Have your first real conversation
Open Claude.ai or your Terminal. Paste your first work prompt. See what comes back. Iterate on the result 2-3 times to feel the rhythm.
Phase 2 — Days 4-7
Configure Your Workspace
4
Set up your CLAUDE.md
Create a project instruction file so Claude understands your business context, tone, and preferences every session. This is your project's brain.
5
Write your SOUL.md
Define your personal working style, communication preferences, and how you want Claude to behave across all projects. Your persistent identity file.
6
Create your first Claude Project
Set up a Claude Project with custom instructions for one specific workflow — email, proposals, content, whatever you do most.
7

Save 5-10 prompts you'll reuse. Store them in a file Claude can reference. This becomes your personal AI operating system.

Use Claude Code for real tasks
Move beyond hello-world. Edit files, run scripts, build automations, manage your codebase — all from Terminal in plain English.
Phase 4 — Days 21-30
Optimize & Scale
13
Audit your prompt quality
Review your most-used prompts. Apply the CRAFT framework — Context, Role, Action, Format, Tone. Tighten what's loose, cut what doesn't work.
14
Train your team
Share your CLAUDE.md, prompt library, and top 3 workflows with one other person. AI scales when more than one person uses it.
15
Plan your next 30 days
Identify 3 new workflows to Claude-ify. You're operational now. The question isn't whether to use AI — it's what to automate next.
