(even if you just signed up yesterday)
✦ Level 1: Claude Chat (Saturday morning)
Go to claude .com/download. Install the app.
Pay the $20. Select Opus 4.6 + Extended Thinking.
Connect Slack, Drive, Notion through Connectors.
Stop writing long prompts. Prompt this instead:
"I want to [TASK] for [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. Use AskUserQuestion before you start."
Most people stay here forever.
You're leaving 90% of Claude untouched.
Claude Basics: how-to-claude.ai.

✦ Level 2: Claude Cowork (Saturday afternoon)
Go to 'Cowork'. Create a folder "Claude-Cowork."
4 subfolders. About me, template, project & outputs
Create about-me .md: what you do, how you do.
Create anti-ai-style .md: words you'd never say.
Set Global Instructions (Settings → Cowork → Edit):
"Always read my files first, never edit my originals, deliver everything to CLAUDE OUTPUTS."
You just killed prompting.
From now on, your prompt is 2 lines + your folder.
Move on to Cowork: claude-co.work

✦ Level 3: Skills + Plugins (Sunday morning)
Open Cowork. Type: "Use the skill-creator to help me build a skill for [your most repeated task]."
Claude interviews you. Answer and be specific.
It generates a SKILL .md. Test it: "When would you use this skill?" If the description is vague, fix it.
Upload: Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload.
Now it fires automatically. No slash command.
Install Plugins: Cowork > Customize > Browse plugin
Skills with about-me .md. Skill handles the process.
Voice file handles tone. Two layers simultaneously.

Turn on "Skip Permissions" to go 100x faster.

This is where you stop working inside Claude.
Claude starts working on your computer.

Saturday, you were prompting like it's ChatGPT.
Sunday, Claude is running your screen, building your website, & sending you text updates.
That's all 4 layers. In one weekend.
