you are about to gain AI superpowers What I'm going to show you in this video is the AI tool taking the world by storm Claude Code Even if you've never written a line of code before in your life by the end of these 15 minutes you're going to be able to build and launch money-making apps faster than you can imagine By the end of this video you'll be a master of how Claude Code works how to set it up and how to build and launch apps that will blow your mind even if you have zero technical experience I'll even show you two tips that will 10x your building speed I'm serious If you pay attention here you'll have AI superpowers Let's get into it Claude Code is the most powerful AI coding tool in the world right now It is better than Cursor It is better than Windsurf It is able to build way better apps on a way larger scale with significantly less work and oversight needed When using cursor you need to babysit every step of the way With clawed code you can give a command and it'll figure out how to do it on its own and build you really incredible apps with a you not needing to write a single line of code and b with you not having to give any oversight You give a command it builds the app you can walk away and you're good to go It's like having your own senior employee working for you And what it allows you to do is right inside your terminal on your computer just give it commands and it starts building applications for you autonomously is able to work independently while remembering a ton of context for you You literally just open up a terminal like you can see here on the site If you're on Mac you open terminal If you're on Microsoft you open up the command line and then you just type into the terminal what you want built and then claude code goes off and builds it for you What I'm going to show you in this video is actually how you can open it up inside a cursor so that you can use it side by side with other AI tools to get even more power out of it So you can see I opened up my terminal here inside a cursor I installed Claude and I'm able to give it commands like build out this app for me and I can hit enter and it goes and it just does a tremendous amount of work Well if I was using cursor by itself the agent built in I would sit there and babysit Claude code can do a lot of things independently It's also built on top of the most powerful coding model that exists which is Claude for Opus which is 10 times better than any other AI model you can use for coding It literally feels like you have a senior engineer working for you I've never felt this before When I used cursor or wind surf it really felt like I was working with kind of like an intern that I had a handhold But with clawed code this feels like I'm working with like a senior engineer who is doing work for me who I can just give commands to then walk away and trust them to get it done Let's talk about pricing How much does this cost you have three options when it comes to Claude Code You have the Pro Claude plan which is $17 a month This is a good plan to get started with and probably what I'd recommend with people just testing this out testing the waters playing along with this video The pro plan only gives you access to Claude Sonnet 4 which is the less powerful model of the two Claude models right so you have Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4 Sonnet 4 is still amazing and what I would consider the second best coding model in the world and it's good enough to get started right if you're just testing the waters Claude Sonnet 4 is going to do some incredible things But when you're ready to take the leap when you're ready to get serious you also have the two max plans for Claude for $100 a month and $200 a month And really the only difference between these two is you get way more usage out of the $200 a month plan But both of these give you access to Opus 4 which again is the most powerful AI coding model in the entire world For the sake of this video if you're new to the Claude code and the Claude ecosystem you're just fine with the $17 a month pro plan You can test this out with Claude Sonnet 4 And if you're as blown away as I was then you can upgrade to the next levels I personally am on the $200 plan and the only reason for that is I code like 10 hours a day So I need the most amount of credits to build with but you can easily get away with any of these two tiers if you're just getting started For the sake of this video though I'd start with the $17 plan So do yourself a favor real quick pause the video sign up for one of these plans Again if you're just getting started you're not even paying for Claude yet you're totally cool trying this out with the 17 If you're looking to get hardcore and you want to code every single day you can easily upgrade to the $100 whenever you want Once that is done and you are signed up you are ready to install Claude Code Again you can easily do this in your terminal If you're just on Mac you can open up a terminal but what I'm going to recommend doing to install Claude Code is actually use cursor There are a lot of advantages to running Claude code in cursor One of them being is you can actually see the code being changed in real time So it's a code editor right so you can see code being changed And number two is you can combine it with other cursor features that I like which I covered in my last video but I'll touch on here as well But you can combine the clawed code features with some other cursor AI functionality too which we'll get into So do yourself a favor for the sake of this video Download Cursor 2 if you haven't already And I'm going to show you how to install Claude Code inside of Cursor in a second There's a free tier so you don't need to worry about paying for this right now either Once you have cursor installed feel free to open it up open up a new project a new folder Very simple to do And you will see this screen What we're going to do now is install claude code inside our terminal inside cursor so that we can combine all the functionality together So what you're going to do inside here is hit control tillday if you're on Mac which opens up your terminal here which you can see there All we need to do and this is very very simple is copy in the claw code command So I'm going to go back to the Claude Code site And what you're going to see right here is this command right here You hit copy You paste it into cursor right there in your terminal And then you hit enter and Claude Code's going to install for you Very very simple Once it's installed it's just going to have you log in so we can see what plan you're on And you're good to go I'll also put the command down below So feel free to pause here copy and paste the command from