Right now it lives in a browser tab and hands you answers. Claude Code lets that same subscription work on the real files on your own rig, and do the thing instead of describing it.
It can be powerful, but it is intimidating to set up. Agent Kickstart does that part for you in about ten minutes, through a custom built install wizard.
On sale for $59 for the next 25 buyers, regular price $79. Works with the Claude Pro or Max subscription you already have. Mac and Windows, one payment, and a 14‑day refund, no questions asked.
Every line of it. The layout, the drawings, the little paper guy, this note you are reading. I said what I wanted and became the manager of the work.
You are not buying a course.
You are buying
the configuration.
The tools, the safety settings, the memory, and nine skills, already connected to each other, so you skip the six months of working out which pieces you need and how they fit together.
Every instruction assumes you have never opened a terminal, you could do this with zero coding experience. That is not a disclaimer, it is the entire reason this exists.
On a Mac, Agent Kickstart for Mac.dmg. On Windows, Agent Kickstart for Windows.zip. Take the one for your rig; both are on your receipt the moment you pay.
The wizard checks what your rig has, backs up anything it would touch, and installs the rest. You click Continue a few times.
On Windows, right-click the download, choose Extract All, then double-click Start Agent Kickstart inside.
Type claude, press Return, then type /onboard. It interviews you for five minutes and writes its own memory.
Then you are not stuck. Email me and I will send you the same product as a plain zip with both installers inside, and the walkthrough covers running it by hand, step by step, assuming you have never opened a terminal. That path is written out whether you need it or not.
This is what the wizard shows under Show details while it runs. You are not expected to understand any of it. It is here so you can see nothing is hidden, and so you know what normal looks like.
Checking what you have ✓ Claude Code ✓ node v22.23.1 ✓ git Backing up your current setup ✓ fresh install, nothing to back up Installing plugins ✓ superpowers ✓ skill-creator ✓ ponytail Installing skills ✓ /explain-first ✓ /undo ✓ /ship-it ✓ /onboard ✓ /tour ✓ /vault ✓ /self-improvement ✓ /ux-review ✓ /save ✓ impeccable ✓ defuddle Writing settings ✓ settings.json Setting up memory ✓ memory ready Done. Four steps left: 1. Open a new Terminal window. 2. Type claude and press Return. 3. The first time, Claude walks you through its own setup and login. 4. Type /onboard and press Return.
This is the only line you have to act on.
Run it twice and nothing breaks. It backs up your settings every single time, and it never overwrites memory you already wrote.
If a free tool is down it tells you, carries on, and gives you the one line to run later.
Most people meet Claude Code and re-explain their business every session, forever. That is the thing this fixes first.
A memory architecture that survives every session. Who you are, what you are building, how you like to work, and the corrections you already made once. /onboard interviews you and writes the first files on day one, so you never see the empty version.
/vault keeps the bigger picture that short notes cannot hold. Its best part is the freshness rule, which stops the vault filling up with numbers that were true once and now quietly lie.
Memory holds who you are.
The vault holds what you know.
Each one exists because something went wrong once. That is why they are worth having, and it is the only honest way to describe them.
Before anything runs on your rig, it tells you in plain English what that line does and what will change. Nothing happens that you did not understand first.
Because I used to paste in lines with no idea what they did.When something breaks, it works out what actually changed before touching anything, tells you what can and cannot be got back, and asks before it puts things right.
Because "I broke it and I can't get it back" is where people give up.When you put something online, it then loads the real page itself to confirm your change actually appeared, before it tells you it worked.
Because I was once told it worked while the old version was still live.Asks about you, what you are working on, and how you like to be spoken to, then writes it all down as notes it keeps for good. Five minutes, once.
Because otherwise the memory sits empty and seems pointless for a week.Right after the interview, it walks you through the other eight one at a time, using your own projects as the examples, and stops the moment you have had enough.
Because a tool you cannot remember the name of is a tool you never use.Builds a proper set of notes about your work and keeps them tidy, under one strict rule: any number it writes down must carry a date, or say where the real answer lives.
