Most people using Claude are leaving most of it on the table. No custom instructions. No Projects. No persistent context. This book fixes it. Covering the full setup stack - Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code - this guide walks through every layer that makes Claude usable for sustained real work: Projects and custom instructions, Connectors, web search and Research workflows, Skills and CLAUDE.md for project-scoped rules, and the Model Context Protocol. The back half applies all of it to a side project you define and ship. 13 chapters. Concrete examples. No filler.
