Claude Code for Non-Developers: 15 Real Use Cases by Job

Research these competitors: [NAMES OR WEBSITE ADDRESSES]. For each, find their main offer, their starting price if it is published, who they target, and how they describe themselves in one sentence. Save a comparison table to competitors.md with a source link next to every fact. Write "not found" instead of guessing.

The files in /exports are this month's ad reports from [PLATFORMS]. Combine them into one table by campaign with spend, clicks, leads and cost per lead, and save it as ad-report.csv. Then write a five-bullet summary in summary.md comparing it with @last-month.csv. Show the formula you used for every calculated column.

Read @article.md. From it, write one LinkedIn post, three short social captions and a newsletter paragraph, in the tone described in @voice.md. Keep every claim from the article and add no new facts or statistics. Save each piece as its own file in /drafts.

contacts.csv is an export from our CRM. Create contacts-clean.csv: merge exact duplicates, write phone numbers in the format [FORMAT], split full names into first and last name columns, and add a column flagging rows with no email. Don't delete any rows. Then tell me how many rows you merged and how many you flagged.

/notes has my notes from this week's sales calls, one file per call. For each call, draft a short follow-up email that thanks them, recaps what they told me in their own words, and proposes the next step we discussed. Save the drafts in /followups. Don't send anything, and flag any call where the next step is unclear.

Using @price-list.csv and the client request in @request.txt, prepare quote-[CLIENT].md with line items, quantities, prices, subtotal, tax at [RATE]% and total, plus our standard terms from @terms.md. Show the math for every line. List anything the client asked for that isn't on the price list under "needs pricing".

/inbox is a copy of my scanned documents and photos. Propose a folder structure and a naming pattern like YYYY-MM-DD_type_description, and show me the plan for the first 10 files before you move anything. After I approve, rename and sort everything, and save a log of every old name and new name in rename-log.csv.

@transcript.txt is me explaining how we onboard a new client. Turn it into onboarding-procedure.md: numbered steps, who does each step, which tools they use, and a checklist at the end. Keep my wording where it is specific, and list anything that sounded unclear as questions for me.

Build calculator.html, a one-file page our team can open in a browser to price [SERVICE]. Inputs: [LIST THE INPUTS]. Use the pricing rules in @pricing-rules.md and show a total that updates as you type. It must work without an internet connection or any accounts. Include three test cases from the rules and show that each gives the right total.

/invoices contains supplier invoices as PDFs. Extract the supplier, invoice number, date, net amount, tax and total from each into invoices.csv, one row per invoice. Add a column with the file name, and a "check" column that marks any invoice where net plus tax doesn't equal the total or a field was unreadable.

transactions.csv is a bank export for [PERIOD]. Add a category column using these categories: [LIST]. Put anything you are unsure about under "Review". Then write summary.md with total spend per category and the 10 largest transactions. Don't change any original amount or date.

/quotes has [NUMBER] quotes for [WHAT YOU ARE BUYING]. Build a comparison table in quotes-compared.md with unit price, total, delivery time, payment terms, warranty and exclusions. Highlight differences in what is included, not only in price, and quote the exact line from each document for every number.

Create a content calendar for [MONTH] as calendar.csv with the columns date, channel, topic, format, hook and call to action. Use the themes in @themes.md, plan [NUMBER] posts a week on [CHANNELS], and skip [DATES]. Keep each hook under 12 words.

@episode-12.txt is the transcript of my podcast episode. Write a blog article of about 1,000 words that keeps my examples and opinions, then show notes with five key points and the timestamp where each one comes up. Don't add facts that aren't in the transcript.

Build a one-page landing page for [OFFER] aimed at [AUDIENCE]: a headline, three benefits, what's included, the price, an FAQ and a sign-up button that links to [LINK]. Use only the facts in @offer.md. Ask me questions first, and plan the sections before you write any files.
