The on-ramp to Claude: pick the right model and effort, write prompts that actually land, ground Claude in your real files and projects, and turn its answers into things you can use and trust.
By the end you will be able to pick the right Claude model and effort for a job, write a grounded prompt with all four ingredients, get a built Artifact instead of just a reply, keep recurring work in a project, and check anything current or important before you rely on it.
