Build small business tools with Claude Code that keep working when other people use them, without writing code yourself.

A first build with Claude Code usually works once, on your computer, while you watch. It breaks when colleagues bring blank fields, odd inputs and features nobody specified, because the request was vague and nothing was checked.

This course gives you the habits that close that gap. You write a five-part spec, with Claude interviewing you for the decisions you had not made. You build one feature at a time and keep a way back after every step. You change existing tools without breaking the parts you did not touch, try to break what you built, and have a fresh Claude session review it for security before anyone relies on it. Then you put it live and decide honestly whether it sits below the ceiling a careful non-engineer can handle.

You walk away with one small tool shipped to a real user, its spec, and a build routine you can repeat for the next one.

Who it's for

Owners and solo builders: internal tools, automations and simple sites that used to need a developer.

People who built one demo with Claude Code: the habits that turn it into something your team can depend on.

Anyone burned by a build that broke: why it broke, and how to build the next one so it does not.
