Nightschool AI: Build your first Claude Code project
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent: you run it inside a project directory, and it reads your codebase, proposes changes as diffs, and asks permission before making them.
What you'll have built
- Claude Code installed and running inside a real project directory
- A first code change made by asking it a question and reviewing its proposed diff
- A CLAUDE.md file set up so it understands your project's conventions going forward
What's inside
Guide
Install, first run inside a project, and making (and approving) your first real change.
Copy-paste templates

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an Anthropic API account?
Claude Code runs against the Claude API, so yes — the kit covers getting that set up as its first step.
Will it just change my code without asking?
No — it proposes changes as diffs and asks permission before applying them; the kit shows you how that review step works.
When does the kit ship?
It doesn't exist yet. We're measuring demand first — join the waitlist and we'll build the top-requested kit first.
