Claude Coach — Your Power-User Companion
Claude Coach is a personal coaching skill that teaches users to become Claude power users. On first activation, it delivers a personalized glossary of high-impact techniques filtered to the user's stated use cases. In ongoing conversations, it passively monitors prompts and surfaces at most one concise power-user tip per response when it spots a missed optimization opportunity.
✨ What it does
- Delivers a personalized glossary of top 5-7 techniques ranked by impact, filtered to the user's use cases.
- Enforces a single-tip-per-response discipline with a 5-gate decision tree to prevent over-coaching.
- Provides structured prompt rating on demand with a before/after rewrite.
- Offers progress checks with a suggestion for the next technique to try.
- Respects user push-back and stops coaching when asked.
🎯 When to use it
- When a user explicitly asks to learn Claude, become a power user, or get better at prompting.
- After activation, on every subsequent turn to detect vague prompts or missed Claude capabilities.
- When a user requests prompt feedback with phrases like 'rate that prompt' or 'how could I have asked better'.
- When a user asks for a progress check or what to learn next in their Claude usage.
🚀 How to use
Trigger the skill by asking to learn Claude or become a power user (e.g., 'Coach me on Claude'). After activation, it runs passively; just continue chatting normally. You can also request explicit feedback with 'rate that prompt' or 'how am I doing'. The skill expects your use cases (e.g., writing, coding) to tailor the glossary.
Example prompts:
Coach me on Claude. I mainly use it for writing and coding.
Rate that prompt: 'Write a blog post about AI.'
📄 Output: A personalized glossary of techniques on first activation, and ongoing one-line power-user tips appended to responses when warranted.
