JAMIE'S BIT / THE HANDS-ON SETUP
"Speak as you might to a young child. Or perhaps as you would to a golden retriever."
— John Tuld, Margin Call
Claude Code is a CLI agent that lives in your terminal. It reads your files, writes new ones, runs commands, and maintains context across sessions. You talk in plain English — it does the work.
No syntax. No commands to memorise. Describe what you want the way you'd tell a workmate.
Claude builds it. You react. It adjusts. Every action asks your permission first.
It sees your files, remembers your preferences across sessions, and takes real actions — creating files, running servers, deploying apps. Not answers. Outcomes.
No API keys to find. No accounts to create. One command installs Claude Code, sets up your access via your Salesforce Google account, and you're done.
1. Your Salesforce-managed laptop
2. Connected to ZScaler VPN
3. Logged into Okta
That's your text box. Everything from here is just pasting into this window.
Google's "Choose an account" screen appears. Select your Salesforce email, click Continue. The tab confirms "Sign-in complete" — close it and the installer finishes on its own.
y and press Enter to regenerate. That's fine — it just means you or another machine ran it before.
Quit Terminal, reopen it, create a project folder, and launch. You're talking to Claude in under 30 seconds.
~/claude-projects folder keeps it scoped to work you want it touching — not your SSH keys, browser data, or documents.
/statusShows your connection status — confirms you're hooked up to the Salesforce gateway.
/supportLaunches the Salesforce Claude support agent — it'll diagnose issues and tell you what to fix.
Support channel: #claude-code-support
These prompts build on each other. Copy them in order and watch the conversation compound — from training wheels to something you'd actually use tomorrow.
Shows: permissions, file creation, the open command
Claude understands intent, not just instructions — it pivots from toy to tool
Claude extends your idea, keeps full context, edits the existing file
You don't need to know what's possible — just describe what would help. Click any card to copy its prompt.
A printable weekly planner you can click to annotate.
A searchable objection reference with multiple response lengths.
Paste rough notes, get a Slack-ready standup message.
Paste a draft, pick a tone, get a rewrite side-by-side.
Point Claude at any CSV and get an interactive dashboard.
A QBR template you fill in — then present as fullscreen slides.
Each Claude session starts fresh — no memory of yesterday. Skills and memory fix this. Skills are reusable commands you trigger with /name. Memory is a file tree Claude reads and writes to remember things across sessions. Set both up now and Claude becomes a partner, not a stranger.
A skill is a markdown file with detailed instructions Claude follows when you type its name. /pause, /remember, /recall — you define what Claude does when triggered.
A folder (~/.claude/memory/) where Claude stores decisions, preferences, project context. It reads these at the start of each session — so it remembers who you are and what you've been building.
Copy this entire prompt. It creates your memory system and all four core skills in one go.
Closing your laptop, switching projects, or running out of time. Pause captures exactly where you are so tomorrow's fresh Claude can pick up seamlessly.
Preferences, decisions, project context. "I work in AEST timezone." "This project uses Streamlit." "My boss prefers one-page summaries." Things that shape how Claude helps you.
When you know you told Claude something weeks ago but can't remember the details. "What did I decide about the auth flow?" "What's my preferred stack?"
/remember, Claude knows your style, your tools, your preferences, and your project context. It stops feeling like a new hire every morning and starts feeling like a colleague who was here yesterday.
An "agent" sounds fancy. It's just a little web app that Claude powers. You describe it, Claude builds it, you open it in your browser.
A chatbot is fun. An agent that preps you for customer meetings — with a Slackbot bridge for real data? That's a tool you'll use every day.
Next week we connect your agent to Slack. It starts pulling context automatically. The agent does real work without you copy-pasting.
Your agent reads channels, summarises threads, pulls context. No more manual copy-paste.
Wire up Salesforce queries. Pre-meeting brief pulls real pipeline, contacts, activity.
Put it on Heroku. Share with your team. Show and tell.
Build guides for agents I've already made. Each walks you through building it from scratch using Claude Code.
See all my agents running. Get inspired.
