I'm a designer and built a 7-figure launch video agency. I’ve never had any prior experience with coding, Cursor, Claude or anything else until 2026 came in.
Everyday I was seeing some new crazy features that companies like Anthropic are releasing a new update that gets 20m+ views, and all people around the world are saying that it just killed 1,000+ startups. The FOMO reached its peak.
But nobody says where to start or how to actually use them in your workflow
Out of everything I tried over ~3 months, maybe just a few tools moved me forward. The rest I could've skipped entirely.
So I reverse-engineered my own path into a 30-day roadmap. That’s the plan from someone who hasn’t written a single line of code, but at the same time automated my full agency using it.
Here's my entire playbook:
## 1. Stealing SKILLS files
Every "AI product" you pay $30/month for is usually a basic wrapper.
Notion AI, Jasper, Copy.ai, Viktor, all of them. Under the hood they're sending prompts to the same models you have access to (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.)
The difference is that they've written really good instructions.
Those instructions are called Skills.
A SKILL.md file. Literally a text document that tells AI how to behave, what to output, what format to use, and what to avoid.
And here's where it gets fun - you can reverse-engineer them.
Find the coolest AI wrappers in your field
Sign up for free trials (most have 7-14 days)
USE them in your real workflow
Notice what makes their output better than raw ChatGPT
Then you can just ask the assistant to disclose its own SKILLS file for you
In most cases, it’ll actually share it with you
Just download it and paste it into your Claude Code to create a 1:1 agent
PS. I highly recommend using only Claude Code and forgetting about anything else. Get the Max subscription, which is a bit pricey, but the ROI is insane, trust me.
## 2. Creating SOPs right
SOP - Standard Operating Procedure
Basically, a step-by-step plan that you would give to anyone who joins your company. Imagine that your new Claude Code workspace is your VA. How would you explain the whole pipeline? (where to start, which apps to use, providing all the necessary MCPs, etc.)
If you don't know the exact SOP, then you can just use the plan mode in Claude and it'll help you to create the final roadmap.
Here's an example of an SOP I was recently creating for my Attio automation:
- I get the call booking (a new lead appears in the “Leads” tab in Attio)
- After I sent the proposal, it should automatically move to the “Proposals” tab
- When the client hasn’t responded for more than 3-4 days, you should send a reminder in Slack (you should text me directly in Slack and draft a reminder message, I’ll then tell you if we should continue with the one you created, skip it, or if I wanna provide my own version of the reminder)
- Then we should send them a reminder every week
- If the lead hasn’t responded for more than 2 weeks, we move him to the “Hold” tab
- You should analyze the whole email of mark@skale.solutions and check our conversations with the clients (usually email threads are Skale <> [Client Name]). If you see that they agreed to proceed, made a payment (on Contra or Ramp), or signed the contract, then we put them into the “Won” tab.
- If you see that they said that they went with another agency, don’t need our services right now or just declined working together - we move them to the “Lost” tab
- It needs to be updated every morning at 9 am Kazakhstan time
## 3. Build a habit of vibe coding
I literally can't stop vibecoding.
I think Naval recently said that vibecoding in 2026 can bring you more joy than video games if you know what you're building.
For me, it's equal. I recently played Counter-Strike 2 with my friends and between rounds I was typing prompts in Claude.
In a nutshell, you should always take your Mac with you and whenever you get a second, just type a prompt so Claude keeps working. While you're washing the dishes, you're thinking about the architecture, then give the prompt and continue doing your thing while it works
It's lowkey perfect for people with ADHD. You're constantly in a state of multitasking and trying to get the most out of every second. I don't think it's good for mental health in the long run tho.
## 4. Track what you can automate & create agents
The next step would be to actually identify what you can automate.
AI Agents are incredibly good at helping you to code, manage, handle the bookkeeping & financials, and so on. You should identify all the repetitive tasks you don't wanna spend a single second on.
For example, I completely automated our finances in the agency. Claude analyzes my email once per day. Whenever it sees an invoice from Contra it automatically ads the value into the finance sheet in Google Sheets.
I've built a tracking system inside of Notion that shows: how many leads we got, how much money made, what's the profit margin, how many active projects and so on. I spent maybe like 4-5 evenings with my team to fully automate all of that and now it saves us thousands of dollars a month on the project managers and hours of work
So the roadmap:
- Find what can be automated (Try to automate as much as you can, as it also teaches you a lot about your business and how to use Claude)
- Build all the infrastructure on top of Claude Code
- Deploy your autonomous agents on the web server
- Spent a couple of weeks perfecting the system
- Enjoy tens (if not hundreds) of free time that you can allocate to more important stuff
## 5. Setting up OpenClaw (optional)
OpenClaw is basically a tool that brings your usual Claude Code on a new level of abstraction.
It's basically an AI agent that runs locally on your system (rather than the web-based approach I mentioned earlier), and it's more autonomous.
You can just give it a direction, and it'll work on it until it figures it out.
