A vague prompt leaves Claude Code to decide the details, and its defaults aren't yours. The framework keeps those decisions with you: what you want, where it goes, and how it should behave.
Read ResourceClaude Code weighs everything in a conversation together, including approaches you've already abandoned. When to start a new conversation and what to carry into it.
Read ResourceIn a big task, a wrong guess by Claude Code gets built into the rest before you can catch it. Split the task into focused steps you can verify, then direct Claude Code through each in turn.
Read ResourceProject rules live in a file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. Write your conventions and decisions there, and you stop repeating them in each new conversation.
Read ResourceIf you accept whatever Claude Code writes, you ship code faster than you understand it. Ask it why it made each choice and what the tradeoffs are, and you learn as you build.
Read ResourceClaude Code's first result is a starting point. Turning it into something solid takes a loop: read what it built, ask for specific changes, and try a different approach when refining stops helping.
Read ResourceThe course doesn't teach the terminal from scratch, so this guide does. It shows you how to tell whether you already know enough, which commands matter, and what to do when one doesn't work.
Read ResourceGit is how the course moves a project onto your machine and keeps a record of what changed. It's free, and this guide covers only the small part of it the course uses.
Read ResourceThe course has you copy a project down to your machine to work on, so you'll need an account with a version control host and one repository in it. We use GitHub because it's the most widely known, but any host works. It's free.
Read ResourceClaude Code runs on a paid Claude plan, and the free plan doesn't include it. The plan is a separate cost from the course, and you don't need one to watch the lessons, only to build alongside them. The cheapest plan that includes Claude Code is enough to start. This guide shows you how to check whether you already have one, and what to watch for once Claude Code is using it.
