New to Claude Code? Start here:
- GETTING-STARTED.md - Installation guide for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- FAQ.md - Common questions answered
- GLOSSARY.md - Terms and definitions
- Pick a recipe from Tier 1 below (the universal high-frequency wins)
Don't read sequentially. This is a reference book, not a novel. Instead:
- Start with a task you're facing today — Scan the table of contents for something relevant
- Try one recipe completely — Follow all the steps, including the refinement prompts
- Customize as you go — The prompts are templates; adapt them to your situation
- Build from there — Once you've mastered one recipe, explore related ones
| Level | What It Means | Typical User |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Simple inputs, straightforward prompts, quick results | Anyone, even first-time Claude Code users |
| Intermediate | Multiple inputs, some iteration needed, judgment required | Comfortable with Claude Code basics |
| Advanced | Complex inputs, multiple steps, significant customization | Regular Claude Code users, domain expertise helpful |
Each recipe shows:
- Setup Time — How long the first use takes (includes learning the workflow)
- Time Saved — Hours saved compared to doing the task manually
These are realistic estimates for typical professional work. Your actual times may vary based on the complexity of your specific task.
- Be specific in your prompts — "Analyze Q3 sales focusing on regional trends" beats "Analyze sales"
- Provide context — Tell Claude your role, your audience, and what "good" looks like
- Iterate — Treat first outputs as drafts; ask for revisions and refinements
- Review everything — AI output needs human judgment before use in professional contexts
Every recipe follows a consistent structure:
| Section | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| The Problem | What pain point this recipe solves |
| The Outcome | What you'll have when done |
| When to Use | Good fit vs. not a good fit scenarios |
| Prerequisites | What you need before starting |
| How Claude Helps | What Claude does well vs. where you add judgment |
| Step-by-Step | Detailed walkthrough with prompts |
| Example Output | What good results look like |
| Troubleshooting | Common issues and solutions |
| Variations | Alternative approaches for different needs |
