Claude Code isn't just for developers...
How to build shareable AI skills, plus automate form-filling with your browser (3-min read time)
What you'll learn: How to build reusable AI "skills" your entire team can use and turn Claude Code into your secret weapon for non-coding tasks.
Most teams use AI coding tools like Claude Code for... coding. Hi Nghiem, founder of AGI Ventures Canada, saw a bigger opportunity. His company writes 90% of their code with AI, but they also use Claude Code to qualify leads, draft follow-ups, and fill out award applications automatically.
In this episode, Hi walks through exactly how to:
Build shareable AI "skills" that make your AI smarter with every project (step-by-step)
Use Claude Code for business operations, not just development
Set up systems that work for non-technical team members, not just engineers
Hi shows you the actual skills his team built, how they structure them for reuse, and the specific automations that save them hours every week.
If you've ever wished you could delegate repetitive tasks but didn't know where to start, this episode gives you the exact blueprint.
Tools mentioned in this episode
Claude Code — An AI agent that runs on your computer and can automate tasks, not just write code
Skills (in Claude) — Text files that teach Claude how to do specific tasks (like writing emails your way)
MCP connectors — Bridges that let AI tools talk to other apps, like Notion or your browser
Notion — A workspace app used here as a simple CRM to store customer and deal information
Discord — Chat platform where AGI Ventures runs their community bot
Claude Chrome extension — A browser add-on that lets Claude Code control your Chrome browser
Episode TL;DR
Build "skills" — simple text files that capture how your best people work. When one person improves a skill, the whole team benefits instantly
Connect Claude Code to your browser to automate form-filling. Hi completed a 15-minute award application hands-free
Use Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions* to run tasks without constant check-ins. Hi's agent researched a prospect, wrote a follow-up email, and drafted a proposal while he stepped away
* --dangerously-skip-permissions is a flag you add when starting Claude Code that tells it to run tasks without stopping to ask for your approval at each step.
What's a skill?
A skill is a text file that teaches Claude how to do a specific task — like writing follow-up emails in your company's voice. Unlike prompts that stay in your context window the whole time, skills are loaded only when needed, then forgotten.
How to build one:
Pick a task your best performer does well (writing emails, qualifying leads, etc.)
Ask Claude to watch examples of that work and identify patterns
Have Claude generate a skill file with those best practices
Save it to a shared folder so your whole team's Claude can access it
When anyone improves the skill, everyone's AI gets smarter automatically
Why this matters:
Skills don't clog up Claude's memory — it learns, does the task, then clears the knowledge
Your team's AI stays consistent without manual training
Tutorial 2: Automate online forms with Claude Code
Note: This is more technical. Best if you're comfortable with your terminal or can pair with someone who is.
You'll need: Claude Code installed, Claude Chrome extension, a "skill" file with your personal info (work history, accomplishments, etc.)
The workflow:
Create a skill file with information you'd normally type into forms (your bio, accomplishments, company details)
Open Claude Code in your terminal with: “claude --dangerously-skip-permissions”
Turn on the Chrome feature by typing "chrome" when prompted
Tell Claude: "Help me apply to [specific form/application] using my info skill"
Walk away — Claude opens Chrome, navigates the form, and fills in fields automatically
Return to review and submit (you'll still need to upload files like resumes manually)
Pro tip: Start with low-stakes forms to build confidence before automating anything important.
When your AI can learn from your best people and act on its own, you stop being the bottleneck.
