Your brain with Claude Code, in eight short lessons.

Claude basics said what Claude Code is, and instibrain basics what it reads. These lessons run the two together: your first session, a question, a page, the files, the history, a second window, an operation, and the checks that keep the brain clean.

Lesson 1: Your first session → instibrain basics comes first

You need instibrain installed, Claude signed in, and at least one space beside Personal.

Eight lessons, from the first session to a clean brain.

The first five are the daily loop: start, ask, write, the files, the history. The last three widen it: a second window, a longer task, and the checks that keep the pages true.

  1. 1Your first sessionClaude asks who you are, writes it down, sets the computer up, and from then on starts every session from your pages.
  2. 2Ask your brainTwo or three words find the page; Claude reads it whole and names it, with how far its text may travel.
  3. 3Write a page togetherThe folder map first, then the page where its kind lives, with its index line; a proposal where you only read.
  4. 4The folder on your computerEvery space is a folder of plain files; the watch keeps it in step, and a conflict comes as a copy beside your file.
  5. 5Every change keptEach version names its writer; what a space keeps and for how long, and how a page comes back.
  6. 6Two windows, one roomA second window hears its rooms with nobody typing into it, and answers from the brain in 36 seconds.
  7. 7An operationA task with an end goal, days to weeks: its brief, its window, its room, and its close.
  8. 8Keep the brain cleanThe curator's checks: every page indexed, every link resolving, one place per fact, and the sweep.
