Acknowledgement of Country

Movember acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We recognise the continuing connection to land, waters, community and culture and the enduring knowledge systems of health, healing and care.

The Journey

The journey begins

STEP 1Setup

VS Code — and the Claude extension

01

Open VS Code

02

Click the Extensions Button

03

Search for Claude (Anthropic) and Install

Noggin

Give it a memory.

Out of the box, every session starts from nothing. Noggin is the bit that remembers — so the second conversation is better than the first.

01The problem

You explain your project, your preferences and your standards… and then you close the window and it’s gone.

02What it does

At the end of a session it banks what mattered. At the start of the next one, it hands it back.

03Getting it

Check the chat, follow the link.

What are we calling
your Noggin?

Between now and 102

You have three tasks

01Swap over

Start using Claude Code INSTEAD of Claude Desktop.

02Ask for the receipt

Before the next session, ask your Claude Code to write a bullet point list of everything you did in the first week.

03Pick a project

Decide on a simple project to tell the group about next time. You don’t have to start the project, just decide what it is!

Examples a presentation deck, a data comparison tool, a game, a learning activity, an animation, a process automation… there are NO WRONG ANSWERS.
