This two-hour online workshop for members of The Fifty One Percent Club started with the role of humans alongside AI and what AI agents are, then moved on to getting Claude Code running on the desktop in around ten minutes.

Ann explained the three essential elements for using Claude Code, building a CLAUDE.md file with the about me skill, and handovers that take 60 seconds and save an hour. She then covered the six traps every new user falls into and ten tips for getting the best out of Claude Code, before finishing with practical examples and the three levels of using, connecting and building with it.
