Session One.

Foundation laid. PMGS is now a proper Claude Code project with business context captured, agency workflow primed, and a clear path to competitor analysis by Session 02.

I.

The TL;DR.

What actually happened

After-action report

We got the operating system installed. Context was the whole point, and we captured it live.

Walked Gayan through CMUX as the terminal wrapper for Claude Code (folder-scoped workspaces, parallel sessions, blue-dot completion notifications). Created the PMGS folder on desktop, opened it in CMUX, and launched Claude with --dangerously-skip-permissions.

Ran the first prompt in Plan Mode + UltraThink: hand Claude the PMGS URL and a 3-month GSC CSV, instruct it to research the business and ask whatever it needs to author a detailed business-info MD file. Claude asked clarifying questions; Gayan answered live (SEO focus, tools, ICP, competitors, team, success metric).

Superpowers plugin install failed (missing Xcode CLI). Ran xcode-select --install, parked the plugin for later. Charindu joined 17 min in from Sri Lanka, listening mostly.

Closed with the homework: finish the Q&A, run /init to write CLAUDE.md, load case studies as individual MD files, and kick off competitor analysis before Session 02.

II.

What we covered.

Six stations
01

Shared vault + Skool link

Nico set up a password-gated share page (password: Gayan). Every recording, summary, and to-do will land there plus the linked Drive vault.

02

CMUX as the wrapper

Installed CMUX as the organising shell around Claude Code: one workspace per project, multiple terminal tabs inside it, desktop notifications when a long run completes.

03

PMGS workspace live

Created ~/Desktop/PMGS, opened as CMUX workspace, launched Claude with --dangerously-skip-permissions so Gayan stops being interrupted for approvals.

04

Plan Mode + UltraThink

Shift-Tab to Plan Mode, typed “ultrathink” for deeper reasoning budget. First prompt: know the business, ask questions, build a detailed business-info MD file.

05

Business context Q&A

Claude asked: site change, SEO focus, tools, ICP, competitors, content workflow, repo access, 6-month goal. Gayan answered live, dropped the 3-month GSC CSV in.

06

Next steps scoped

After the Q&A: run /init, drop case studies as MD files, run competitor analysis in Plan Mode against OptWeb + Shout + Clearwater. Superpowers retry later.

V.

Snags & fixes.

Friction we hit
Blocker → resolved

Superpowers plugin install failed

Plugin marketplace add errored with xcode-select: no developer tools. Git clone needs Xcode CLI. Ran xcode-select --install mid-session; installation requested. Retry Superpowers after CLI fully lands.

Deferred

Superpowers retry

Parked to keep momentum on the main flow (business-info MD files). We’ll pick it up next session alongside the subagent orchestration demo it enables (Opus 4.7 orchestrator → Sonnet workers).

Usability

Right-click on Gayan’s Mac

Had to route through trackpad preferences for right-click. Minor, worth sorting in System Settings → Trackpad → Secondary Click so copy/paste and context menus don’t break flow.

Clarification

Anthropic plan

Confirmed Gayan is on the Claude Max subscription (not paying per-token API). Context budget is effectively unlimited for this workflow, which is why the “pack the MD file with everything” approach works.
