New to Claude Code? Start here:

1. GETTING-STARTED.md – Installation guide for Windows, macOS, and Linux
2. FAQ.md – Common questions answered
3. GLOSSARY.md – Terms and definitions
4. 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:

1. Start with a task you’re facing today — Scan the table of contents for something relevant
2. Try one recipe completely — Follow all the steps, including the refinement prompts
3. Customize as you go — The prompts are templates; adapt them to your situation
4. Build from there — Once you’ve mastered one recipe, explore related ones

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.

1. Be specific in your prompts — “Analyze Q3 sales focusing on regional trends” beats “Analyze sales”
2. Provide context — Tell Claude your role, your audience, and what “good” looks like
3. Iterate — Treat first outputs as drafts; ask for revisions and refinements
4. Review everything — AI output needs human judgment before use in professional contexts

Every recipe follows a consistent structure:

The 100 recipes are organized into 10 tiers, progressing from universal daily tasks to specialized professional functions:
