Claude Desktop: 5 Things to Do FIRST

You just installed Claude Desktop. Here are 5 things to do in the first hour that nobody on YouTube is telling you. Most users skip all five and wonder why Claude feels limited.

1. Open ~/.claude/skills/ — the folder where Claude looks for instructions.
2. Write your first SKILL.md — 15 lines of plain English, Claude follows it every session.
3. Save a prompt library — 3 SKILL.md files for the prompts you reuse weekly.
4. Set up CLAUDE.md — project memory that tells Claude who you are.
5. Connect one tool through MCP — calendar or Google Drive so Claude can actually do work.

Claude Desktop is not a chatbot. It is a folder reader. The folder is what you are missing — and what you put in it is the whole skill.
50+ non-coders shipping their first SKILL.md every Saturday. Free 28-lesson Foundation course inside.

📥 FREE paste-ready setup files → comment DESKTOP below and I will DM the bundle (SKILL.md template + CLAUDE.md template + MCP setup) tonight.
