Build Your Dapr Skill

Before learning Dapr—building distributed microservices with sidecar architecture—you'll own a Dapr skill.

Step 1: Get the Skills Lab​

  1. Go to github.com/panaversity/claude-code-skills-lab
  2. Click the green Code button
  3. Select Download ZIP
  4. Extract the ZIP file
  5. Open the extracted folder in your terminal
cd claude-code-skills-lab
claude

Step 2: Create Your Skill​

Copy and paste this prompt:

Using your skill creator skill create a new skill for Dapr (Distributed Application
Runtime). I will use it to build distributed microservices from hello world to
professional production systems. Use context7 skill to study official documentation
and then build it so no self assumed knowledge.

Claude will:

  1. Fetch official Dapr documentation via Context7
  2. Ask you clarifying questions (building blocks, state stores, pub/sub backends)
  3. Create the complete skill with references and templates

Your skill appears at .claude/skills/dapr-deployment/.

Done​

You now own a Dapr skill built from official documentation. The rest of this chapter teaches you what it knows—and how to make it better.
