing this on my Instagram. We have a couple of different carousels. This one right here has over like 60,000 views. It has 1,800 likes. It's got 2,200 comments. And again, this was all created with Claude. I didn't even have to touch it.”

“I personally have about 10 or 12 different scheduled tasks that are running every single day. So these are automations that are running my skills while I'm not touching my computer.”
