Who this is for
Who this is for
If you've tried Claude Code and wondered ‘what now?’
Most tutorials stop at install. I show you what to actually build with it: automation bots, content systems, real workflows that save real time.
I'm Michael. I run a business automation service and use Claude Code every day. These tutorials are what I wish existed when I started.

Start with these episodes
Hand-picked from the full series: fundamentals first, then the workflows that keep Claude Code under control.
Fable Workflows: chain briefs into full-stack builds
Split a build into small job briefs, prove each one with green checks, then chain them. How full-stack builds actually finish.
Watch on TikTok →Make Fable prove its work before you open a file
Add a proof block to your job brief — binary pass/fail checks Fable runs and fixes until everything is green.
Watch on TikTok →Fable 5 is back — when to actually use it
The most capable Claude model, and why you shouldn't burn it on small jobs. A beginner rule for choosing models.
Watch on TikTok →Why Claude Code seems to get dumber
It's not the model — it's what fills the context window. How to check it and keep long sessions sharp.
Watch on TikTok →Broke something? Rewind it
The /rewind command and double-escape: roll back changes without panic, then prompt smaller.
Watch on TikTok →The beginner prompt formula
Vague prompts get vague code. The exact structure that gives Claude a clear target — with limits built in.
Watch on TikTok →The 4-point safety checklist for real projects
Deny secrets, ask on risk, demand proof. Run this before letting Claude near code that matters.
Watch on TikTok →The 3 mistakes every beginner makes
Too vague, skipping the plan, never testing. Fix these three and everything else gets easier.
Watch on TikTok →Plan Mode: stop Claude breaking your code
One toggle makes Claude think before it touches anything. Shift+Tab, read the plan, then execute.
Watch on TikTok →Skill files: the most underused feature
One markdown file that teaches Claude a task permanently. Write it once, Claude uses it forever.
Watch on TikTok →CLAUDE.md: make Claude remember your project
Project context Claude reads every session — name, stack, rules. Set it once, stop repeating yourself.
Watch on TikTok →Set up Claude Code from scratch
Install Node, one npm command, sign in, open a project. From zero to your first session in minutes.
Watch on TikTok →Free. New Claude Code tutorials every week.
