Lol, I meant -- I've had the ring for 5 years, so I'm looking backwards, not ahead. Haha!

Oh, bummer. Here I was hoping they had extended it again. Haha!

With the completion of:
- Task 1.6: Configure ESLint and Prettier

. . . we've completed the Project Setup stage (which is Part 1 of 11 in Claude's implementation plan).

Two more project setup tasks completed:
- Task 1.4: Set Up Project Structure
- Task 1.5: Configure Environment Variables

Relieved to see that it provided a suitable .gitignore to keep environment secrets out of GitHub.

Screenshots show two new 'pages'
- placeholder signin
- placeholder admin

Whoa. I'd already used some of my free Claude Code on the Web credits, but I see it's been topped back up to $250 as of today. Thanks, Anthropic!

Also: pausing to codify "how we work together" guidelines based on today's interactions.

Today's progress: implementing these tasks in the implementation plan Claude generated yesterday:

Task 1.1: Create Next.js Project
Task 1.2: Configure shadcn/ui
Task 1.3: Add Essential shadcn/ui Components

Screenshots show the state of the app at the end of each task (with items redacted).

Haha, yes, that's the idea -- I want it to generate instructions that will work when I ask the agent to write the code for me later! 😅

Welp, that proved to be too big a bite for Claude to chew on, so we're trying again with an explicit instruction to break up the work into subtasks.

I have no idea what I'll get at the end of this, but since I won't know unless I try it out, here goes nothing.

[ The prompt I used is from Jesse Vincent's blog post on using coding agents at blog.fsck.com/2025/10/05/h... ]

There are lots of things that are so much easier now with Claude Code, but the part I appreciate the most is how I no longer need to write documentation by hand because Claude just bangs it out for me and gives me what I need to set up the next chat session.
