If you can't build your OWN agent skills, you're leaving MASSIVE productivity gains on the table. Agent Skills are powerful tools to have in your AI Agentic Coding arsenal. Period. 🎥 Featured Links: - Fork Terminal Skill: https://github.com/disler/fork-repository-skill - Tactical Agentic Coding: https://agenticengineer.com/tactical-agentic-coding?y=X2ciJedw2vU - Agent Skills: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview 🔥 In this raw, unfiltered AI coding devlog, we're building a complete agent skill from the ground up. No flashy demos, no hype - just pure agentic coding and prompt engineering in action. Watch as we create the Fork Terminal skill using Claude Code, demonstrating the exact process you need to master to build powerful, reusable agent skills. 🛠️ This video showcases agentic coding at its finest. We start with pen and paper planning (the secret weapon every engineer overlooks), then progressively build out a fully functional skill that lets you fork terminal sessions and spin up new agentic coding environments. See how proper planning and prompt engineering combine to create agent skills that scale your compute and multiply your impact. 💡 You'll learn the critical components of agent skill architecture: the pivot file (skill.md), the tools directory, the prompts directory, and the cookbook for progressive disclosure. This isn't just theory - we live-code the entire Fork Terminal skill, handling Mac and Windows support, integrating with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI, and implementing conversation summarization for true context window forking. 🚀 IndyDevDan takes you through every step of the agentic devlog process, from initial concept to working proof of concept. Learn how to use Claude Code and Claude skills effectively, leverage Astral UV for Python tooling, and build agent skills that let you spawn parallel agents working on different problems simultaneously. This is in-loop agentic coding at its best. 🌟 Whether you're building with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex CLI, understanding agent skills and prompt engineering is non-negotiable in the age of AI. This AI devlog demonstrates the fundamental shift in how we build software - where prompts become the new fundamental unit of programming and agent skills become your force multipliers. 🔍 Key concepts covered: - Agent Skills: Build reusable, composable skills for your AI agents - Claude Code: Master in-loop agentic coding with Claude - Prompt Engineering: Write effective prompts and progressive disclosure patterns - Fork Terminal: Spawn parallel agent sessions for maximum productivity - Agentic Coding: Scale your compute to scale your impact - Devlog: Real, raw software development with AI coding tools - Claude Skills: Understand the architecture behind powerful agent skills 💻 This isn't your typical polished tutorial - this is a real AI coding devlog where you see the actual process, including the mistakes, iterations, and problem-solving. Learn how to think through problems before touching code, use planning notebooks effectively, and leverage Claude Code to build production-ready agent skills. Remember: The prompt is the fundamental unit of knowledge work in the generative AI age. Skills let you deploy prompts and code against any problem in a consistent, reusable way. Stay focused and keep building. 📖 Chapters 00:00 Let's Build a Skill from Scratch 02:13 Begin with the end in mind 09:17 Initialize Skill Codebase 26:34 Agent Files 41:28 Forked Summaries #devlog #claudecode #aicoding
