Two more tools to know

Skills: instructions Claude uses automatically when a matching task comes up, like your report format.
Connectors: link Claude to tools like Google Drive, Gmail or Calendar so you stop copy-pasting. Connect only what you need, and follow company policy.

Projects, Skills and Connectors vary by plan and change over time. Check claude.ai for yours.
BOOM.
