The Claude Field Guides

Short, dense guides to getting real work out of Claude: actual workflows, copy‑paste prompts, honest limits, and the details most people never find. Written for people who use it, by people who use it.

Route 01

New to Claude

Never used it, or only poked at it? One guide gets you oriented and productive, then hands you on. No jargon.

Start here → Route 02

You use it every day

You chat with Claude already. These guides sharpen the core loop: prompting, projects and memory, the context that compounds.

Level up → Route 03

Make it do the work

Stop asking for advice and start delegating whole jobs: connected apps, Cowork and Dispatch, Claude Code and Claude Design.

1 guide

The one guide to read if Claude is new to you. It assumes nothing, wastes nothing, and points you at the right deeper guide for what you want to do.

Getting started with Claude

Not a tour, a running start: one good first hour, the settings that compound, an honest map of everything else, and what Claude gets wrong.

Use Claude better every day

2 guides

The core loop, sharpened. Each of these turns something you already do into something you do noticeably better.

02New

Prompting that actually works

Beyond "be specific": the five-ingredient anatomy, show-don't-describe, format contracts, the interview pattern, and a ten-second diagnosis table for bad answers.

Ready~20 min read
03New

Projects, memory & your workflow

Stop re-explaining yourself: the three context layers, instructions that change behaviour (context-always-never), how knowledge-base retrieval actually thinks, and three blueprints to steal.

Make Claude do the work

5 guides

The shift from asking Claude things to handing Claude jobs. This is where most of the value lives, and where most people never go.

04New

Connectors & MCP

Plug Claude into your email, calendar, files and tools: cross-tool sweep prompts, read-vs-act checkpoints, when MCP is actually worth it, and the prompt-injection defence.

05New

Artifacts, Skills & building things

From answers to assets: files and small working tools Claude builds for you, spotting tool-shaped problems, and Skills — your methods encoded once, triggered automatically, everywhere.

Ready~18 min read
06New

Cowork & Dispatch

Claude working on your actual computer, then orchestrated: parallel child tasks from one phone message, the fan-out pattern, dependent-chain relays, and the pre-flight that keeps it all running.

Ready~20 min read
07New

Claude Code

The deepest guide in the series, with two tracks: one if you write code, one if you don't. Setup, CLAUDE.md, permissions, parallel agents and automation.

Ready~25 min read
08New

Claude Design

Run the studio like an art director: design systems that compound, comment-and-sketch refinement, options as in-file tweaks, working prototypes, and the export route decided before you build.

Ready~18 min read

Put it together

The capstone

The guides teach the parts. This one shows the assembled machine: six named plays that combine them, and the habit that makes the system compound.

09New

The Full Stack

Six plays that combine the other guides — fan-out, relay, warm start, finish line, hand-off, audit — then the combos: shipping an app change from a walk, and pyramids of agents from one message.

Ready~12 min read
No feature tours

Every guide is organised around jobs you're trying to do, not menus. If a fact doesn't change what you'd do, it's not in here.

Copy-paste ready

Prompts, instructions and settings you can lift straight out. Each one is the version we actually use, not a toy example.

Honest about limits

What each feature can't do, stated plainly, so you stop losing hours to things that were never going to work.
