The first-website skill: describe a site, watch it get built

You describe a website in normal words and the first-website skill builds it. No code, no accounts, nothing to sign up for. One file lands on your computer, you open it in a browser, and it looks like something you'd send to a person.

Here's the part that kills most first attempts. You ask for a website for your dog walking business, you get a generic template with a stock photo of a handshake, and nothing about it feels like yours. So you close the tab. This skill refuses to build from one vague line. It pulls your idea into four specifics first: who lands on the page, the one action you want them to take, three words for how it should feel, and what must and must not be on it.

It's one of the 55 free skills in our public repo, and it's the one we point people at on night one. It runs the loop with you. You look, you say what bugs you, it changes that one thing, you look again.

A skill is a folder with instructions inside it. Claude Code reads that folder when you type the matching slash command. Three lines in your terminal and it's yours.

Restart Claude Code, or just open a new session. That's the whole install. No API keys, no config.

Type /first-website. It won't start building yet. It asks about the site first, in plain questions, never more than three at once. Answer them roughly. Then it writes one file to your computer and opens it in your browser.

Version one will be wrong, on purpose. Reacting to something real is far easier than describing a page from nothing. So it asks you one question: what's the first thing that bugs you? You name one thing, it fixes that one thing, you look again. A good first result is a page you'd text to a friend, not a page you'd frame.

Hand it the specifics up front and you skip half the questions.

Describe the symptom, not the fix. That's the whole trick, and it's the same move on every build after this one.

Do this every couple of rounds so a bad idea can never cost you the good version.

Here's what this skill actually does and why it matters, in 60 seconds, in case you'd rather say it out loud than read it.

1. 1Hook: there's a brand new free Claude skill that takes you from I've never built a website to a real page open in your browser tonight.
2. 2Mechanism: you tell it about the site you want in plain words, and it pulls that into specifics: who lands on the page, the one thing you want them to do, and how it should feel. Then it writes the whole page and opens it in your browser, you say the first thing that bugs you, and it fixes that one thing while you watch.
3. 3Transformation: you stop being someone who's going to build a site one day. You've got a file you can open, change, and send, and you learned the loop that builds everything after it.
4. 4Close: that page costs you nothing, and neither do the other 54 skills in the repo. What you build after your first one is the part we run inside Claude Code Club. $9 a month, link's below.

Tonight: run it once and stop at a page you'd send to one person. Perfect isn't coming tonight, and it doesn't need to.
