The Skills Build
A live room of law firm owners watched Aliza Rizvi build a Skill from scratch on Claude — one command that drafts the engagement letter, the welcome email, and the kickoff calendar event. Skills turn the prompts you keep re-typing into your firm's portable SOPs.
Both free. Advanced #1: Skills, Memory & Team — going deeper on Memory layers and how to ship one Skill across your firm without nine forks of it. Irfad Imtiaz. Wednesday, May 13 · 11 AM PT.

Inside this recording
What you'll walk away with
The terminology that gets every attorney unstuck — Claude Chat vs. Claude Cowork vs. Claude Code, and what 'Skills, Connectors, Plugins' actually mean. Five minutes that save five months.
What a Skill actually is — a reusable prompt Claude remembers, identical to handing your paralegal an SOP except Claude never forgets a step.
How to build a Skill from scratch using the built-in Skill Creator — the meta-Skill that builds every other Skill in your Project.
The difference between a Chat Skill (single-purpose, like a chart generator) and a Cowork Skill (multi-step, hits Gmail + Drive + Calendar in one run) — when each is the right fit.
The new-client-onboarding Skill, built live: engagement letter from Drive, draft email in Gmail, calendar event for kickoff — one command, every new client, every time.
The portability that makes Skills different from prompts. Once a Skill exists in your Project, every team member with access runs it identically. No SOP rot. No person-of-knowledge bottleneck.
The Framework
6 Skills to ship in your first week
Skill #1 was built live in the Lab. The other five take 15 minutes each in the Skill Creator. Build one, build all six.
Intake
New client onboarding
Built live in the Lab. One command, four moves: engagement letter from your Drive template, follow-up email in Gmail draft, kickoff event on Calendar, intake row in your tracker.
Litigation
Demand letter draft
Pull facts from intake notes and prior correspondence, draft a demand in your firm's voice with the right damages framing, leave a partner-review version in Drive.
Operations
Friday partner brief
Every email plus every calendar event tied to active matters this week, ranked by partner attention needed. Drops in Gmail before your Friday morning coffee.
Intake
Cold lead re-warm
Surface intake leads stuck >14 days, pull the case context, draft a personalized follow-up in your voice. You approve, it sends.
Client comms
Voice update → polished email
Speak a client status update on the road, Skill cleans it into plain-English, on-brand prose, drops in Gmail draft for your one-click send.
Litigation
Hearing prep checklist
Night-before brief: pull docket entries, last 30 days of correspondence on the matter, opposing counsel's prior arguments. Output is a one-page checklist.
Let us help you pick the first one.
