This is an important piece. The "Claude Code is actually a general-purpose agent" framing is something I've been building on for weeks. My agent Wiz started as a coding tool but now handles email automation, job searches, social media management, content creation, web scraping, and Shopify store management. The non-coder use case is where things get genuinely transformative. When you stop thinking of Claude Code as a coding tool and start thinking of it as an execution layer that happens to be good at code, the possibilities expand dramatically. I documented 10 specific use cases I've built that go well beyond chat or coding: https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/ai-agent-use-cases-moltbot-wiz-2026
Excellent walkthru of the skills architecture. That workspace-as-context approach is underrated, most people treat each CC session like a blank slate. The CLAUDE.md hierarchy is clever but I'd add one thing: version control matters more than you'd think once context files start multiplying. Simple git tracking saves alot of headaches when you need to rollback instructions that went sideways.

Such a huge market "Claude for non coders" - you're like a public service Jonas 🤓👏
Thanks Chris, doing my bit!
This makes powerful tools feel far less intimidating for everyday work.
As someone who has final started experimenting with Claude this weekend, I've saved this as looks to be invaluable
Thanks Melanie! Feel free to reach out if you're stuck!
You might regret offering that ;)
Happy to return the favor - your LinkedIn content has helped me out a lot! :)
I rarely comment. This is clear, actionable, and useful! You convinced me to subscribe to Claude and test it.
Relly cool to get started Jonas. I would add slash commands to the guide. They have been really helpful for me.
They are! They should show up in CC as tips once you start using it.

Completely agree, I use git for a lot of my CC workspaces - especially the ones that are more code-heavy with custom MCP servers etc.