the description and put it into your terminal One last step Once you have that installed all you do is type in claude to your terminal hit enter and you have claude code ready to go So there you can see it Claude code is set I'm going to do one more stylistic thing here that I think you should do as well If you rightclick on the terminal up here and then do panel position click right I like it over here on the right hand side Then we can close the cursor AI agent So all we see is clawed code I just like having it here so we can see the entire chat on the right hand side So now we have it installed Time to start using Here's the fun part This is where we get to start building the app So I'm going to do a few things here I'm going to show you how to build the app I'm also going to show you two tricks I think will give you superpowers when it comes to Claude Code I'm going to show you the kind of mindset you need when using it that's going to make you super super effective And I'm going to give you some little tricks I promise you haven't seen anywhere else that's going to make it so much easier to build apps even if you've never written code before So let's do this We have a fresh project in cursor We have no code written whatsoever Let's get this started Let's start off by building a calendar app So I'm going to have Claude Code build out kind of the base components of the calendar app And then I'm going to show you these really awesome tricks that are going to make it so easy to build apps with Claude Code So I'm going to start off by giving it a simple command to build the app We're going to build a calendar app using Claude Code Once we hit this it's going to start building out the app I'm going to go over some advantages of Claude code and how it's working Then I'm going to give you these awesome tricks They're going to change how you build apps forever So let's do this I put in the command I want to build a calendar app using Nex.js For those who don't know Nex.js very popular web app technology It's going to make it easy to build and scale your apps It should show a calendar view of this week and make it so I can create new events and assign dates and times to the events It should be a really beautiful app So you're talking to Claude Code just like it's your employee just like it's an engineer that works for you Tell it what you want it to build and it's going to go build it for you Let's set up the basic version of this app I'll show you the tips and tricks and we'll make this app look really awesome So let's hit enter here And as this is building make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you learned anything at all All I do is make incredible videos about how to build with AI What Claude Code is now going to do is going to start thinking and it's going to start showing you how to build the app out So okay I'll help you build a beautiful calendar app with Nex.js Let me start off by setting up the project So it's setting up the project What I love about Claude Code that I don't really see any other tools do is it sets up a to-do list right so when you give a command to cursor for instance and this is a big difference between the two it thinks very onedimensionally where cursor would be like okay I'm just going to oneshot this command I'm you tell me to build a calendar app I'm just going to oneshot building the calendar app And when AIs try to oneshot things that's when they usually screw up What Claude code does is it doesn't try to oneshot it It actually breaks it down into individual to-dos So it makes like a to-do list for itself Then it goes and executes on that to-do list So instead of oneshotting everything it breaks it down into tiny little chunks and then executes on those chunks for you So you get really really good result So every step of the way it asks do you want me to proceed so you can approve it If you want to go in yolo mode you can say yes and don't ask me again Uh let's just for the sake of this video just say yes But as a side note when I'm building apps personally I go into yellow mode I let it do whatever it wants And I've never once ran into an issue It never once messed anything up So let's for the sake of this video just hit yes for it to proceed and it'll start building out our app So as it goes through it's going to ask for approval on installing different technologies Don't worry here Just hit yes It's going to start installing all the tech you need to build out your app And also make sure to build along with me here So if you want pause the video grab the command from down below I'm going to put all my prompts down below as well and build this out with me The best way to learn is by doing So as you can see here as it goes through its to-do list it crosses it off and then moves on to the next to-do items which is amazing It's it's like it can manage itself It can iterate and think about what it's doing and then improve on what it's doing So I'm just going to keep hitting yes as it goes down through its to-do list And by the end of this it's going to have a beautiful calendar app Once it's done here we're going to go into the depths around switching models around tips and tricks planning mode versus execution and I'm going to give you those two hacks I think will blow your mind with Claude code So as you can see on the left hand side cursor the code is being written by Claude Code We're not doing anything We're just sitting back relaxing while our senior developer goes and writes all the code for us With Cursor I need I need to babysit each step of the way to make sure it's running well With Claude I just sit back relax and it goes right down the list of to-do items All right looks like it completed the V1 of the calendar app So let's check out what it looks like and then we'll start getting into the workflow you want to do with Claude Code that makes it so much more powerful than any other AI tool And I'll show you the secret to how I use it that gets you way more productivity from Claude Code So let's check out the app first I'm going to bring over the local host See what we got here Okay so we do have a calendar I'm gonna be quite frank with you It looks very ugly This is a very ugly looking calendar So this is good I'm happy it looks this ugly cuz now I can show you how to work with Claude Code to make this look way better and have way more functionality So let's go back into Claude Code and let's get into the secret sauce here So we're back into Claude Code Here is the secret to Claude Code The secret to Claude Code is planning and execution There's two phases to cla code And this actually isn't in any of the documentation They just kind of expect you to know this is there's a planning mode with