Core curriculum

Your first real conversation with Claude. Adjust the mirrors, find the controls, take it around the block. The on-ramp to the rest of the program.

Your business idea becomes a real identity document. Name, mission, customer, tone, the refuse list. The spine every future session paste-loads as context.

Three SKILL.md files. A marketing agent, a customer service agent, and a strategy agent. Your business gets its first three employees.

The system that preserves everything. One document any new Claude can read to pick up exactly where you left off. The spine of the v1 architecture.

Your expertise becomes Claude's knowledge. A structured interview pulls your rules of thumb, common mistakes, insider knowledge, vocabulary, and case examples into a document Claude can reference forever.

The Heart document. The constitution that governs your whole AI system: always-dos, never-dos, voice rules, decision-rights, recovery. The piece that keeps your agents from drifting.

Stop telling Claude what to do. Start asking what it would do. Build a Strategy Agent dedicated to thinking with you, not for you.

Theory meets reality. Use the full v1 stack to produce something you can ship. A landing page, an SOP, a client artifact, your call. The deliverable leaves your computer this session.

Every error is a system upgrade waiting to happen. The pattern for tracing errors back to the source file, patching the system not the moment, and adding audits when patterns recur.

The system that watches the system. An auditor agent for high-stakes outputs, a 5-minute end-of-session checklist, a 30-minute weekly review. Light-touch by design.

Graduation day. A second real deliverable to prove Session 7 was not a fluke, and a 30-day growth plan to take what you built into the world.
