Start on Claude. Graduate to Cursor.

This is the slower door, and it is a real door. Three prompts in a browser tab, then you come back here and ship the result. Nobody stays on this page forever.

No install Three prompts Then Cursor

Take this route if

If none of those are you, close this page and go to start-here.html.

01

Get the offer out of your head

Open Claude. Make a Project and name it after your business, so the thread does not vanish. Paste this and answer the questions honestly.

You are helping me get clear before I build a page. Ask me one question at a time, up to six questions, about what I sell and who I sell it to. Then write back four lines only:

Name:
Who I help:
Outcome they want:
Proof:

No preamble. No options. Four lines.
02

Turn it into page copy

Same thread. This one is tight on purpose. You want five lines you can paste, not an essay.

Using the four lines above, write copy for a one-page site. Return exactly this and nothing else:

Headline: under 8 words
Subhead: one sentence, under 20 words
Who this is for: one sentence
The outcome: one sentence
Next step: one sentence

Plain language. No hype words. No emoji.
03

Break your own copy

This is the step people skip. Claude is good at this, so use it here.

Read the copy you just wrote as a stranger who has never heard of me. Tell me the single weakest line and why. Then rewrite only that line. Do not rewrite the rest.

You graduate the moment

Any one of those means the writing is done and the shipping has not started. Go to step 04.

04

Hand it to Cursor

Open this folder in Cursor. Paste this prompt, then fill the five lines from Claude underneath it. Review the diff before you accept anything.

Read AGENTS.md. Put this copy into index.html. Replace the headline, the subhead, and the three lines. Change nothing else.

Headline:
Subhead:
Who this is for:
The outcome:
Next step:

Show me the diff and wait.

Then finish the loop on start-here.html. Install Git and Bun on step 02 if you skipped it, then commit on step 04, deploy on Vercel, send the URL.

What Claude cannot do for you

Not a knock on the tool. These are just outside the job.

Keep Claude for the words. Use Cursor for the files. That split is the whole point of the-stack.html.
