Your first steps with Claude Code — gently, hands-on.

Who it's for.
Built for one audience, not everyone at once.
- People comfortable with computers who want to move beyond the chat window.
- Technical-curious PMs, designers, and analysts ready to build, not just prompt.
- First-time builders who want a gentle, guided on-ramp to Claude Code.
- Anyone who has used Claude in the browser and wants the real, agentic version.
What you'll learn.
Specific topics — built with on the day, not lectured at you.
Getting Started
Install Claude Code, sign in, and run your first plan-build-ship agent loop.
Plain-English Prompts
Direct the agent in clear language — plan first, then build, then review.
Files & Folders
Let the agent read and edit your real files safely, with you in control.
First Mini-app
Build and run a small working app before lunch.
Simple Automations
Wire up a repeatable task you'll actually reach for again.
How the day runs.
Four short loops. No lectures.
01 Setup
Tools that just work.
Doors at 09:30. Console accounts checked, Claude Code installed, your scenario chosen by 10:00. No fighting with your environment.
02 Patterns
What the 5% actually do.
Operating manuals, plan-mode loops, skill files, lessons.md. The exact patterns that scaled inside the teams who made it stick.
03 Build
Hands on your real problem.
Half the day is you building, with help when you're stuck and a peer next to you working through the same kind of thing.
04 Ship
Working prototype, working manual.
Demo in the room before we wrap. You leave with both running on your laptop — and a small group you'll keep building with.
What you take home.
Things you can use Monday morning. Not certificates.
01 Operating manual
Your CLAUDE.md, started.
An embarrassingly short manual you can commit to your most important repo before you leave the room. Build, test, hard rules, one ritual.
02 Prompt & skill library
Tested, not theoretical.
Prompts and reusable skills that worked for the scenarios you brought, paired with the ones that didn't and a one-line lesson on each.
03 Hands-on reps
Hours, not minutes.
The day is built around the practice loop. Most of it is you, building, with help when you're stuck and a peer next to you for the same.
04 Peer network
Builders, not strangers.
The cohort is the durable part. You leave with people you'd Slack about a stuck workflow tomorrow, not just a slide deck.
Upcoming cohorts.
Pulled live from Luma. Sign-up and payment go through the event page.
Before you arrive.
Ten minutes the day before. Saves an hour day-of.
01
An Anthropic account
Pro, Team, or Max on console.anthropic.com — signed in before you arrive.
02
Claude Code installed
Follow the steps at code.claude.com and run it once so we can build, not configure.
03
A laptop with admin rights
Mac, Windows, or Linux — you need to be able to install CLI tools.
04
One small idea
A little project or task you'd like to get working during the day.
Questions.
The short answers. Reach out if anything else.
- Do I need coding experience?
- A little comfort with files and folders helps, but no programming background is required. This is the gentle on-ramp to Claude Code.
- How big are the cohorts?
- Capped to keep the room hands-on. Each Luma event page lists the seat count for that cohort — book early when a date matters.
- What's included?
- Coffee, lunch, drinks, and the full materials (operating-manual template, prompt library, skill files). Sign-up and payment go through Luma, so the day's logistics stay simple.
- Where is it?
- Matrikel1, Copenhagen — or a similar venue announced per cohort. In-person only for now; we'll add online cohorts when there's demand.
- Can I cancel?
- Refunds and rescheduling are handled by Luma per their standard terms — check the event page when you book.
Your teachers.
Two people in the room with you, building alongside.