cloud code and an execution mode And what you want to do is if you can nail the distinction between these two modes you can get so much better results So we're in Claude Code What you want to do is hit shift tab When you hit shift tab you can see plan mode on This isn't in any documentation If you go on Claude's site and look at all the documentation for some reason it doesn't tell you that there's a shift tab to turn plan mode on So what you want to do when working with cloud code is you start off in plan mode through shift tab and then once you have the plan correct you switch to execution mode with one more shift tab to execute This is going to make it so you get so much better result So pause here get into plan mode hit shift tab and I'm going to start walking you through how to use plan mode to get incredible apps Okay great work I want to first make this calendar look really nice with clean colors and easyto read minimalistic interface Please build the plan to execute on this Right now it's very plain and ugly as if there's no styling We're going to hit enter Now what Claude Code's going to do because it's in planning mode is build us a plan that it can execute on So it's designing it right now You can see all the tokens being used You can see which files it's reading to do the planning If we wanted to interrupt we can hit escape but it's doing good so far So we're going to see what kind of plan it comes up with here And then before we execute I'm going to show you one more amazing trick that's going to make Claude code even more powerful than it already is But let's take a look at the plan first before we do that Okay so here is Claude's plan I like the little interface it gives us here So calendar UI enhancement plan Look how in-depth this is Look how in-depth this is That's pretty cool Design goals Create a beautiful modern minimalistic calendar interface with soft pleasing colors and good contrast Improve spacing and typography and enhance the visual hierarchy All right And then it has a plan changes Replace the harsh gray colors with softer colors I like that Oh look at this Glass morphism effect for modal backdrop So we're only a few days removed from the Apple event where they made glass morphism like the whole Apple design language Claude Code is already aware of that It's going to start implementing it into our calendar So I'm excited to see how it does Let's see how good it can do there Uh and it has the rest of the plan Smooth hover transitions Okay I like that Would I like to proceed i think that's a pretty good looking plan don't you let's do this Let's hit enter on So let's proceed And now it is automatically switched to execution mode And now it is going to implement the calendar design So automatically switched to execution And now it's writing the code to make this look really really good And again at this point if I want to I can walk away That's how much I trust clawed code is this is the only AI where for me it's been so good I feel like I can walk away and do other things What I actually do is and this would be my recommendation to you there's one of two things you can do when cla's working One is you can build other apps So I actually work on two apps at a time at all times because that's how good Claude Code is But the other thing you can do as well if you're just getting started and I'd recommend this open up a second window open up a chat whether you like chat GPT or Claude open up that chat and just chat with an AI Talk about what you're building Talk about what else you want to build Talk about your life goals Set up a life coach Whatever you want to do That's how I get the most productivity out of my AI sessions is I try to do two things at once I have an AI build an app for me And then I also have an AI coaching me talking about plans talking about what I'm working on and improving my business That's what I'd recommend for you All right looks like it's all done Let's check this out Let's see how it did Boom Okay that's pretty nice styling Let's see We got this nice gradient on top here All right let's do new event Oh it does kind of have that glass morphism blurry effect in the background Let's Let's get one thing correct here Still very ugly There's still bordering issues here There's still some things that need good styling but we can work with this This is good Again this was all done with pretty much two prompts so far We have an entire calendar app with pretty cool modern styling You can even see some of the nice little details here There's like a glowing little dot here on the current day we're in I like that So I showed you a little bit about planning and execution mode We're going to implement a couple more features I want to show you some other tips and tricks that are really really critical for cloud code that are going to turn up your productivity by 10 So let's do this I want to show you a couple more things here I want to show you another trick they don't show you which is slashmodel So if you do slashmodel and then do opus So you type in opus you are going to be able to switch to their best programming model which is opus claude opus 4 It is by far the smartest best AI coding model there is on planet Earth So if you were on the hundred or $200 plan you want to do that You want to do /model opus If you're still on the $17 plan stick with sonnet That's totally cool It still works really really well Up to now everything we've done is on the sonnet model So it works well But I want to add a couple more features to this calendar app But before we do that I want to show you another really really powerful trick with clawed code If you go over here to your file system and you do new file rightclick new file we're going to make a new file called claude in all caps MD So for markdown this is going to be our rules file for claude code Whatever we put in here is going to be included as context to claude code with every single prompt we do So we're going to do is we're going to put in a few rules here that are really powerful that are going to make Claude code even better at coding So here's the rules we're going to put in I'll also include this down below in the description So feel free to pause here copy and paste it from the description and then put it into your own application And right before I go through these rules let's make one more file that make Claude even more powerful So new file and we're going to call this todo.md So another markdown file todo.md So once you have claw.md todd and then you copy and paste these rules in you'll be good to go for what I'm about to show you So here we go This is what we put in the rules This will be included in every single clawed prompt you do now First think through