Section 1: Introduction (0-5 min)​

Opening Hook​

"By the end of today, you won't give Claude prompts. You'll give Claude commands that encode your team's workflows."

The Problem​

Traditional AI coding assistants:

  • Start fresh every session
  • Don't know your patterns
  • Require detailed prompts every time

The Solution​

Claude Code:

  • Reads your CLAUDE.md automatically
  • Learns your project context
  • Custom commands encode workflows

Section 2: First Contact Demo (5-15 min)​

Setup​

Open terminal in a real project with CLAUDE.md

Key Points​

  • Claude reads files automatically
  • No need to explain your framework
  • Context from CLAUDE.md informs responses

Transition​

"So how does this work? Let me explain the three pillars."

Section 3: The Three Pillars (15-25 min)​

Walk through the Cheat Sheet:

Pillar 1: CLAUDE.md

"This is the most important file. Claude reads it at the start of every session."

Pillar 2: Commands

"Instead of explaining your workflow every time, define it once."

Pillar 3: Rules

"Rules are always-on constraints."

Section 4: Customization Demo (25-35 min)​

Key Message​

"The difference isn't the prompt. The difference is the context."

Show​

  • Project without good CLAUDE.md (Claude asks questions)
  • Same project with good CLAUDE.md (Claude just works)
  • Creating a custom command live

Section 5: Q&A (35-55 min)​

Common Questions​

"Is it safe?"

"Claude asks permission before destructive actions. You can restrict tools in commands."

"What about sensitive code?"

"Code stays on your machine. Nothing is sent except what's needed for the conversation."

"How do I get the team to adopt?"

"Start with CLAUDE.md. Add it to git. Let the workflow spread naturally."

Closing (55-60 min)​

Three Things to Do After This Session​

  1. Create CLAUDE.md - Even minimal is better than none
  2. Create /commit command - Your first workflow
  3. Share with team - Commit to git

Key Message​

"The best Claude Code setup is invisible. Claude just knows how your team works."
