For those who don't quite get Claude Code | A story that will make you want to use it

A story about recommending Claude Code to an acquaintance

It happened when I was talking to someone
who doesn't work in IT.

The topic of a tool called Claude Code came up,
and
that person said this.

I've seen the name before, but
it didn't really click,
so I didn't feel like using it.

You see information about it everywhere.
But you can't see
how it connects to your daily life.

That seemed to be their state of mind.

So, when I said one thing to them,
they told me,
I've never wanted to try it until now.

Today, I'm going to talk about that.

It looks irrelevant because it runs on a black screen

Claude Code is a tool
that lets you work
while interacting with AI.

However, the place it runs
is that black screen
that programmers often use.

That's why the first time people see it,
they likely feel
it has nothing to do with them.

What can it do?
Where is it convenient?

Without that being conveyed,
the name just passes by.

My acquaintance was
in exactly that state.

The phrase, 'Make it a skill at the end'

What I told them was
just one phrase.

Once you've settled on a method,
you can just say,
make it a skill at the end.

That's all.

When you usually ask AI to do a task,
you write out instructions from scratch every time.

But once you have established the method,
you can have it memorize
that procedure as a 'skill'.

From then on, you won't have to explain it from scratch;
it will handle the same task
using the procedure it learned.

Compared to when I had to explain everything from zero every time,
the effort required to make a request
has decreased significantly.

Moreover, you don't have to check each step,
it will carry out the entire sequence at once.

Once you ask it to 'do this for me',
you can work on other tasks in the meantime
or take a break and have a coffee.

A skill is essentially a 'work memo that has learned the procedure'.

When you hear the word 'skill',
you might feel intimidated,
but the content is simple.

'For this task, follow this order
and proceed like this.'

You just summarize that procedure in text
and give it to the AI.

Once you have created it,
it will work just by calling it next time.

You won't have to repeat
the same explanation every time.

Refining and growing it every time you use it

I also have several tasks
that I have turned into skills and delegated.

Like having it read receipt PDFs
and organize them into journal entry data.

Or having it create invoices
and even prepare email drafts.

Or having it summarize my schedule
and register it all at once
into Google Calendar.

Once you convey your way of doing things
at the beginning,
it won't stray too far from that.

However, just because you created it
doesn't mean it will be perfect forever.

Every time I actually use it,
I tell it 'I want you to do this part like this'
as needed.

If a task comes in with a slightly different pattern than usual,
I just add a quick note for that specific instance.

As you repeat those small adjustments,
it begins to understand your way of doing things,
and the scope of what you can delegate expands.

Gradually,a personal secretary of your ownit starts to feel like you are raising

If you are not comfortable with the black screen, the Cowork entry point

That said,
I think there are many people
who are not comfortable with that black screen.

For those people,
a tool called Claude Cowork
has also recently been released.

According to the official information,
even without writing code,
you can make requests on a task-by-task basis,

and it also supports
research and document creation
outside of programming.

I personally haven't
touched Cowork much,
but for those who feel intimidated by the black screen,
it seems like a good place to start.

First, try delegating just one thing

At first, everyone
starts from the point of
“Can it really do that?”

There is no need to
delegate everything all at once.

Try choosing just one task
that you repeat almost every day.

Try doing that with the AI,
and once the method is solidified, turn it into a skill.

That is how you increase the tasks
you can delegate, one by one.

The mindset of turning repetitive tasks into a system
and letting go of the hands-on work
applies directly to
your entire business as well.

As the first step toward that,
please choose one task
to delegate today!
