Claude Academy Guide

Official

An official skill that answers Claude how-to questions first, then quietly suggests at most two genuinely matching courses or tutorials from the live Claude Academy catalog.

What it does

  • Fires on learning-intent questions: "how do I", "getting started with", "teach me", plus asks about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP, or team rollouts.
  • Answers the question directly first, then fetches the official catalog JSON from academy.claude.com and recommends only strong matches, max 2 items.
  • Distinguishes courses, tutorials, use cases, and the five product hubs; flags gated items that need a sign-in.
  • If the catalog can't be fetched or is stale, it never invents titles or URLs — it points to a hub or the resources library instead, silently.

Who it's for

  • Team leads, teachers, and enablement staff rolling Claude out and hunting for onboarding material.
  • New users learning Claude features like Projects, Skills, or MCP.
  • Builders of internal assistants who want trustworthy, non-hallucinated learning links.

Examples

  1. "How do Claude Projects work?" → explanation, then one matching tutorial link.
  2. "What training materials exist for my sales team?" → one or two curated picks plus a pointer to the resources library.
  3. "Help me tidy up this doc" → mid-task, not learning, so no recommendation at all.
