20 Free Bonuses That Come With the Guide

Four are right here on this page. The other sixteen link to real, already-published resources — no padding, no invented content.

New, Right Here (Bonuses 1, 2, 4, 13)

1. Your First Week — Printable Checklist

Install Claude Code and sign in
Run one read-only request (ask it to explain a real file)
Pick one small, real task — describable in one sentence
Describe the goal, not the implementation
Read the proposed diff fully before approving
Run your own tests/checks afterward to confirm it's right
Repeat once more before trying anything bigger

2. 5 Ready-to-Paste Prompts

"This test is failing: [paste the error]. Find out why and fix it."

"Explain what [file name] does, in plain language. Don't change anything yet."

"This function needs a short comment explaining what it does and why. Add one."

"Add tests for [function/feature] covering the main cases and at least one edge case."

"Review this file for anything that looks unsafe or fragile, and explain what you'd double-check before shipping it."

4. Permission Model — 1-Page Cheat Sheet

Read access — low-risk, usually pre-approved. Claude Code needs to see your code to work with it.

Write & execute — editing files, running commands, installing packages. This is where the approval prompts matter most.

Destructive / hard to reverse — force-push, deleting files, production deploys. Extra scrutiny regardless of configuration.

13. "Am I Ready?" — A Real 5-Question Check

No score, no gimmick — just five honest questions.

Can I describe one small, real task in a single sentence?
Am I actually willing to read a proposed change before approving it?
Do I have 15 real minutes today to try one task?
Am I starting on something low-stakes, not production?
Do I know where to look if I get stuck? (yes, right here)
