Free 7-day challenge

Make AI work the way you work.

I'd never opened a terminal. Then I made 9,896 commits to GitHub. This is the starting line I wish I'd had.

01 / Context
A file that tells AI who you are.
02 / Skill
A document that teaches it how you work.
03 / Terminal
Four commands that wire it together.

What you'll build

One email.
One win.
Seven days.

Each day builds on the last. By Day 5 you'll have opened the terminal and done something real with it.

  1. 01

    A year ago I'd never opened a terminal

    A pre-sold product. A ghosting developer. The day I stopped trusting contractors I couldn't verify and started figuring it out myself.

  2. 02

    What does ChatGPT actually think of you?

    It remembers your dog's name from six months ago but not what you do for work. Your AI's picture of you is a handful of weird fragments. Here's the gap that kills every conversation.

  3. 03

    The one file that changes every AI conversation

    20 minutes. No terminal. One plain-text document Claude reads natively, so every conversation starts informed and you stop explaining yourself from scratch.

  4. 04

    I fired our Shopify agency and built my wife an AI assistant

    A skill is a document that teaches Claude to do a specific thing your way. One replaced a $6k/month agency. Another became my wife's personal assistant.

  5. 05

    Open the terminal. I'll tell you exactly what to type.

    Install Node. Five commands. Then do something real: transcribe nine years of voice memos, sort receipts for taxes, or audit six months of subscriptions. Under an hour.

  6. 06

    The things I didn't expect AI to change

    $20K of inventory stuck waiting on 200 codes I couldn't produce. One prompt: "Explain this to me in plain English." Plus what a year of tinkering actually changed outside the business.

  7. 07

    Tell me what you built

    You taught AI who you are. You built a skill. You opened the terminal. Three short questions so I know what landed, what fell flat, and what to build next.

Who's behind this

I'm Cathryn Lavery. I built BestSelf Co to $45M in DTC revenue, sold it to private equity, realized they were ruining it, bought it back, and still run it. The company used to need 15+ people. Now it runs lean on AI systems I built myself. This challenge is how I'd teach you to do the same thing.
