Most AI guides sell you a dream. This one sells you a working setup.

By the end of an afternoon, Claude will be installed on your machine, you'll have shipped your first project, and you'll know exactly what to do next. No theory. No "monetization frameworks." No promise of $10k a month.

Just the actual setup, taught by someone who uses Claude every day to ship real apps (Top 50 on App Store in 37 countries).

What's inside (13 pages):

Chapter 1 — Wait, what is Claude actually? (the three Claudes, untangled) Chapter 2 — What you need (and what you don't) before installing anything Chapter 3 — Install Claude Code in 10 minutes Chapter 4 — Your first conversation with an AI agent that touches your computer Chapter 5 — CLAUDE.md — the file that gives Claude memory of your project Chapter 6 — Build and ship your first real project today Chapter 7 — Slash commands and Skills (the productivity unlocks) Chapter 8 — Scheduled agents — Claude that runs without you Chapter 9 — MCPs in plain English (and which 3 to install on day one) Chapter 10 — 5 mistakes that waste your first weekend Chapter 11 — What to build next, plus where to learn more.

Who this is for: people who've heard about Claude and want to actually use it. You can open a terminal, even if you've never lived in one.

Who this isn't for: people looking for a get-rich-quick playbook.
