3.5 Session 3 wrap-up
Info
⏱ Duration: ~15 min · 🎯 Goal: consolidate what you built, solve the closing quiz and get ready for Week 4 (Design).
Today you stopped waiting on IT: you built your own tool. With Claude Desktop’s Code tab —no terminal, no installs— you turned a KPI CSV into an executive dashboard with traffic lights, reviewing each change in the diff and verifying it in the Browser pane. That’s building with governance.
Recap — what you mastered this week
| Capability | For what |
|---|---|
| The three tabs (Chat / Cowork / Code) | Knowing when to converse, delegate in the background, or build. |
| Pre-flight settings (Local, folder, model, Manual) | Starting Code with full control over your files. |
| Diff + Accept/Reject | Reviewing and approving each change before it touches your folder. |
| Browser pane + auto-verification | Seeing the result and letting Claude check its own work. |
| Plan first (Plan mode / planning before acting) | Letting Claude propose a plan before touching your files. |
CLAUDE.md + clean sessions | Pinning project rules and protecting each session’s memory. |
| The 5 permission modes | Moving from Manual to Accept edits/Plan at your own pace. |
For next week
Tip
Bridge task (≤15 min): bring a visual idea. Week 4 is Claude Design: from prompt to prototype. Think of a committee-level visual deliverable you’d like to prototype —an “Elektra Rewards 2.0” landing page, a deck, a one-pager— and bring the idea (and any visual references) to the session.
What’s next: from code to design
This week you built a functional tool. In Week 4 you level up on presentation with Claude Design: you describe what you want and get a polished prototype, committee-ready —and you’ll be able to hand off to Claude Code to build what you designed. The circle closes.
Warning
Permanent guardrail: no PII, NDA data, or commercially sensitive information. Only fictitious workshop material.
✅ Checkpoint
You have your working HTML dashboard, open in the Browser pane, with changes accepted via diff. You can explain the three tabs and name the 5 Code permission modes.
