README

The starter kit from Claude Code for Beginners

**Six files you copy into every new project, plus the prompts from all twelve chapters.**

Companion repository to *Claude Code for Beginners: Zero to Shipping in 48 hours*, from [youcanbuildthings.com](https://youcanbuildthings.com).

In plain English: this is the folder of files the book has you build. You copy them into a new project so Claude Code knows your rules, your colors and your file layout before you type anything. You don't need to know what a CLAUDE.md or an effort level is yet. Pick your line below.

[Read the disclaimer](DISCLAIMER.md) before you use the security checklist or the revenue numbers.

Start here

**"I finished the book and I want the kit in my project."**

git clone https://github.com/regardo911/claude-code-beginners.git
cd claude-code-beginners
./install.sh ~/my-project

On Windows, `.\install.ps1 C:\code\my-project`. Six files land in your project root and it prints what it wrote. Anything you already have is left alone and reported as skipped.

**"I'm partway through and I want one chapter's prompts."** Open `chapters/` and pick the number. Each folder has that chapter's artifacts and a README saying what to run.

**"I haven't read the book and I want to see what this is."** The picture below is the 48-hour arc, and every rung has a folder in here.
