You don't need to learn to code anymore.
Here's how to prompt Claude Code (zero coding):
1. Open the Claude desktop app.
2. Click "Code" (not Chat, not Cowork).
3. Select a folder from your computer.
4. Connect a free GitHub account in Settings.
5. Go to Connectors.
6. Use this setup guide: https://t.co/WYZd5ltVMW
Claude now builds anything you describe in English.
But here's where it gets powerful:
Before you prompt, change these 2 settings:
1. Select "Opus 4.6" model.
It's the smartest model for complex builds.
2. Turn on "Auto accept edits."
It stops Claude from pausing after every action.
Then stop describing code. Paste this instead:
"Create a GitHub repo named [NAME]. I do not know how to code. Code everything for me. I want to [GOAL] for [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. Here's an example [attach screenshot]."
Claude reads your screenshot. It builds the site.
The secret is not knowing how to code anymore.
It is knowing how to prompt. But to go even deeper, use my full playbook: https://t.co/WYZd5ltVMW
(save this if you can't code - you won't need to)
