Beginner Resources

A collection of guides and tips for getting started with Claude Code — from writing better prompts to shipping your first project.

Context Engineering

1. Treat Context as a Limited Resource

More context isn't always better. Learn to trim aggressively and keep the signal high.

2. Put the Most Important Information Where It Counts

Models pay closer attention to the beginning and end — place critical instructions accordingly.

3. Be Explicit About the Task and Format

State your goal, audience, tone, and output format directly. Clarity in, clarity out.

4. Use Examples to Show, Not Just Tell

A few labeled examples (few-shot) often outperform a long written description.

5. Iterate and Inspect

When something goes wrong, look at exactly what the model saw — not what you intended it to see.

Shipping Your Work

Deploy a Static Site with gh and GitHub Pages

Go from a folder of HTML files to a live public URL using the GitHub CLI — no web interface needed.


You're not programming the AI — you're briefing a smart collaborator who only knows what you put in front of them. Give them the right materials, in the right order, with the right framing.
