Subject: Claude Code is live for [Engineering / your team]

Team,

As of today you have access to Claude Code, an AI coding agent that runs in
your terminal, reads your actual codebase, and works through real tasks end
to end: debugging, refactors, tests, PRs. It is not autocomplete and it is
not a chat window. It edits files, runs your commands, and asks permission
before anything risky.

Get running in two minutes:

    curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
    cd <your-repo>
    claude

Then run /init once. Claude reads your project and writes a CLAUDE.md with
your build commands and conventions, so you stop re-explaining the basics.

Then try one of these on the repo you are already in:

  - "The test in [file] is flaky. Figure out why and fix it"
  - "Walk me through how [module] handles [X]"
  - "Look at my working diff and tell me what's risky before I push"

Where your code goes: Claude Code runs in your terminal and talks directly
to Anthropic's API, with no third-party servers in the loop. It asks before
editing files or running commands. Under our Enterprise agreement, Anthropic
does not use your code or prompts to train its models.

🚀 *Claude Code is live for [team]*

AI coding agent, runs in your terminal, reads your repo, does real work:
bugs, refactors, tests, PRs. Asks before it touches anything.

`curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash` → `cd your-repo` → `claude`

*First thing to try* → run `/init`, then: "the test in [file] is flaky,
figure out why and fix it."

🔒 Runs in your terminal, talks only to Anthropic's API. Under our
Enterprise plan your code and prompts are not used to train models.

Subject: One thing I'd like every engineer to try this week

Team,

We have turned on Claude Code for all of engineering. It is an AI agent
that works directly in your terminal, on your actual codebase, and the
early results from teams already using it are strong enough that I want
everyone on it this week.

I am asking for ten minutes:

    curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
    cd <your-repo>
    claude

Then hand it one real task: the bug you have been putting off, or "walk me
through how [module] works."

That is the whole ask. [Owner name] and team are in #claude-code for
anything you hit along the way.

Subject: You're in the Claude Code pilot

[Name / team],

You are in the first wave of Claude Code at [company]. We picked this group
because you will put it on real problems and tell us the truth about it.

The ask: use it on at least one real task this week, then drop a note in
#claude-code-pilot covering what worked, what was annoying, and what
surprised you. That feedback decides how we roll it out to everyone else.

One extra thing for pilots: on your first multi-file change, press Shift+Tab
until you see "plan". Claude will lay out exactly what it intends to do
before it touches a file. It is the fastest way to calibrate how much to
trust it.

Hey [name], your #claude-code posts are doing more for adoption than my
announcement did. A couple of people told me your [thread / screenshot]
was why they actually tried it.

Want to make that semi-official? Low lift: mostly keep posting what you
are posting, plus first crack at new features and a direct line to the
Anthropic team. I can share a short playbook if you're in.

🎯 *Tip: Match the model to the moment*

Using Opus to fix a typo burns compute. Using Haiku for a 12-file refactor
is asking for a re-do.

*Try it now:* type `/model` and pick Sonnet if you haven't already.

📖 Model configuration → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config

📁 *Tip: Stop re-explaining your repo every session*

Run `/init` once per repo. Claude reads your project structure and writes a
CLAUDE.md file with your build commands, architecture, and conventions.

*Try it now:* open your main repo, run `claude`, type `/init`.

📖 CLAUDE.md and project memory → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory

🛡️ *Tip: One keystroke between "look but don't touch" and "just do it"*

*Shift+Tab* cycles through how much Claude can do without asking.

*Try it now:* on your next refactor, hit Shift+Tab until you see "plan".

📖 Permission modes → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions

⚡ *Tip: Turn that prompt you keep retyping into a command*

A SKILL.md file in `.claude/skills/<name>/` becomes a reusable prompt.

*Try it now:* type "make me a /standup skill that summarizes what I worked
on today from git log", then run `/standup` tomorrow morning.

📖 Skills → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills

🔔 *Tip: Get pinged when your refactor finishes*

Hooks are shell commands that fire on Claude Code events.

*Try it now:* ask Claude "add a Stop hook that sends a desktop notification
when you finish".

📖 Hooks guide → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks-guide

🌿 *Tip: Hand off the whole git ceremony*

Claude handles the full git flow: commits, branches, PRs with proper summaries.

*Try it now:* after your next fix, just type "commit this with a good message
and open a PR".

📖 Creating pull requests → https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows

🔐 *Tip: The answer to "is this safe?" for the next time you're asked*

Permission-first by design. Every file edit, shell command, and external
call is gated by your approval. The CLI runs in your terminal and talks
directly to Anthropic's API.
