Two short guides from the Claude Code setup I actually run, written for people just getting started. Drop your email, confirm it, and both are yours to download.

What it is
Two short PDFs from the Claude Code setup I actually run.
How to use it
Start with the "Start here" page in each one, then pick one skill or one MCP to try this week.
Why it matters
You start with the few tools that really get used, with what each one can touch and what it costs.
Why not
They're my picks for how I work. If something on them doesn't fit yours, skip it.
  • 7 Claude Code skills I actually use

    Counted from my own session logs. For each skill: what it is, how to use it, why it matters, and when to skip it. Other people's skills are linked, never copied.

  • MCP setup cheat sheet

    The MCPs I really call, explained from scratch: what an MCP is, how I connect each one, what it can touch, and when to hold back. Checked against the official docs in October 2026.
