Non-Coder Claude Code Setup and Prompt

1. Open the Claude desktop app. 2. Click "Code" (not Chat, not Cowork). 3. Sign up for a free GitHub account. 4. Drop your project folder into Code. 5. Select Opus 4.7 (not Haiku, not Sonnet). 6. Use this setup guide. Before you prompt, flip these 2 settings: 1. Switch to "Bypass Permissions." No more "Allow this?" 20 times per session. Vibecode 100x faster. 2. Create a "CLAUDE .md" in your project root. Type: "Write down everything you've learned about this project." Claude remembers your fonts, colors, and structure. Forever. Then stop typing 500-word paragraphs. Screenshot instead. Drag a screenshot of any site you love into Code. Paste this instead: "I do not know how to code. Build me something like this for [GOAL]. Make it work on mobile. Loop until it's right." Claude reads your screenshot. It builds the site. You check it on your phone. You screenshot every bug. You send a numbered list. Refresh. Repeat.
