Day 3: Creating Your First File

Claude Code can create files for you - just describe what you want. You don't need to know syntax or formatting. Today, you'll create a folder for this challenge and your first markdown file inside it.

Today's Tasks

  1. 1Create a folder called `cc30` in your home directory
  2. 2Ask Claude Code to create a file called `goals.md`
  3. 3The file should contain your goals for this 100-day challenge
  4. 4Open the file and verify it exists

Prompt to Use

Create a folder called cc30 in my home directory. Inside it, create a file called goals.md with a markdown document listing 3 goals I want to achieve in this 100-day challenge. Ask me what my goals are first.

Expected Outcome

A new folder with a goals.md file inside.

New Terms

Markdown.md filemkdir

Pro Tip

Markdown is just text with simple formatting. `#` makes a heading, `-` makes a bullet point. That's 80% of what you need.

Coming Tomorrow

We'll learn about CLAUDE.md - a special file that gives Claude Code context about your project.
