AI skill cards
An AI skill card is a packaged folder of instructions, reference files and sometimes small scripts that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well.
Some assistants, such as Claude, support skills directly. You add the card once, and the assistant loads it when a task calls for it: the instructions are there when they are relevant and out of the way when they are not. In an assistant without skills, you can attach the card’s files to a chat and get much of the same effect.
You own the files. A card is plain files you can open, read, change and keep. Nothing is hidden inside, and nothing stops working if you change plans.
Get the card as a .zip file from the shop. Keep a copy; the files are yours.
In Claude, open Customize, then Skills. Click “+”, then “+ Create skill”, then “Upload a skill”, and upload the card’s .zip file (the skill folder, zipped). The skill appears in your list, where you can switch it on or off. In an assistant without skills, unzip the card and attach its files to a chat.
Say what you need the way you would ask a colleague, for example “Write a 15-question quiz on this chapter.” When the task matches the card, the card loads.
Read what comes back before you use it. A card makes the assistant more consistent; it does not make it infallible, and you stay responsible for what you use.
Plans and settings. Skills work on Claude’s Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, and they need code execution turned on. On Free, Pro and Max, turn on “Code execution and file creation” under Settings, then Capabilities. On Team and Enterprise, an owner enables it in Organization settings, then Plugins & skills (the Policy tab), and owners can turn off skills that members create. Menus can move; check Claude’s help pages if these steps change.
A card can carry the know-how of almost any field. Here is what one can do in fifteen of them, and one thing to mind in each. In every field, the person using the card stays responsible for the work.
A card canCompare clauses against your playbook, turn discovery documents into a timeline, and check a draft against your firm’s style and checklist.
Mind thisVerify every citation and authority yourself, and keep privileged client information out of any tool your firm has not approved.
A card canTurn guidelines into plain-language patient handouts, structure notes to your template, and build practice questions for exams.
Mind thisNot for diagnosis or treatment decisions. Keep patient data out of unapproved tools, and have a clinician review anything a patient will read.
A card canMap transactions to your chart of accounts, explain variances in plain language, and run your month-end checklist.
Mind thisCheck every figure against the source records. The card follows your rules; it does not replace a qualified accountant’s sign-off.
A card canDraft lessons, quizzes and rubrics in one consistent format, like the Lesson Builder cards, and adapt a reading for different levels.
Mind thisReview every question and answer key before learners see it, and keep student records and personal details out.
A card canWrite design briefs, check work against brand rules, and produce alt text and spec sheets.
Mind thisTaste and final calls stay with the designer. Make sure any generated image is cleared for the use you have in mind.
A card canWrite up calculations to your template, review a specification against a checklist, and summarize standards you supply.
Mind thisAnything that affects safety must be checked by a qualified engineer. A card never signs off on a design.
A card canApply your team’s review checklist, write tests, and document code in the house style.
Mind thisRun and review all code yourself. Never paste passwords, keys or private data, and check the licence of anything it suggests.
A card canKeep copy in your brand voice, draft campaign variations, and turn one product brief into posts for each channel.
Mind thisCheck every claim and follow advertising rules. Never publish invented reviews, testimonials or statistics.
A card canStructure reading notes, pull methods and findings into a table, and draft a methods section from your protocol.
Mind thisRead the sources yourself. AI can misquote papers or invent citations, so verify every reference.
A card canBuild job checklists, draft quotes and scopes from your own price list, and turn site notes into clear client updates.
Mind thisBuilding codes, permits and safety rules come from the official sources and your inspector, not from a card.
A card canDraft grant narratives from your program data, write donor thank-you letters, and prepare board reports.
Mind thisKeep donor and client information private, and check every number and every funder requirement.
A card canWrite training plans in your format, build drill libraries, and keep session notes for athletes.
Mind thisA plan is not medical advice. Adjust for injury and health, and bring in a qualified professional when it matters.
A card canEdit to a style guide, prepare interview questions and summaries, and run a fact-check list before publishing.
Mind thisKeep your own voice, verify every quote and fact, and disclose AI use where your publication requires it.
A card canDraft listing descriptions from your notes, prepare buyer and seller FAQs, and organize transaction checklists.
Mind thisFollow fair-housing rules in every listing, confirm measurements and facts, and leave contracts to qualified professionals.
A card canStandardize recipes and prep lists, draft replies to guests, and build training guides for new staff.
Mind thisAllergen and food-safety information must be checked by a person against the real recipe and local rules.
The INTRO CARD at lundr.tech is free. Add it to your AI and it explains, inside your own assistant, what a skill card is and how to use one.
Six Lund Studio skill cards, from THE LESSON CARD to THE ACCESS CARD, draft each part of a lesson in the EducationAI format. Your educators review and decide.
The Lesson Builder
The structure that makes The Point work is yours to use. Goals, a video lesson with an original picture, pause-and-answer questions, reflection and relationships prompts, Sit, Do, Check, Carry and a quiz.

Checks a lesson for captions, transcripts, plain language, reading order and contrast before it reaches learners.
Educational prompt packs
Each pack is a set of plain-text prompts with notes for faculty: how to use it, how to adapt it, and where its limits are. They are written to work with the general-purpose AI assistant your institution already approves.
PACK 01
You are a Socratic tutor for our seminar on [text]. Do not give me your view. Ask one question at a time that makes me clarify, test or defend my reading, and wait for my answer before you ask the next.
PACK 02
Ask me three questions about what I did this week that mattered to me. After each answer, reflect back one thing you noticed in my words. No advice unless I ask for it.
PACK 03
From the reading below, write ten multiple-choice questions at the application level. Give each three plausible wrong answers, mark the correct one, and explain in one sentence why it is right.
PACK 04
Act as the discussion lead for the case below. Open with the decision the protagonist faces, ask me to take a position, and make me defend it with two facts from the case.
PACK 05
Here are my rubric and my draft. For each criterion, quote one sentence from my draft, say how it meets or misses the criterion, and suggest one revision I could make myself. Do not rewrite my paragraphs.
PACK 06
Rewrite this handout in plain language. Keep every fact. Use short headings and short sentences, and put a five-line summary at the top.
PACK 07
I will describe my design and what I was trying to do. First describe back what you understand. Then name one thing that works, one open question, and one experiment I could run next.
PACK 08
Help me with this problem without solving it. Give me the smallest hint that could get me unstuck, then ask what I would try next. If I am still stuck after three hints, tell me to bring it to office hours.
PACK 09
I want to practice, not get answers. Give me a problem like the one below with different numbers. Let me solve it, then check only my method and tell me where my reasoning slipped.
PACK 10
Here is the feedback I wrote for a classmate. Tell me whether each comment is specific, kind and actionable, and help me rewrite any that are not.
PACK 11
Ask me about three moments when I lost track of time doing something. Then help me name what those moments have in common, without suggesting a job title yet.
PACK 12
Write three discussion openers on this week’s reading: one that asks for a personal connection, one that invites students to disagree with the author, and one that applies the idea to a problem in the world today.
PACK 13
I am starting my capstone. Ask me questions until we can write a one-sentence project question, a list of what is in and out of scope, and three milestones with dates.
PACK 14
Turn these lecture notes into a one-page study guide: the five key ideas, one example for each, and three questions I should be able to answer before the exam.
PACK 15
Explain the key terms in this paragraph in simple English, give each one in [my language], then ask me to use two of them in sentences of my own.
