Four shortcuts to the pages people actually open. Skip the homepage browse.

New guides, when they ship

One email, roughly weekly. CLAUDE.md templates, workflows I actually use, and the cut-for-length stuff that does not make the public guides. One-click unsubscribe.

Or follow on Substack

Three steps. That's it.

How it works

No coding bootcamp. No config files you don't understand. Just pick something, set it up, and go make it.

1

Pick something you want

A game, a document, a chart. No coding knowledge needed. Really.

2

Follow the setup

I walk you through picking an interface and getting running. Under 3 minutes.

3

Paste a prompt, watch it go

Plain English. Claude does the rest. You end up with something real.

You don't need to be a developer.
You don't need to understand “prompts.”

If you can describe what you want in plain English, you can use Claude. That's genuinely it.

I built this because I kept explaining the same things to people who'd never touched a terminal. The official docs are solid if you already know the territory. This guide is for everyone who doesn't. I'm a PM who's used AI tools with hundreds of people across different roles. I know where people get stuck. This guide skips those parts.

Pick your first project

What do you want to make?

Pick one. I'll walk you through setup and you'll have something real in under 10 minutes.

General purpose

Not just for coding.
For doing.

Claude builds apps, writes documents, analyzes spreadsheets, and automates the stuff that takes you forever. It works on the web, desktop, terminal, or inside your editor. You pick.
