Claude

Here you'll find my guides to working with Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, from a practical, hands-on angle. The focus is on what you can actually do with these tools, so I stick to real workflows: getting useful output, wiring Claude into the work you already do, and turning it into something that saves you time. A big part of that is Claude Code, and I show you how to use it as an automation tool rather than just a chat window. You'll see how it can read a project, run commands, edit files, and carry out multi-step tasks on your behalf, so it feels less like a chatbot and more like a capable assistant you can hand real work to. Along the way I share the prompting techniques that make a difference, the patterns for integrating Claude through its API, and the guardrails that keep an AI helper reliable.
