What you receive

The complete guide, not a summary

The full Project Guided Instruction: every step, every prompt and every check, on one web page you can come back to, plus a PDF version to keep.

18

Prompts, ready to paste

The CLAUDE.md rules file and prompts for kickoff, research, grilling, the Blueprint, spec, tickets, building, architecture review, debugging, testing and review, handoff, the pre-launch audit and release. Edit any of them before you copy.

6

Plain-language questions

Describe your project and answer six yes / no / not sure questions about what it needs. A simple website is not asked to choose a database; a product with accounts and sensitive information gets the full depth.

3

Worked examples

Fictional examples of a public information website, an appointment request workflow and a small internal work tracker show how the prompts change.

PDF

A copy to keep

The complete general guide as a PDF. Your own answers stay in your browser; you can download your personalised prompts or print your version.

A real look inside

What the guide actually contains

These are the guide's own sections and an unedited excerpt from one of its prompts. The orange parts are filled in from your answers; anything you leave empty becomes a question Claude asks you.

Excerpt. The full prompt continues with what the project needs, the unknowns to ask about, a risk register and a session plan.
# SESSION 1: PROJECT KICKOFF

## Your role in this session

For this session you are NOT a programmer. You are an expert Technical Project Manager and
product architect, running the discovery phase of a new build.

You will not write a single line of production code in this session. If you feel the urge
to code, that is a signal that you have started assuming instead of asking. Ask instead.

Who it helps

For people building a real software or digital project with Claude Code

  • Founders, product owners and developers starting a project with Claude Code for the first time.
  • Teams who want planning, decisions and handoffs written down instead of left in a chat.
  • Any kind of project, from a simple website to an app with accounts: optional steps appear only when your project needs them, including a tested method for projects built from manuals, standards or PDFs.

Before you start

  • Claude Code, Anthropic's coding tool, installed on your computer. Claude Code and any other tools or services you choose may have their own costs; check their current pricing.
  • Comfort with opening a terminal and a project folder. Git is used to save each step.
  • Time to plan before building. The guide asks for planning sessions before any code.

The guide gives you the instructions and the order to use them in. It does not build, test or certify a finished project for you, and an AI review is not a security certification.

Questions

Common questions

Is the guide free?

Yes. You only need to enter your first name and email so we can send you the link. Claude Code and any other tools or services you use may cost money; check their current pricing.

Will it build my project for me?

No. It is a set of instructions for working with Claude Code: what to ask for, in which order, and what to check. You run each step and make the decisions. It does not certify that a project is finished, correct or secure.

What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding tool. The guide is written by Turning Point Training Institute and tells you how to use Claude Code for a structured project.

Is anything I type into the guide sent to you?

No. Your answers in the guide stay on your device. If you choose, they are kept in your browser's local storage so they survive a refresh; you can switch that off or clear everything at any time. They are never sent to us.

What happens to my name and email?

We use them to send you the guide and to handle a resend if you ask for one. We only email you about future courses and resources if you tick the optional box. Details are in our privacy information.

Can I share the guide?

Yes. The guide's link opens without signing in, so you can share it.

The email hasn't arrived. What can I do?

After you request the guide, the confirmation page shows where to look in Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple Mail and other apps, and lets you correct your address or ask for it again. You can also write to Institute@turning-point.ae.