For some people it's beneficial, some it won't make a difference.
I personally bought a used MacBook just to test and see how it works. In reality, it might be slightly better than Claude, but it also takes much more effort to set up for a non-tech guy.
So, I'd recommend firstly working only with Claude, but after you feel like you need a bigger autonomy, you can try out OpenClaw.
6. Read @bcherny and practice
Boris Cherny is the creator and Head of Claude Code at Anthropic.
If you're looking to become a pro at vibe coding, his tweets are a must-read.
7. Set up workflows
First of all, check out GSTACK - Garry Tan's open-source Claude Code toolkit. Three commands worth knowing:
/autoplan - you give a direction, it breaks the full task into steps and builds a plan before writing
/qa - runs automated tests on whatever you just shipped
/browse - Claude opens a browser, navigates sites, scrapes, fills forms, does research
Superpowers - forces Claude to think before it codes
By default, Claude immediately starts writing, while the superpowers approach is:
/brainstorm - clarifying questions, alternatives, design doc saved. You stop building the wrong thing
/write-plan - exact steps, exact file paths
/execute-plan - subagents per task, fresh context each, auto-reviewed before moving on
Second workflow is GSD (Get Shit Done) - Claude gets dumb when context fills up
Past 70% it forgets decisions, loses the architecture, starts hallucinating fixes
GSD pushes heavy work into isolated subagents while the main thread stays clean
Cheatsheet
Max plan = stop counting credits
MCP - connectors that let Claude access external tools and data sources directly (Notion, Slack, GitHub, your DB)
CLI - the terminal interface where Claude Code runs
Auto-accept permissions - Just turn it on, it's good and saves you hours
Plan Mode - Claude thinks and maps the full approach before doing anything. Use it on anything complex
Sonnet - Opus is just better, forget about Sonnet
Opus - the GOAT
Best combo - Just combine any workflow you found useful for your project, use plan mode for every complex logic, and always use opus max mode

# 如何在30天内掌握AI（作为非技术人员）

我是一名设计师，创办了一家收入达七位数的产品发布视频代理公司。在2026年到来之前，我从未有过任何编程、Cursor、Claude或其他相关经验。
每天我都会看到Anthropic这类公司发布一些疯狂的新功能，某次更新能获得2000万+的浏览量，全世界的人都在说它刚刚干掉了1000多家初创公司。我的FOMO（错失恐惧症）达到了顶峰。
但没有人告诉你该从哪里开始，或者如何在实际工作流程中使用它们。
在我大约3个月里尝试过的所有东西中，可能只有几个工具真正推动了我前进。其他的完全可以跳过。
于是我把自己的路径逆向工程成了一份30天路线图。这是一个从没写过一行代码的人制定的计划，但同时，我用它把自己整个代理公司的流程都自动化了。
以下是我的完整攻略：
## 1. “窃取”SKILLS文件
你每月花30美元付费的每一个“AI产品”，通常都只是一个基础的套壳。
Notion AI、Jasper、Copy.ai、Viktor——全都是。它们的底层其实是在向你本来就能使用的同样的模型（Claude、GPT、Gemini等）发送提示词。
区别在于，它们写了非常出色的指令。
这些指令被称为Skills（技能）。
一个SKILL.md文件。实际上就是一个文本文档，告诉AI该如何表现、输出什么、使用什么格式、要避免什么。
有趣的地方来了——你可以对它们进行逆向工程。
找到你所在领域最酷的AI套壳产品
注册免费试用（大多数有7-14天）
