What's inside
Skill(7 skills)
/ask-agentsSend a task or question to Claude Code and/or Gemini as external subagents and report back what they said. Use when the user asks to ask Claude, ask Gemini, ask both, get a second opinion, split reviewer roles, or compare external agents./doneWrap up the current session by writing a short HANDOFF.md in the project folder, so the next session can resume quickly. Use when the user says done, wrap up, close this out, or capture the session./promptTurn a rough, dictated, or ambiguous request into a clear, structured task, then carry it out. Use when a request is conversational, messy, underspecified, or high-stakes enough to deserve careful framing before work begins.

README
Claude Blattman
A professor's guide to building AI workflows — from chatbots to self-improving systems.
Website: claudeblattman.com
What This Is
A free, open-source resource for non-developers who want to build real AI workflows. Three paths:
- The Essentials — Tools and foundations. Chatbots done right, dictation, transcription, prompt engineering.
- The Toolkit — Claude Code setup, configuration, and downloadable skills. From "what is this?" to a working system.
- Build Your Own — Creating custom skills, agents, and self-improving workflows.
Who It's For
- Academics and researchers managing multiple projects
- Professionals buried in email, meetings, and coordination
- Anyone who wants to move beyond casual chatbot use
No coding background required. Everything is built with markdown and AI tools.
Quick Start
New to the desktop agent apps? Start with the Desktop Agent Starter Kit:
-
Install Claude Code, then sign in.
-
In Claude Code, add and install the starter plugin:
/plugin marketplace add chrisblattman/claudeblattman /plugin install starter-kit@claudeblattman -
After your first Claude Code handoff, optionally install the Codex starter pack:
git clone https://github.com/chrisblattman/claudeblattman.git
cd claudeblattman/codex-starter
python3 install-codex-starter.py install
Then follow Start Here: Desktop Agent Starter Kit.
The older skills/ library remains available as advanced/reference material,
but it is not the recommended first-run path.

Release Notes
The starter kit is versioned separately from the broader docs. Each public
starter-kit release should have a matching tag such as starter-kit-v0.1.0 and
a current public-manifest.json. If a plugin release needs rollback, install
from the last known-good tag and avoid changing the marketplace/plugin names.

Built by Chris Blattman. The name is a joke. The tools are real.
