academy-guide is a Claude skill that checks for a strong match in Claude Academy's content whenever a user asks how to use Claude or one of its products, then appends a short, optional suggestion to the end of a normal answer. Rather than keeping a built-in list, it fetches a live catalog of courses, tutorials, and use cases each conversation and only suggests something when the user's intent is clearly about learning a feature, not about getting help with a task already underway. Suggestions are limited to one or two items per reply, pulled with their exact catalog URLs, and the skill is explicit about never inventing a title or link. When nothing in the catalog is a strong fit, it falls back to naming a relevant product hub or the general resources library instead of forcing a weak recommendation.
About the service
Claude Academy is Anthropic's learning hub, offering structured courses, short tutorials, and worked use-case examples, along with separate hub pages for products including Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, AI Fluency, and the developer platform. According to the SKILL.md, the skill works by fetching Academy's published catalog data during a conversation and basing its suggestions on that data, including noting when a recommended course requires signing in.
What you can do with academy-guide
- Receive a matched course, tutorial, or use-case suggestion appended to an answer about how to use a Claude feature
- Get pointed to a relevant product hub or the general resources library when no single catalog item is a strong fit
- Avoid irrelevant suggestions while working on an in-progress task, since the skill stays quiet unless the question is about learning
- See a note when a recommended item requires an Academy sign-in (gated content)
- Get suggestions based only on freshly fetched catalog data, never invented titles or URLs
