Free · 5-day email course

Your first week with
Claude Code.

Five short emails. Each one hands you a working piece of configuration you paste in and run that day. By Day 3 you have a setup you actually built — not notes about one.

Confirm your email and Day 1 arrives immediately. One-click unsubscribe on every email.

Now check your inbox.

We sent a confirmation link to your address — click it and Day 1 lands right away. (If it is not there in a few minutes, look in spam. It comes from [email protected].)

While you wait, here is a free guide you can read right now: The 5 Claude Code mistakes costing you hours →

What lands, and when

Day 1
Install it, then stop clicking “yes”
Get Claude Code running in your actual repo, run /init, and set a permission allowlist so you are not approving the same three commands forty times an hour.
Day 2
Write a CLAUDE.md that earns its tokens
A copy-pasteable CLAUDE.md skeleton — build and test commands, conventions, the gotchas that bite. What belongs in it, and what quietly wastes context on every single turn.
Day 3
Make it stop repeating the same mistake
The memory discipline: when the model makes the same error twice, that is a missing line in your config, not a model problem. Plus /clear vs /compact context hygiene.
Day 4
Automate the boring parts
A real working auto-format hook, a real custom slash command, and a real skill — three files you paste in and use the same day. Actual formats, not pseudo-code.
Day 5
Routing, subagents, and headless runs
Cheap models for grunt work, subagents that keep your main context clean, and claude -p for scripting Claude Code into pipelines you already run.

Who this is for

  • You have installed an AI coding agent, or you are about to, and you want it set up properly the first time.
  • You are comfortable in a terminal and a config file. Nothing here is beginner filler.
  • You would rather paste in a working config than read another thinkpiece about agents.

Who it is not for

  • Anyone looking for a shortcut to not learning their own codebase. This makes a good engineer faster. It does not replace one.
  • Anyone who wants a tool that works with zero configuration. That tool does not exist yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
