Claude Code on your own computer

Two prompts you paste, and Claude Code is installed and set up on your computer.

Runs on: Two prompts
Needs: A Mac or a Windows machine. It asks you which, and that is the only question in the whole thing.
Licence: MIT

What it does

Paste one prompt into any chat you already have open, and it asks Mac or Windows, installs Claude Code and signs you in
Paste the second into Claude Code, and it reads the installer, tells you what it does, runs it and checks its own work
Leaves you a folder for each project and a page of your own on your computer, with every page the agent writes for you
Keeps your keys encrypted with piy add, so a key never goes through the chat
Eight things to ask for by name, from /piy-wish for a new idea to /piy-save to save your work
Uninstalls cleanly and never touches your work

Every page on this site assumes the same thing: that you already have an AI agent running on your own computer. That assumption is where most people stop, and they stop before anything worth doing has happened. Not because the setup is hard, exactly, but because the instructions are written for people who already know what a terminal is.

So this is the version for people who do not.

What it is

Two prompts. You paste the first into any chat you already have open, and it gets the agent onto your computer and signed in. You paste the second into the agent itself, and it reads the installer, tells you what it is about to do, does it, and then checks its own work.

That is the whole thing. It asks one question, which is whether you are on a Mac or on Windows. Everything else was a question once and is decided now.

What it is not

It is not a service: the agent runs on your machine, the account is yours, and you do not need me for any part of it. If you never come on the show, it still works, and the kit stays free.

Where the instructions live

The walk-through is on the topic hub, and that page reads it out of the kit itself, so what you see there is the same text you would find on GitHub. This page is about what the thing is; that one is about doing it.

Rider Checks the website you built with your agent, its SEO and the rest, with the reason beside every finding. It never touches your code. It works on sites built with Astro, the way the show builds them.

Ghost Pointer A pointer that appears on the other person's actual desktop while they share their screen, so you can show them where to click. Separate from whatever tool is doing the sharing.

Screen It Recorder A menu bar app that records every screen, and a camera if you want one, to separate files with the same mic track, so Final Cut Pro can sync them.

Complain It Jetstar A console script that makes the Jetstar live chat beep, and keep beeping, when an agent writes, so you do not lose your place in the queue.

Dial It Countdown A countdown timer that lives on a Stream Deck dial, so the clock for a three hour session is under your hand instead of on another screen.