Because notes quietly fill up with figures that were true last month.Quietly notes every time you correct it or a way of working clicks, then once a week offers to improve the other skills from what it saw. You approve every change.
Because I made the same corrections for months and nothing ever learned from them.Reads a screen's code against the rules designers use and tells you what a person on a phone would struggle with: buttons too small for a thumb, taps with no feedback, choices that lead to an empty screen.
Because I shipped buttons too small to tap on my app and only noticed with the phone in my hand.Run it when you finish a piece of work. It writes down what mattered, tells you what it kept, then hands you the one command that starts a fresh, fast conversation with all of it still known.
Because I kept one conversation running for days until it crawled, and clearing it lost everything.Everything else you install is at its best on day one and slowly goes stale. This goes the other way. While you work, it keeps a small private notebook of what you had to correct and what went well. Once a week it offers a tune-up: it reads its own notes and suggests improvements to your skills, in plain English, one at a time.
You say yes or no to every suggestion, nothing changes without you, and /undo takes any change back. The notebook never leaves your rig. A month in, your copy knows how you like to work in a way no fresh install ever could.
You teach it by working.
It remembers so you stop repeating yourself.
A chart went around this year sorting all 8.1 billion of us by how far we have taken AI. Most of the world has never touched it. Nearly everyone who has stops at a free chatbot. Running a coding agent, the thing this page sets up, is the pink dot in the corner.
never met AI · 5.6B (69%) AI arrives unasked · 1.2B (15%) chose a free chatbot · 1.3B (16%) pays for AI · ~20M (~0.3%) runs a coding agent · ~3M (~0.04%)
Numbers are approximate, from a May 2026 chart of most advanced AI use. Each person counted once.
That pink dot is roughly three million people. About the size of the whole internet in 1993.
You know how that graph ended.
If you pay for Claude, you are already in the yellow dots. The step from there to the pink one is not talent. It is about ten minutes of setup.
On top of the memory system and the nine skills, the installer sets up five tools other people built, two of them Anthropic's own, and connects them into the same setup so they work together rather than separately.
Each one is pulled from its real source rather than shipped as a copy, so you get the current version from the people who maintain it, and it keeps improving after you buy. They are open and free, and named here so you always know what is running on your rig.
| Tool | By | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| superpowers | Anthropic | Step-by-step ways of working: planning, building, checking |
| skill-creator | Anthropic | Lets you teach it new tricks of your own |
| ponytail | DietrichGebert | Forces the simplest solution that actually works |
| impeccable | open source | Frontend and UX design review. It designed this page |
| defuddle | open source | Reads web pages as plain text, which costs you less |
The sale price. The regular price is $79. One payment either way. No subscription, no calls, no upsell, and no second thing to buy later.
One purchase covers both. The walkthrough switches between them, so you only ever read the half that applies to you.
That is who this is for. Three steps, the wizard types the commands, and a skill whose whole job is explaining any command before it runs.
You could, and the parts are named above so you know what you are getting. It took me months of wrong turns to land on this combination. Ten minutes and $59 is the shortcut.
It backs up your settings before touching anything, asks before replacing them, and leaves memory you already wrote alone. Run it twice, nothing breaks.
Yes. Claude Code is Anthropic's, and it is separate from this. This configures it, it does not replace or resell it.
14 days, no questions, refunded through the store. No form, no call, no "let me fix it first" email.
Yes. Windows gets its own wizard alongside the Mac one, and the setup walkthrough covers both, so you only read the half that is yours. On Windows you extract one zip and double-click Start Agent Kickstart.
Leave your email and I will send you a code for 10% off. It comes as a reply from me rather than from a robot, so it is not instant. After that I only write when there is something worth sending, like the $25 intro when it is finished.
Thanks. Check your inbox.
I send each code by hand, so give it a little while. If nothing has arrived by tomorrow, email dempsey@agentkickstart.tech and I will sort it out.
Occasional emails, nothing automated, and one word from you stops them for good.
