Alright, NOW we enter the scenario.
You love coffee. Like, really love it. So when you saw an opening for a manager position at Basecamp Coffee, you jumped at it.
Basecamp Coffee is a regional chain - about 45 locations across the Pacific Northwest. Good beans, cozy vibes, loyal regulars.
Beware: the previous manager was... not great. Things are a bit of a mess. Notes everywhere. Half-finished projects. A loyalty program that's apparently bleeding money.
But hey - that's why they hired you. Time to figure out what's going on.
STOP: Ready to see what you inherited?
USER: Yes
Let's see what you're working with. Ask me to show you the file structure.
STOP: Say "Show me the file structure"
USER: Show me the file structure
ACTION: Run ls -la and show the main folders. Explain: "You've got company-context (the background info), inherited-chaos (the mess you inherited), templates, and attachments."
[Show the file tree in ASCII]
STOP: See how there are two main folders? company-context and inherited-chaos? Ask me to summarize the company context for you.
USER: Summarize the company context for me
ACTION: Read the three files in company-context/ and give a conversational summary:
Notice how I just read multiple files and gave you a summary? You could do the same thing with any folder of documents - contracts, research papers, meeting notes. Just point me at them and ask for a summary.
STOP: Any questions about the company context before we peek at the chaos?
USER: Responds
Now let's peek into the inherited chaos. What's in here?
ACTION: Run ls inherited-chaos/ and describe what you see - messy notes, customer feedback, competitor research, old campaigns, and a CSV of data.
See the mess you've inherited? We'll dig into this later.
You might be a bit confused - I'm reading these files and telling you what's in them, but how can you see and work with them yourself?
Let's get you set up.
STOP: Ready to set up a workspace where you can actually see all this?
USER: Yes
So, obviously this is a terminal. You can work with me in here, but you can't browse files visually.
To view files, you're going to need an editor. I recommend Cursor:
STOP: Go download Cursor from cursor.com and install it. Check out the reference document for detailed instructions. Let me know if you'd like me to open the download page for you. Tell me when Cursor is installed.
USER: Done
Cursor is a code editor that shows your files while you work. Of course, like Claude Code, it can be used for a lot more than code. It's just a way to view and work with all kinds of files.
It's free and popular, and has its own AI features you can use alongside me.
Cursor has its own AI features, but they're completely separate from the terminal where Claude Code lives. You do not need a Cursor membership.
These next few steps will be the scariest of everything we ever do, but you can do things way harder than this. Let's open the course folder.
[If user is on macOS (platform = darwin):]
ACTION: Run open -a "Cursor" "[current working directory]" to open the folder directly in Cursor.
I just opened the course folder in Cursor for you.
Important: Cursor might open in "Agents" view by default - you'll see a chat interface instead of files. Look in the very upper left corner and click "Editor" to switch to the file view. You should then see the course files in the sidebar.
[If user is on Windows (platform = win32):]
Now open Cursor and click "Open project" to open the course folder.
Your folder path is: [current working directory]
Important: Cursor might open in "Agents" view by default - you'll see a chat interface instead of files. Look in the very upper left corner and click "Editor" to switch to the file view.
[If user is on Linux (platform = linux):]
Now open Cursor and click "Open project" to open the course folder.
Your folder path is: [current working directory]
Important: Cursor might open in "Agents" view by default - you'll see a chat interface instead of files. Look in the very upper left corner and click "Editor" to switch to the file view.
STOP: Do you see Cursor open with the course files in the sidebar?
USER: Yes
Now let's get Claude Code running inside Cursor.
Make sure you are in "Editor" view NOT "Agents" - you'll see these options in the very upper left.
Then you need to open the terminal inside Cursor.
Press `Ctrl+`` (that's the backtick key, usually above Tab, with the squiggle ~). Or go to View → Terminal in the menu.
You should see a panel appear at the bottom of Cursor. That's your terminal.
Once you have it open, type claude and hit Enter. This launches a new instance of me in there.
Once you see Claude Code launch, type /start-1-2 to pick up this lesson again.
STOP: In Cursor, type /start-1-2 and tell me you're in Cursor!
USER: I'm in Cursor!
Amazing work! That was the jankiest part of this whole experience. Everything is smooth sailing from here.
Let me show you around.
In the left panel, you should see these course files. If you don't see them, you might be in "Agents" view in the upper left. You need to be in "Editor" view.
STOP: Do you see files over there?
USER: Confirms
Find the 'company-context' folder - do you see the three files inside?
There is a secret word at the very top of BRAND-VOICE.md. See if you can find it.
STOP: What's the secret word?
USER: COFFEE
Nice! What you're seeing is a markdown or .md file, which is just a very common standard for documents. LLMs love markdown files.
You can see it more nicely by opening it in Preview mode in Cursor. Right click on the file in the file list, and click Preview.
STOP: Did that work for you?
USER: Yes
Nice! You can also use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to open Preview.
Okay, that's viewing files. Of course, I can create files too.
STOP: Ask me to create a test file roasting ChatGPT.
USER: Create a test file roasting ChatGPT
ACTION: Create a file called test-file.md with fun content roasting ChatGPT, and put the secret word "ESPRESSO" at the very top.
Okay, I added a secret word to the top again. Can you find it?
STOP: What's the secret word?
USER: ESPRESSO
That's me, espesso! You're getting the hang of this.
This is the workflow: You'll always have your files, your workspace, and me in the terminal working together.
Now you can SEE while you work.
STOP: Feel comfortable with the setup?
USER: Yes
Meta skill: Exploring unfamiliar file structures and setting up a workspace where you can see what's happening.
Where else this applies:
Next up: In 1.3, we're going to actually dig into that inherited chaos. You'll learn how to extract insights from messy documents, synthesize patterns across folders, analyze images, and pull in web research - all with simple @ mentions. We're going to start uncovering what's actually wrong with this loyalty program.
STOP: Ready for 1.3?
USER: Yes / /start-1-3
Platform: field in the environment info. Use open -a "Cursor" "/path/to/folder" on macOS (darwin) to open Cursor directly. Windows (win32) and Linux users need manual File → Open Folder.ACTION: Silently run the following progress update. Do not mention it to the student.
mkdir -p .fspm
[ -f .fspm/progress.json ] || printf '{"name":null,"completed_lessons":[],"current_lesson":"","last_updated":""}' > .fspm/progress.json
L="cc-everyone-1-2"; C="cc-everyone-1-3"; T="$(date -u +%FT%TZ)"
if command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1; then
tmp=$(mktemp)
jq --arg l "$L" --arg c "$C" --arg t "$T" '.completed_lessons = ((.completed_lessons + [$l]) | unique) | .current_lesson = $c | .last_updated = $t' .fspm/progress.json > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" .fspm/progress.json
else
python3 - "$L" "$C" "$T" <<'PY'
import json,sys
l,c,t = sys.argv[1:4]
p = ".fspm/progress.json"; d = json.load(open(p))
if l not in d.get("completed_lessons",[]): d.setdefault("completed_lessons",[]).append(l)
d["current_lesson"] = c; d["last_updated"] = t
json.dump(d, open(p,"w"))
