READING GUIDE

Walk through it · one zone at a time

You don't have to use all nine. Most people live in zones 1 and 2. The rest are there when you need them. Here's a one-line take on each.

①
WALK IN
Chat

Open claude.ai, type a question, get an answer. The universal entry. Most people stay here forever and that is fine.

②
SIT AT A TABLE
Claude Project

A folder for one recurring task. Drop in files. Memory across chats. Like saving a "regular" booth at your favorite spot.

③
THE FILE ON YOU
CLAUDE.md

The profile that personalizes the seat. Your role, your voice, your rules, your frameworks · loaded into every session automatically. It's what makes Zone 2 actually act like your regular table.

④
THE MENU
Skills

Reusable markdown recipes Claude can call. Install one (a job-description writer, an exit-interview analyzer) and use it across Projects.

⑤
STANDING ORDERS
Routines

Scheduled actions. "Every weekday 7AM, summarize my inbox." Set once, run forever.

⑥
THE RUNNER
Dispatch

Spin up parallel sub-agents on one job. "Research 5 candidates at once." Five mini-Claudes working side by side.

⑦
KITCHEN LINE
Computer Use

Claude drives a browser like a person would. Clicks, types, scrolls. Useful for pulling data from sites that don't expose an API.

⑧
THE RECEIPT
Hooks

Fires an action after every Claude event. "After every reply, log to Notion." The plumbing that connects Claude to your stack.

⑨
BACK OF HOUSE
APIs · Connectors · MCP

Where your data lives. The kitchen pulls from here. MCP is the universal way to plug Claude into any data source you own.