在你的真实工作流程中使用它们
观察是什么让它们的输出比原始的ChatGPT更好
然后你可以直接让助手向你公开它自己的SKILLS文件
在大多数情况下，它真的会分享给你
只需下载它并粘贴到你的Claude Code中，就能创建一个1:1的代理
PS. 我强烈建议只使用Claude Code，忘掉其他一切工具。购买Max订阅虽然有点贵，但投资回报率非常高，相信我。
## 2. 正确创建SOP
SOP - 标准操作流程（Standard Operating Procedure）
基本上就是一份分步骤的计划，你会把它交给任何加入你公司的人。想象一下，你的新Claude Code工作区就是你的虚拟助理。你会如何向它解释整个流程？（从哪里开始、使用哪些应用、提供所有必要的MCP等。）
如果你不清楚确切的SOP，你可以直接使用Claude的计划模式，它会帮你创建最终的路线图。
以下是我最近为我的Attio自动化创建的一个SOP示例：
- 我收到电话预约（Attio的"Leads"标签页中出现新线索）
- 在我发送提案后，它应该自动移动到"Proposals"标签页
- 当客户超过3-4天没有回复时，你应该在Slack中发送提醒（你应该直接在Slack上给我发消息并起草一条提醒，然后我会告诉你是继续用你创建的那条、跳过它，还是我想提供我自己的提醒版本）
- 然后我们应该每周给他们发一次提醒
- 如果线索超过2周没有回复，我们把 ta 移到"Hold"标签页
- 你应该分析mark@skale.solutions的整个邮箱，并检查我们与客户的对话（通常邮件线程是Skale <> [客户名称]）。如果你看到他们同意继续、已经付款（通过Contra或Ramp）、或签署了合同，那我们就把他们放入"Won"标签页。
- 如果你看到他们说选择了另一家代理公司、目前不需要我们的服务、或只是拒绝合作——我们就把他们移到"Lost"标签页
- 每天早上哈萨克斯坦时间9点需要更新
## 3. 养成氛围编程（vibe coding）的习惯
我简直无法停止vibecoding。
我想Naval最近说过，如果你知道自己在构建什么，2026年的vibecoding能比电子游戏带给你更多快乐。
对我来说，两者不相上下。我最近和朋友一起玩《反恐精英2》，在回合之间我还在给Claude输入提示词。
简而言之，你应该随身带着Mac，一有空闲就输入一个提示词，让Claude持续工作。当你洗碗时，你可以思考架构，然后给出提示词，在它工作的同时继续做你的事情。
这对有ADHD的人来说简直完美。你一直处于多任务状态，努力从每一秒钟中榨取最大价值。不过从长远来看，我认为这对心理健康不太好。
## 4. 追踪可以自动化的内容并创建代理
下一步是真正识别出你可以自动化的东西。
AI代理非常擅长帮助你编写代码、管理、处理记账和财务等等。你应该识别出所有你连一秒钟都不想浪费的重复性任务。
例如，我完全自动化了代理公司的财务。Claude每天分析一次我的邮箱。每当它看到来自Contra的发票时，就会自动将金额添加到Google Sheets的财务表中。
我在Notion里建立了一个追踪系统，可以显示：我们获得了多少线索、赚了多少钱、利润率是多少、有多少个活跃项目等等。我和团队花了大概4-5个晚上把这一切完全自动化，现在它每个月为我们节省了数千美元的项目经理费用和大量的工作时间
所以路线图是：
- 找出可以自动化的内容（尽可能多地进行自动化，因为这也能让你更深入地了解自己的业务以及如何使用Claude）
- 在Claude Code之上构建所有基础设施
- 将你的自主代理部署到网络服务器上
- 花几周时间完善系统
- 享受几十（如果不是几百）小时的自由时间，把它们分配给更重要的事情
## 5. 设置OpenClaw（可选）
OpenClaw基本上是一个工具，它把你常用的Claude Code带到了一个全新的抽象层次。
它基本上是一个在本地系统上运行的 AI 智能体（而不是我之前提到的基于网页的方式），而且自主性更强。
你只需给它一个方向，它就会持续工作，直到把问题搞定。
对某些人来说这很有用，对另一些人来说可能没什么区别。
我个人买了一台二手 MacBook 专门来测试它的效果。实际上，它可能比 Claude 略好一些，但对于不懂技术的人来说，配置起来要费劲得多。
所以，我建议先只用 Claude，等你觉得自己需要更大的自主性时，再试试 OpenClaw。
6. 关注 @bcherny 并多加练习
Boris Cherny 是 Anthropic 的 Claude Code 创造者兼负责人。
如果你想成为 vibe coding 高手，他的推文是必读的。
7. 建立工作流
首先，了解一下 GSTACK——Garry Tan 的开源 Claude Code 工具包。有三个命令值得了解：
/autoplan - 你给出一个方向，它会在编写代码前把整个任务拆解成步骤并制定计划
/qa - 对你刚发布的内容运行自动化测试
/browse - Claude 打开浏览器、浏览网站、抓取内容、填写表单、进行研究
Superpowers - 强制 Claude 在写代码之前先思考
默认情况下，Claude 会立即开始编写代码，而 superpowers 的方式是：
/brainstorm - 提出澄清性问题、列出备选方案、保存设计文档。避免你构建错误的东西
/write-plan - 精确的步骤、精确的文件路径
/execute-plan - 每个任务使用子智能体，每个都有全新的上下文，继续之前自动审查
第二个工作流是 GSD（Get Shit Done）——当上下文填满时，Claude 会变笨
超过 70% 后，它会忘记之前的决定、丢失架构信息、开始幻觉出错误的修复方案
GSD 把繁重的工作推给隔离的子智能体，同时保持主线程干净
速查表
Max 计划 = 不用再数着额度用了
MCP - 让 Claude 直接访问外部工具和数据源的连接器（Notion、Slack、GitHub、你的数据库）
CLI - Claude Code 运行的终端界面
自动接受权限 - 直接打开就好，很好用，能帮你省下数小时
Plan Mode（计划模式）- Claude 在做任何事情之前先思考并规划完整方案。任何复杂任务都要用它
Sonnet - Opus 就是更好，忘掉 Sonnet 吧
Opus - 山羊（GOAT，史上最强）
最佳组合 - 把你发现的任何对你项目有用的工作流结合起来，每个复杂逻辑都使用计划模式，并始终使用 opus max 模式