the problem read the code base for relevant files and write a plan at todo.md So what this is going to do is basically build us a project manager So everything cla does it's going to add its to-do list to todo.mmarkdown So as it goes if we ever check back in we can read that file and see what progress Claude has done in its to-do list So we can track everything it's doing step by step So that's really powerful The plan should have a list of to-do items that you can check off as you complete them Just as I explained before you begin work check with me and I'll verify the plan Kind of what we're doing with the plan mode One other really important rule here that's I included as well is make every task and code change you do as simple as possible We want to avoid any making any massive or complex changes This is just a good rule to include in any other AI programming tool you use So I include that as well So we have this rule list here This is included with every single Claude command you do And this is going to make it so that A the changes that Claude Code makes are impactful And B it keeps you up to date with everything that Claude Code is doing So you can track progress as it goes which makes it really easy to manage It's kind of like setting boundaries for your own software engineer that's working for you So now that we set up all our guard rails here let's put everything I've taught you together so far into this and keep building our calendar app Right so far I taught you about planning in execution mode I taught you about giving it rules that it will follow to make really good changes And then I taught you about the to-do list file that it's going to keep track of all its tasks in So now we're really organized Claude Code is going to be a really good employee for us And it's going to write really good code So let's go back into Claude Code Let's do shift tab to go back into planning mode and let's start building out more features here So one thing I like to do before I give more commands to Claude Code and this is a really good tip as well for using Cloud Code I think you'll like So what I want to do next is add to-do items to the calendar So we can also add to-do instead of events But I want to get a feel for what Claude Code thinks it should do next So since it's such a powerful smart model before I do any next steps I want to get insight into what it thinks we should do next So here's what I'm going to do What do you think we should add to make this calendar even more powerful one of my favorite things to do with AIS especially Claude Code because it's so smart is just ask for its opinion What should we add next what do you think we can do to improve it and a lot of the time what I find is to actually give suggestions that I never thought of that makes the app way more powerful So let's hit enter on that in plan mode and let's see what kind of plan it comes up with All right so here's the plan Wow look at this plan Let's here's the plan that they came up with Powerful features One event persistence and storage Okay so being able to store the events to a database That's pretty good for future proofing Adding recurring events adding multiple views Oo I like that Advanced event feature So being able to add descriptions categories locations attachments That's pretty cool Search and filter keyboard shortcuts So I like some of these event management Let's have it implement the event management So I'm going to come back in I'm going to say I'm going to hit the escape button I'm going to say I really like the event management recommendation Make it so I can manage drag and drop events in the calendar So we're going to switch back to execution mode So sift shift tab and I'm going to hit enter and it's going to get to work and by the end of what it's doing I'm going to have that implemented right and so this is the most powerful way to work with cloud code where we're going back and forth I'm asking for ideas We're bouncing ideas and I tell it okay go ahead and execute on the ideas This is what makes Claude code so much more powerful than anything else out there Okay looks like it's all done here What did we get so with that one prompt Claude Code added drag and drop events edit events delete events event persistence description field in the enhanced UX So let's check this out Let's see how it did here So we have the calendar Let's add an event Record a YouTube video Let's give it a date of today Let's create the event Boom There it is Let's see Can we drag and drop it we can I mean that looks just like Google Calendar That's pretty amazing So it added the drag and drop which is sick Let's see if we can edit it Yep we can edit it Let's give it a different theme Update it It updates it So we added entirely new editing with just that one prompt And it did it made it looks really nice I think the whole thing looks really nice And this is what I love to do with AI is I love to take any apps I use regularly that I pay for like Google Calendar and just build my own version of it then I can go back cancel the plan save money AI is actively saving me money So again here are the three main ways to get the most out of clawed code You want to think about planning versus execution So being in planning mode then switching to execution mode Get a really powerful plan and then execute on it You want to have your clawed rules set up which again pause look down below in the description I have all the rules you need Put that into your rules file That makes sure Claude code runs very very smoothly And then you want to think about project management So you want to think about managing your tasks managing what you want to build next and making sure Claude Code manages that so that it thinks about the bigger picture as it's completing all its small tasks Claude Code is the most powerful AI coding tool I've ever used If you use it properly and you know how to communicate with it you can get more out of it than you can possibly imagine It can build incredible things without you needing to babysit every single step of the way I'm now using it over cursor I'm now using it over Windsurf It is amazing Feel free to watch this back over all my tips and tricks and rules again so that you can become a Claude Code master And if you can become a Claude code master you can build anything you want To see my advanced workflow with Claude Code feel free to check out the video linked somewhere on this screen right now It'll show you how I use it side by side with other AI tools to build really amazing things And make sure to hit the subscribe button and leave a like if you learned anything at all All I do is make awesome videos about how to build stuff with AI I'll see you in the next video
