Everything in lessons 4 to 16 is written down in the RealityDrift working folder: the strategy in a playbook, the three prompt dialects in three guides, the procedures as skills. Claude Code reads that folder and runs the procedures for you, in your terminal, with your files. The Starter Kit is that folder with the account's private data stripped out and the two free prompt files left in as worked examples.

This lesson gets Claude Code installed and signed in, explains the three kinds of file that make a folder a project it understands, opens the kit, wires the Blender connection, and then types out four real sessions so you know what to expect before you spend a token.
