Honestly I kept forgetting the folder structure, the hook events, where mcp.json goes Finally someone laid it all out on one page Saved it, printed it, done If you're building with Claude Code and don't have this pinned somewhere you're making it harder than it needs to be :)

Hope everyone’s having a productive day 👊 What’s one thing you’re working on right now?

I've started working my way through the 7-Day Challenge in the Classroom - Just got a first draft of a landing page re-design done which is amazing! I had what seemed like every issue in the "book" come up... I didn't have Git installed, then didn't have node installed, then there were some issues with VS Code and Claude working together nicely... but I'm learning that the way to be successful is to keep bashing my head against every challenge until the challenge gives way! QUESTION: There's a step for Day 1 that says: Meet the Builders Community Introduce yourself in the community thread. Share what you're hoping to build, your experience level, and what brought you here. You'll see other builders doing the same — these are the people you'll be sharing your work with over the next 7 days. Is the Meet the Builders Community a separate thing in this group? Or, does that just mean to post to the General Discussion?

Anthropic just released the advisor strategy, and it's a big deal for anyone building with Claude. Instead of running every task through Opus, you can pair it as an advisor with a cheaper model like Sonnet or Haiku doing the actual work. In this video I built a dashboard to test how it performs across easy, medium, and hard prompts, and I also show you how to use the same idea inside Claude Code with opus plan mode to stretch your session limit further.

Hey everyone! 👋 Quick question that's been confusing me — and I'm sure I'm not the only one... When do you actually have to PAY for an API — and when don't you? 💸 Here's what got me confused: LLM APIs like Claude or OpenAI are paid, but something like the Telegram API is completely free. Why?! After digging into it, here's how I now think about it 👇 💸 You PAY when the API is doing something computationally heavy just for you — like running a massive AI model to process your text. That's why LLMs charge per token. ✅ You DON'T pay when you're just plugging into an existing platform's infrastructure — like Telegram, Google Calendar or Notion. They already run those servers for their users. You're just hooking in. 🧠 The rule I use now: is this API doing something expensive specifically for my request — or just giving me access to something that already exists? --- ⚡ To make it concrete, here are some real automations I'm thinking about building for small businesses and professionals: 🏛️ Law firm — AI agent that reads client emails, spots the legal issue, drafts a first reply. → Paid: Claude API | Free: Gmail + Google Calendar 📊 Accountant — bot that receives invoices on WhatsApp, reads the data, logs it into a spreadsheet automatically. → Paid: vision/OCR model | Free: WhatsApp Business + Google Sheets 🏠 Real estate — 24/7 Telegram agent answering buyer questions and booking viewings. → Paid: Claude or OpenAI | Free: Telegram + Calendly 🛒 E-commerce — automated support handling returns and order status with zero human involvement. → Paid: LLM API | Free: Shopify + Gmail webhooks 🎯 Marketing agency — agent that turns a client brief into copy, social posts and email sequences. → Paid: Claude API | Free: Notion + Google Docs --- 📊 For context — LLM API costs for these automations usually land between €5–30/month per client. Totally manageable once you factor it into your pricing. Would love to hear from people with more experience 🙏 — How do you handle API costs with clients? Absorb them or pass them on?
