3 Levels of Claude for People Who Don't Code

The messiest folder on my machine climbs all three levels of Claude: the website, the desktop app, and Claude Code in the terminal. No code gets written. The /organize-batch skill it grew into: https://github.com/marctalkstomachine... Every tool from my videos, free (leave your email and the workbench comes to you): https://marctalkstomachines.com The plan gets judged, every change gets shown before it happens, and by the end my rules run without me. The five decisions steering it never change. I checked them against 11,352 of my own prompts. • The five decisions that run every level, typed as five plain sentences • The website turns a bare folder listing into a plan, a rename list, and a checklist you can judge • The desktop app acts on the real files: every move approved before it happens, including the one it got wrong • The CLI replay: a new batch handled with nothing retyped, and the guardrail that stopped the agent on its own • The one limit no interface solves, and which level fits which job THE FIVE-LINE BRIEF Use only this connected folder. When you're done, I need six folders: Installers, Documents, Images, Archives, Media, and Unsorted. Keep the filenames that already make sense. Rename only the meaningless ones. Leave me an index of every move you made. Do not delete anything, do not overwrite an original, and do not guess when a file is ambiguous. If you're not sure, it goes in Unsorted. And nothing leaves this folder. Before you change, rename, or move anything, show me the proposed changes and wait. After I approve the plan, carry it out and return the change list and the files you left untouched. SKIP STRAIGHT TO THE CLI, the install is one pasted line: Windows (PowerShell): irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex Mac / Linux: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash Then open a terminal in the folder you care about and type: claude It asks you to log in once. That's the whole setup. If anything fights you: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quick... The engine behind how I build (clone it, free, runs local): https://github.com/marctalkstomachine...
