Module 3 Exercises — Build a link-in-bio page, debug practice
You're past chat now — this is about driving the machine. The quick skill checks confirm the commands stuck; the real-work challenges are where you actually start building with Claude Code.
Quick skill checks
One right answer each — paste Claude's output and grade yourself instantly.
Install Claude Code
What's the npm command that installs Claude Code globally on your machine? Type the full command.
Start a session
You've navigated into your project folder in the terminal. What single word do you type to start Claude Code?
Where am I?
You're lost in the terminal and need to know which folder you're currently in. Which command prints your current location?
Take it to your real work
No single right answer — this is where the value is. Use your own material.
Build a real tool in your first session
Make a project folder, run claude, and ask it to build a single self-contained tool — for example: "Build a one-page tip-calculator.html I can open in my browser: a bill amount, a tip % selector, and the total per person." Open the file in your browser, then ask for two refinements.
Win: The page works in your browser, and you improved it with follow-up requests — without writing a line of code yourself.
Have Claude explain your own machine
Point Claude Code at a folder you already have (Documents, a project, anything) and ask: "What's in this folder? Explain what each file and subfolder is for, in plain English." Then ask one follow-up about anything it surfaced.
Win: Claude gave you an accurate map of a folder you hadn't fully understood, and answered a follow-up about it.
