Have a look inside
Three lines lifted straight out of the guide, so you know the voice before you buy.
“A connector is a key on a keyring. Claude can only open the doors you hand it a key for.”
Page 4 · The toolbox
“Write your never-list before you are excited. Excitement is a terrible editor.”
Page 6 · The guardrails
“Eight dashboard versions. The eighth was good. The first seven were tuition.”
Page 7 · The bloopers
What you actually get
A tour in everyday words
Connectors, skills, helpers, dashboards and scheduled tasks — what each one is and when it earns its keep.
The rules that keep you safe
The never-list, and a green-amber-red charter so nothing spends, posts or emails without your say-so.
Your first thirty minutes
A minute-by-minute start plan, ten tips to copy, and four prompts you can paste as they are.
NEXT FROM FORK INSTINCT
That Gut Feeling We All Get
A guide to noticing your instincts and thinking them through — the quiet signal you get before the reasons arrive, and what to do about it. It is about intuition and everyday decisions, not gut health.
In progress. Buy the Claude guide and you will hear when it lands.
Questions, answered
Who is this for?
Clever people who are not tech people, and who have simply not gotten around to trying AI yet. If you have ever briefed a contractor badly and lived with the results, you already understand the core skill.
What exactly do I receive?
One PDF, eight pages, downloadable the moment you pay. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, and keep it forever. Nothing is shipped and there is no subscription.
Is this made by Anthropic?
No. It is independent and unofficial, and not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. Claude changes quickly, so check the official documentation for anything that really matters.
Do I need a Claude subscription to use it?
No. The guide explains what the tools are and how one person used them. Some features described need a paid plan on Anthropic's side, and the guide says so where it applies.
