Claude Code has been completely overhauled — it's now a user-friendly desktop app for Mac and Windows that works without a terminal or complex installations. Working with it is like hiring two specialists: a thoughtful architect (the Opus 5.5 model) who plans the logic flawlessly, and a fast programmer (Sonnet 5) who quickly and cheaply writes the actual code.
In this complete walkthrough, I'll show you my perfect workflow pattern. We will build 4 real projects from scratch: a landing page for a podcast, a Chrome extension, a Python script for sorting files, and a local subscription tracker. You'll learn how to set rules using the claude.md file, manage terminal commands right from the chat, and stop overpaying for tokens.
