Free, and readable right now — no account needed. Walk through it in a guided terminal that runs in your tab.
A prompt is just a sentence you send to Claude. The shell doesn't care about grammar, but specificity is the lever, vague prompts return vague edits, and concrete prompts return concrete diffs you can read.
Try the command on the right. Then change the file path and run it again. That's the whole job, and the next 33 lessons are variations on that loop.
All three are hands-on, all three assume zero experience, and one Pro membership unlocks every one.
FirstPrompt is in early access. These are notes from the people testing it, shared by role instead of made-up names, while the first public cohort gets going.
I'd avoided the terminal for years. Every tutorial just assumed I already knew the basics. Here I ran my first real command in about a minute, right in the browser. No install, no panic.

Day-one beginner
Honestly the daily streak is what got me. Half an hour after dinner, and by week three I had a landing page I was actually proud to send people.

Never opened a shell before
The code review on every submission felt like sitting next to someone really patient. It caught stuff a video course would never have bothered to tell me.
