How it works
- Short lessons. Each lesson is a handful of steps you can finish in one sitting, with the exact words to copy and paste.
- Follow the steps. Each step shows what you should see. If you see something else, the fix is right under it. Check it off and the next step opens.
- Keep the card. Every lesson has a one-page card with the prompts and the main points, so you don't have to go through it all again.

Why I made this
It came out of 18 months of using Claude every day, for real work. Not a demo, not a weekend. Quotes, paperwork, a website, the stuff that eats your nights.

This tool is meant for us. We know how to wonder, how to problem solve. We figured out a VCR with no manual and a dial-up modem with no help line. This is the same thing, with better graphics.
My goal isn't to make you an expert. It's to show you you can do this, faster than you think you could.

How to copy a screenshot to the clipboard on a Mac and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude
What would my business sound like as a late-night infomercial?
The trick you'll use every day
The trick you'll use every day with AI: showing it what's on your screen. Pick the step that fits where you are today.
1. Using the Claude app or website
On a Mac, hold Cmd, Ctrl and Shift, then press 4. Drag a box around what you want Claude to see. Nothing lands on your Desktop: the picture waits on your clipboard, the invisible spot where copied things go.
Click in the Claude chat and press Cmd+V to paste it.
On Windows: hold the Windows key and Shift, then press S. Paste with Ctrl+V.
2. Using Claude Code in Terminal
Take the screenshot the same way. Then click in Terminal and press Ctrl+V, not Cmd+V.
You'll see [Image #1] appear where you type. Not there? Drag the picture into the Terminal window instead.
3. Ready to build your own?
Make one key do all of it: take the picture, paste it into Claude, press Enter and delete it afterward. You build it with Claude, one step at a time. It's the first thing we build in the Set up Claude Code section.

Take your time. Pick up where you left off.
