Intro to Claude - 9 books

Most people open Claude, type something vague, get something disappointing, and quietly

conclude the tool is overrated. That person is who this series was written for.

Nine short books, one idea each. What Claude actually is and what it costs. The four

parts of a request that lands. The six steering moves that fix almost any answer in

eleven words. How to hand over documents, images and spreadsheets — and what Claude

genuinely *sees* inside each. Artifacts you keep, projects that stop you re-explaining

yourself, and a clear-eyed book on catching a fluent, confident, completely wrong answer

before you act on it.

It follows one small studio through a year of getting good at this, because ordinary

work — reports, emails, a difficult client — is more useful than abstract advice.

Every model name, price, limit and feature was checked against Anthropic's own published

documentation, and every calculation in a worked example was computed rather than

estimated. A guide that teaches last year's prices is worse than no guide.
