How to use this course

There are three paths. Pick one.

Path 1 — “I have a screen to fix tonight” (60 min)

You’re shipping a feature this week. You don’t have time to read everything.

Read 02-master-prompts/master-prompt.md. Copy it.
Open Claude Code in your repo. Paste the master prompt.
Open 03-ui-ux-vocabulary/full-cheat-sheet.md in a side window.
When Claude proposes 3 directions, use the cheat sheet to understand the patterns it names.
Pick one. Implement. Verify with the QA prompt.

Done. You’ve used 5% of the course and gotten 60% of the value.

Path 2 — “I want to install this in my team” (one weekend)

You want this workflow to be the default for everyone in your repo.

Read all of 01-foundations and 02-master-prompts.
Copy templates/CLAUDE.md to the root of your real project.
Copy 07-skills/ui-pattern-picker/SKILL.md to .claude/skills/ui-pattern-picker/ in your real project.
Walk your team through 08-demonstrations. Pick one to redo on your own product as a team workshop.
Add the 10 prompts to your team’s snippet manager (Raycast, Alfred, Notion).

Path 3 — “I want to actually master this” (one week, 2 hours/day)

You want to be the person on your team who can name any UI pattern, propose 3 directions for any screen, and direct Claude Code like a staff designer.

Day-by-day:

Day 1. 01-foundations + 02-master-prompts. Run the master prompt on a real screen.
Day 2. 03-ui-ux-vocabulary. Read every cheat sheet. Quiz yourself: name the pattern for “I want a place to type any command.”
Day 3. 04-modern-ui-stack. Install shadcn/ui or Radix in a sandbox if you haven’t.
Day 4. 05-prompt-library. Run all 10 prompts on your real product. Save the outputs.
Day 5. 06-add-ons + 07-skills. Install the skill.
Day 6. 08-demonstrations. Do one demo end-to-end on your own app.
Day 7. 09-workshops + 10-philosophy + 11-final-operating-system. Internalize the OS.

After day 7, you can name any pattern, propose any direction, and ship UI 100x faster than before.

A note on order

The numbered folders are a recommended order, not a hard requirement. The vocabulary module (03) is the load-bearing one. If you’re skipping anything, don’t skip that.
