Course 01 · waitlist open · lands next week

Open the door. Put the genie in the box.

A quick, focused guide: one week, one short step a day. You install Claude Code on your own computer, and you understand every step you take. By the end you can run the prompts from the reels yourself, and you know what they are doing.

  • What the terminal is, and how to read a command before you run it
  • Where your files actually live: folders, paths, the ~ sign
  • What Claude Code can reach on your computer, and how to stop it
  • Keeping keys and passwords out of your prompts
  • Taking a prompt from a reel and making it work on your own problem

The setup kit itself, mwk-genie, is free and open on GitHub. The course is the guided week around it: what every step does, and why.

This course will not be kept up to date. On purpose.

AI moves too fast for anyone to keep a course current, me included. So I won't patch this one forever. When it falls behind, it gets archived, you keep access, and a new course takes its place. What you learn about the terminal and your own computer does not go out of date.

Seen these? This is where they start.

Instead of letting others do it for you with AI, prompt it yourself.
Send the prompt, feed the baby, come back to finished work.

Put the genie in the box, on Mate Wish Key.

The show does this same process with real guests on their own computers. Would you rather do it together? It is pro bono: bring a wish and your own computer, you do the typing, I help with the prompting.
