Rekap modul 1

You've got the foundation. Let's tie it together.

The big picture

• Cowork is a mode in the Claude desktop app, sitting alongside Chat and Code. It's not a separate app.
• Chat gives advice; Cowork does the work. It's a working session that operates on the folders and apps you connect and hands back a real deliverable.
• Code is the third mode, for software work you'll usually skip.

The core loop

Every Cowork task follows the same rhythm:

Describe → plan → approve → run (and steer any time along the way).

You say what you want, Claude shows a plan, you approve it, it executes, and you can jump in mid-task to course-correct.

Staying in control

• Cowork only touches folders you connect: nothing else is in reach.
• Keep permission mode on "Ask before acting" while you learn.
• Permanent deletion always needs your explicit Allow.

Your checkpoint

Now do it for real. Open Cowork, connect a safe folder, and run one small task from start to finish: describe it, review the plan, approve, and let it run. Then submit what you did and how it went. That first hands-on task is where it clicks.

Next: run your first real task and submit it at the checkpoint.
