In this lesson, you'll learn the four building blocks that make Claude better at your work over time: global instructions, projects, skills, and plugins.
In Lesson 4 you delegated one task and got a real deliverable back. What this module adds is the part that compounds: the more Claude knows about you, your work, and how your team does things, the better the next deliverable is — and the faster you get there.
Four building blocks make that happen. Each one gives Claude something it can carry forward, so the context you supply once keeps paying off.
You're not going to start with all four of these on Day 1. As you work in Cowork more, you'll realize what global instructions make sense to apply to every conversation. You'll start to see your recurring workstreams and what makes sense to have as a project. If you find you're explaining the same workflows to Claude multiple times, those will be the right opportunities for your first skills. And as you and your teams perfect those processes, plugins will come in as you have something worth sharing.
The next three lessons take you through these layers in order. Lesson 6 covers global instructions and projects — the layer most people set up first. Lessons 7 and 8 cover skills and plugins, finishing with a hands-on activity that gets a real plugin installed for your work.
