Playbooks

Each playbook opens with a real workflow pain and walks the path that worked: what to install, what to run, what to check, and what fails when you skip a step.

Code covers Claude Code, skills, hooks, and orchestration. Desktop covers Claude as a daily companion — Cowork, connectors, and the workflows that don’t need a terminal.

MCP servers connect everything
