Learn

This course teaches you to run, change and build your own work app. Lessons 1 to 7 are your first hour: by the end you have a running app with your role, your goals, your people and your tasks in it, you have changed a module, and you have built a module of your own. Lesson 8 comes after, when you want it.

You learn by doing. Each lesson gives you prompts to type to Claude in the Code tab of the Claude desktop app. Claude does the work, explains what it changed, and you check the result in your browser. You never type a command.

How a lesson works

Every lesson has the same parts, so you always know where you are:

Part	What it gives you
Goal	What you can do at the end, in one line
Why it matters	Why this step is worth your time
Steps	What to do, with prompts you can copy
What you see	What should appear on screen
You are done when	A short checklist to tick before you move on
What changed on disk	The files Claude wrote, so you learn where things live

Copy the prompts as they are the first time. Once you see how they work, change the words to fit your own job.

The path

You move along four stages. The first hour takes you through two of them.

Stage	What you can do	When
Artifact maker	Make small things with Claude in chat: a table, a summary, a draft	Where you start
Runner	Start your app, find your way around, change wording and data by asking Claude	First hour, lessons 1 to 5
Modifier	Change the modules you have, and take a change back	First hour, lessons 6 and 7
Module builder	Design a new module for your own work and have Claude build it on a block	After the first hour, at your own pace

Lesson 7 gives you a first taste of module building with a guided example, Accounts. Becoming a module builder is what you teach yourself afterwards; What next shows the way.

Sam's first hour

Sam is a customer success manager at Brightlane, a software company, and new in the role. Their hour looks like this:

Sam copies the setup prompt from Get Code on starta.dev/create and pastes it into the Code tab. Claude makes the work app and opens it in the browser.
Claude interviews Sam about the role and fills in About.
Sam adds five goals, such as renewals closed and net revenue retention, each with a start value, a target and a target date.
Sam adds Maya Okafor at Tallow & Co and Daniel Reyes at Harbourline Logistics to People.
Sam lists this week's follow-ups in Tasks.
Sam adds a Region column to People, has Claude save a version with git, and takes one change back to see that it works.
Sam builds an Accounts module with the columns they need and adds their real accounts.

Sam leaves with a list of follow-ups to open tomorrow morning.
