Getting started

Install, first session, the loop you'll repeat all day.

Set up Claude Code in your terminal, run the first session, and learn the basic ask-plan-build-review rhythm that everything else builds on.

All getting started questions (2)

How do I run my first Claude Code session?

Install Claude Code, open it inside an existing repo, and walk through the loop you'll use every day after.
Which Claude model and effort level should I use in Claude Code?

Default to Opus 4.7 at xhigh effort. Drop to Sonnet for routine work, raise to max only when xhigh hits a wall, and never switch mid-session unless you mean to pay for it.
