The big idea

With a structure agreed, the pages get built — and this is where a Skill earns its keep. A Skill is a small reusable package (a SKILL.md plus optional templates and scripts) that teaches Claude to do a specific task your way, every time. The Minisite skill encodes this site’s design system — the nav, footer, colours, fonts, lesson layout and SEO — so every new landing page, dashboard and lesson comes out consistent without hand-building each one. Skills and MCP are complementary: MCP gives the tools, Skills give the repeatable method.

Key insight: A Skill turns ‘explain the house style again’ into ‘use the house style.’ It’s how one good design system gets applied perfectly across dozens of pages.
