You need
  • A git repository with changes
  1. Finish your changes on a branch.
  2. Run the review command below.
  3. Add --fix to apply the findings automatically.

  • A paid Claude plan
  • Your repository connected to GitHub
  1. Open Claude Code in your project.
  2. Describe the schedule and the job with the command below.
  3. Answer Claude's follow-up questions. The routine is saved to your account.

Tip: Pick a few minutes past the hour (2:07, not 2:00): on-the-hour runs can start late. Manage them at claude.ai/code/routines.

#4

One command, a new skill

Skills teach Claude a new craft (video, PDFs, design systems) with instructions it loads only when needed.

You need
  • Node.js for the npx command
  1. Install a skill with one command.
  2. Restart Claude Code.
  3. Ask for something that uses the skill.
Command

10 Claudes at the same time

Claude splits big jobs across parallel agents. /batch fans one change out to 5–30 agents, each in its own copy of the repo.

You need
  • A git repository
  1. Describe the big change.
  2. Let Claude plan the split.
  3. Review the results each agent sends back.
Command
/batch migrate every component in src/components from class components to hooks
Prompt

Use parallel subagents: one for the frontend, one for the API, one for tests and one for docs. Report back when all of them are done.

Tip: Running many agents at once uses more of your plan's usage. Start with 3–4.

#2

One sentence, a live app

Claude writes the app, runs it, fixes what breaks and runs the deploy command so you get a real link.

You need
  • A free Vercel account (or any host you like)
  1. Start Claude Code in an empty folder.
  2. Send the prompt below.
  3. Log in to Vercel when it asks. Claude returns the live URL.
Prompt

Build a habit tracker web app with daily check-ins, streaks and a clean mobile layout. Run it locally, fix any errors, then deploy it to Vercel and give me the live URL.

Tip: Ask for one feature at a time after the first deploy. Small steps keep the app working.

You need
  • The Remotion skill (see #4)
  1. Install the Remotion skill.
  2. Describe the video: length, format, scenes, beat.
  3. Ask Claude to render stills and check them before the final render.
