PLAYBOOKS · STANDALONE DEEP-DIVES · BY MARC KLEINMANN
Playbooks.
Standalone deep-dives on Claude workflows. Eight sections each — context, architecture, setup, decision points, runbook, gotchas, what's next. Operator altitude. Free.
00Getting Started
How to get started with Claude.
An hour from install to your first shipped output. The mental model, the setup, the decisions that matter, and the mistakes most operators make in their first month with Claude.
01Prompting
How to prompt.
The single lever with the most leverage on output quality. The four parts of a good prompt, the two calls you make on every one, and the before-and-after that shows the whole difference.
02Project Setup
Cowork project setup.
Folder layout, instructions as the standing brief, and the knowledge Claude reads on its own. Set the project up once so Claude shows up already knowing the work, every session.
03Writing Skills
Writing your first skill.
Start with the prompt, not the file. The five steps every skill follows, a blank SKILL.md skeleton, and the real weekly client-update skill I run, filled in.
04Scheduling
Schedule your skill.
Take a skill you already run by hand and put it on a schedule, so it runs without you. The three parts, the one guardrail, and the morning briefing I run at 4:45, filled in.
05Meeting Follow-Through
Meeting follow-through, handled.
A recorded meeting writes its own CRM update, Slack recap, and drafted email, while you approve. The four parts, the one guardrail, and the recap template it all renders from.
06Capture Without Typing
Capture without typing.
An idea you dictate at a red light files itself, sorts itself, and is waiting as a list when you sit down. Three parts, one rule, and the routine brief the whole thing turns on.
07The AI Answer Check
The AI answer check.
AI assistants are answering questions about your business, and nobody checks whether they are right. Ten questions, four checks, a printable scorecard, and a skill that runs the whole thing monthly.
