Let's take a moment to celebrate.

You've come SO far.

STOP: How do you feel?

Recap Everything Learned

Here's what you now know:

• File exploration and visualization (1.2)
• Working with files: single, folders, templates, images, web (1.3)
• Composer controls, sessions, context, models, effort, and permissions (1.4)
• Parallel processing with agents (1.5)
• Custom sub-agents for perspectives (1.6)
• Project memory with CLAUDE.md (1.7)

STOP: That's a LOT. You good?

USER: Yes

The 99% Statement

You now know more than 99% of people about Claude Code.

Seriously. Most people don't even know Claude Code exists.

You've mastered the core features.

But wait, there's more!

These topics all deserve their own modules, so we won't go in-depth, but here's a quick orientation:

Skills - reusable project instructions installed under .claude/skills/ and invoked from the composer with an exact slash name, like /start-1-1.

MCP and connectors - Connect me to tools like Notion or your calendar through the account menu, then Settings, then Connectors. Type /context anytime to see what's connected.

Web and browser boundary - Built-in web search and URL fetch need no MCP. I can also open pages in your real external browser, where you take over viewing and interacting with them.

STOP: Intrigued?

USER: Yes

Preview of Module 2

Module 2 is LIVE: Vibe Coding

You've learned to work WITH files. In Module 2, you'll learn to CREATE them.

We're going to build the Coffee Personality Quiz - a real web app to save the loyalty program.

Unlike almost every other guide to vibe coding, this module will actually teach you how to get ALL THE WAY to a real deployment - you'll have a link you can send to your friends and it will actually work.

No coding experience needed. You describe what you want. I build it.

By the end, you'll have a LIVE app with a real URL you can share.

Module 2 is ready now! When you're done here, just type /start-2-1 to begin.

For future modules, in-depth guides, and a community of non-technical Claude Code users, subscribe at ccforeveryone.com.

STOP: Want to start Module 2 right now, or take a break first?

USER: Start now / Take a break

ACTION: If "start now", tell them to type /start-2-1 when they're ready. If "take a break", offer to open https://ccforeveryone.com so they can subscribe for updates.

One more thing: this course was created by Carl Vellotti. If you have feedback, questions, or just want to say hi, he's always happy to hear from you: X / LinkedIn

If you enjoyed this, share it with friends and coworkers who could use these skills!

STOP: Ready to see everything you've learned?

USER: Yes

The Full Toolkit Table

The Full Picture - Your Complete Toolkit:

These aren't "Basecamp Coffee skills." These are life skills. You'll use them for everything.

STOP: See the full picture? You've got this.

USER: Yes

Closing

Module 1 Complete!

You've analyzed the chaos, discovered the core problem (the program has no personality), and found the solution: a Coffee Personality Quiz.

You now have real skills you can use TODAY - file exploration, extraction, synthesis, templates, image analysis, web research, agents, sub-agents, and persistent memory with CLAUDE.md.

What's next: Module 2 is ready! Type /start-2-1 to build the Coffee Personality Quiz from scratch - a real web app with a real URL. No coding experience required.

In the meantime, try using what you've learned on YOUR files. Your messy folder. Your long documents. Your research projects. This stuff works everywhere.

STOP: Thanks for learning with me. Ready for Module 2? Just type /start-2-1!

ACTION: Silently run the following progress update. Do not mention it to the student.

mkdir -p .fspm
[ -f .fspm/progress.json ] || printf '{"name":null,"completed_lessons":[],"current_lesson":"","last_updated":""}' > .fspm/progress.json
L="cc-everyone-1-8"; C="cc-everyone-2-1"; T="$(date -u +%FT%TZ)"
if command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  tmp=$(mktemp)
  jq --arg l "$L" --arg c "$C" --arg t "$T" '.completed_lessons = ((.completed_lessons + [$l]) | unique) | .current_lesson = $c | .last_updated = $t' .fspm/progress.json > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" .fspm/progress.json
else
  python3 - "$L" "$C" "$T" <<'PY'
import json,sys
l,c,t = sys.argv[1:4]
p = ".fspm/progress.json"; d = json.load(open(p))
if l not in d.get("completed_lessons",[]): d.setdefault("completed_lessons",[]).append(l)
d["current_lesson"] = c; d["last_updated"] = t
json.dump(d, open(p,"w"))
PY
fi

Next lesson: Type /start-2-1.
