What You'll Learn

Understand what Claude Code actually is (hint: not for developers)

Install Claude Code on your computer in under 2 minutes

Complete your first real delegation task

Shift from 'assistance' thinking to 'delegation' thinking

Quick Start

💡

Don't just read these commands — actually run them. The mental shift happens when you experience it firsthand.

Install Claude Code

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Start a session

claude

Navigate to a folder

cd ~/Downloads

Your first delegation

"Organize this folder by file type"

Hands-On Exercise

Complete Your First Delegation

Right now, open your terminal and try this exact sequence. Watch as Claude Code:

•Scans your Downloads folder
•Creates subfolders (PDFs, Images, Documents, etc.)
•Moves files into the right places
•Reports back what it did

This is delegation. You stated a goal. Claude Code delivered a result.

The Key Insight

The shift is from assistance to delegation.

Old Way

"Help me write interview questions"

New Way

"Generate 15 interview questions based on this guest's bio. Save to /Prep/[Name].md"

One gives you suggestions. The other gives you deliverables.

💡

This isn't about Claude being "smarter." It's about you thinking differently. When you delegate instead of ask, you get outcomes instead of options. That's the mental model shift.
