For Claude Pro & Max users
Modal reads what you save — the videos, the PDFs, the long articles — and turns them into Claude skills that show up the next time you're working on something they know about.
How it works · three acts
Most people read a great article and forget it by Tuesday. The wedge isn't more reading — it's getting what you read to apply during real work. Three things happen.
YouTube video. PDF. Long article. Modal ingests it the way you would have, if you'd had the time. Glasses on. Down to read.
Two artifacts come out: SKILL.md — the trigger, the steps, the eval — and DESIGN.md — the spec it's built from. Below 0.70 he refuses. That's the moral position.
Days later, you're in the actual work. Modal sees the trigger fire, runs the skill, and notes that you used it. The bit that helps with the application of what you learned.

Built for Claude Pro & Max
Bring your own Anthropic key. Install the skill plugin in Claude Code. Modal reads along, makes things, refuses below 0.70, and notes when you actually used what he made. That's the whole product.
v1 wedge: DESIGN.md from any source. v2: full SKILL.md with eval gate.
