Set up

Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.

Download ZIP from GitHub Open the repository

The download comes from github.com/danieleugenewilliams/cc4nc itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.

Claude Code for Non-Coders

Companion code for Claude Code for Non-Coders - Daniel Williams' newsletter on using coding agents effectively without losing the judgment that makes you valuable.

This repo holds the runnable builds referenced in the published articles.

Capstones

Domain 1: Customer Support Agent

A working customer support agent that handles refunds. Demonstrates the architectural pieces covered across Lessons 1.1 through 1.7:

The stop_reason agentic loop (L1.1)
Multi-tool MCP server with five tools (L1.2 / L1.3 territory)
PostToolUse data normalization (L1.5)
PreToolUse policy enforcement (L1.4)
Multi-pass decomposition for cross-customer audits (L1.6)
Three patterns for session resumption (L1.7)

See capstones/domain1/README.md for the full walkthrough.

Domain 3: The Self-Hosted Review Gate

A code review gate that runs claude -p --bare on a machine you own, gated on severity, reporting its real cost. No GitHub Actions, no managed runner. Ties together Lessons 3.4 through 3.6:

You choose what the gate blocks on (L3.4)
The gate is a runnable pass/fail check, not "looks done" (L3.5)
An independent reviewer that does not inherit the context that wrote the code (L3.6)

See capstones/domain3/README.md for setup, the planted defect, and the stability loop.

Skills

Reusable Claude Code skills from the newsletter, ready to copy into ~/.claude/skills/:

build-review-loop: set up a builder–reviewer loop on a repo, two agent sessions working a backlog through pull requests while nobody is watching, with GitHub labels as the state machine.

See skills/README.md for install instructions.

Quickstart

If you have Claude Code installed, the fastest way to run the Domain 1 capstone is to copy prompts/run-domain1-capstone.md and paste it into Claude Code. Claude will clone the repo, install dependencies, and walk you through each demo.

For manual setup, see the capstone README.
