Getting Started

Run /powerup inside any Claude Code session to access the interactive lesson menu. Each power-up includes animated demos that walk you through the feature step by step.

Example: Dial the model

The last power-up teaches model switching and effort control with an animated demo.

What "Dial the model" covers

This power-up demonstrates:

  • Switching between models using /model (e.g., sonnet, opus, haiku)
  • Controlling thinking depth with /effort (low, medium, high, max)
  • How deeper thinking generates multiple hypotheses before answering
  • When to use higher effort levels for complex reasoning tasks
