Claude works in both. Their keys live in the safe, step 4.
Claude Code does the typing at every step. You read, it builds.
Step 1 · The brain · Claude Code
An AI That Builds Things, In A Folder For Cowork Chilliwack
Desktop app
claude.ai/download
Download it, sign in, open the Code tab. Pick a new folder called cowork.
Terminal app
Claude Code in Terminal
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Then type claude inside the folder.
Asking vs building
Chat tab vs Code tab
"Chat, you're just asking basic questions. Code, you're getting it to build stuff for you."
Check: which AI brain is picked, how much you've used, then ask one question about your own business
Step 2 · Talk instead of type · VoiceInk
Hold A Key, Say It, It Types
Your voice becomes typing
VoiceInk
Hold your shortcut key, say what you want, let go: the words appear wherever you are typing. That includes Claude Code, so from here on you can talk to Claude instead of typing every prompt. The speech is turned into text on your Mac.
PASTE THIS INTO CLAUDE CODE
Install VoiceInk on this Mac for me. It is the voice-typing app from tryvoiceink.com. First check whether it is already installed. Use the official download, or Homebrew if Homebrew is already on this Mac. When it opens, walk me through giving it microphone and accessibility permission, choosing a speech model that runs on this Mac, and setting a shortcut key I hold down to talk. Don't change any other settings on this Mac.
Copy prompt
First thing after Claude Code: every prompt after this one, you can say out loud.
Step 3 · A voice · AgentVibes
Claude Talks Back To You
Claude says what it's doing
AgentVibes
Claude says out loud what it is starting and what it finished, so you can look away from the screen and still know where things stand. Free voices that run on your Mac. Claude installs Node too, the background piece it needs. Built by Paul; Denise heard it on her first afternoon.
PASTE THIS INTO CLAUDE CODE
Install AgentVibes on this Mac, plus anything it needs, like Node. Then help me pick a voice I like.
Copy prompt
From here on, the Mac talks you through every install that follows.
Cowork Chilliwack · Night Two
Keys to Your Private Kingdom
Your passwords go somewhere safe, and your AI learns to use them without ever seeing one. Hands-on, on your own MacBook.
Monday, October 5 · 7 to 9pm · Paul Preibisch

The Workflow We Built For loopandlinks.com
PREREQUISITES
Infisical password safe set up
Laptop hardened, doors locked
AgentVibes installed, Claude talks
Docker Desktop installed
Tailscale installed
Instagram and Facebook API keys created, saved in Infisical
THE RESULT
A Claude skill that posts for her
To Instagram or Facebook, using keys it never sees
Step 4 · Docker Desktop
Sealed Shipping Containers For Your Tools
"Docker creates these shipping containers on your computer, and when it installs a program it installs it in that container. Claude's gonna worry about it for you."
Paul, to Denise, 4 October
PASTE THIS INTO CLAUDE CODE
Install Docker Desktop on this Mac for me. First check whether it is already installed and running. Find out whether this Mac has an Apple chip or an Intel chip, and use the official Docker Desktop installer that matches. Tell me before any step that needs me, like typing my Mac password or approving it the first time it opens. Skip the Docker account sign-in; I don't need one. When it is running, prove it works with a tiny test container and tell me in plain English what happened. Don't change any other settings on this Mac.
Copy prompt
Free for a business your size. Big download: do it at home, not on venue Wi-Fi.
Step 5 · Using Infisical
Your Passwords, Your Secret Storage
IF YOU PICKED INFISICAL
Install Infisical on this laptop, in this folder. Use Docker. Make sure it is installed securely and not bound to 0.0.0.0, only to localhost, in case we are ever on a public network. Remember this rule for all future Docker installs, and make it a skill. When it is running, open it in Safari.
Copy prompt
IF YOU PICKED 1PASSWORD
1Password is already on this Mac. Install the 1Password command-line tool and connect it to the app so it unlocks with Touch ID. Walk me through any setting I need to turn on. Test it by listing my vault names only. Never show a password or key in this chat: hand it straight to the program that needs it. Remember this rule and make it a skill.
Copy prompt
Handout page 9 has both prompts to copy. Infisical about 15 minutes, 1Password about 5.
Comparison
Step 5 · Using Infisical
Five Clicks To Your First Password In The Safe
| What it is | What you do | Infisical calls it |
|---|---|---|
| Your login to the safe | Let Safari suggest a password; save it in Apple Passwords | Admin account |
| Your business | Name it cowork | Organisation |
| A drawer inside it | Name it cowork, open the live side | Project, Production |
| The safe's address | Bookmark http://127.0.0.1:8080 | Localhost |
| Your first password | Add one. Tell Claude its name, never the password | Secret |
"We never want to paste that into Claude. Anything on this computer can read the chat history."
Step 6 · Security audit
Conducting A Security Audit On Your Mac
Please do a read-only security audit of this computer and tell me, in plain language, what else we need to do to secure it. Do not change anything yet. Put the biggest risk first.
Copy prompt
A thief can't read your disk
FileVault
Strangers on Wi-Fi can't knock

Remote Login off
Shipping containers open to this laptop only

A copy of everything, daily
Time Machine

Fix the top item tonight. Save the check as a skill so you can run it again anytime.
Step 7 · A team · The BMAD Method
A Team That Plans Before It Builds
Instead of one assistant guessing, specialists who ask you questions first. Free and open source.
Researcher
Asks about your problem.
Mary, the Analyst
Planner
Writes what to build, and why.
Product Manager
Blueprint maker
Decides how it fits together.
Architect
Builder
Builds it, one small piece at a time.
Developer
npx bmad-method install
Choose Claude Code when it asks. Then ask the team for help: type bmad-help.
First job for your team, homework: "Help me automate room booking requests."
The proof
Claude Uses Your Password Without Seeing It
PASTE THIS INTO CLAUDE CODE
I have a key in Infisical called <NAME>. Use it to access <SERVICE>.
Copy prompt
Swap in your key's name and the service, for example fb-page-token and my Facebook Page.

Where this goes next
Night Three: A Server. Night Four: Agents On Duty.
NIGHT THREE · MONDAY, OCTOBER 12
Your own server
- Rent a server (Hetzner) and open it with your own key (SSH)
- Lock it down, then join it to your private tunnel (Tailscale)
- Move your password safe onto it, so it stays on when the laptop is closed
- Build the booking helper: your booking system and your Google Sheet, talking
NIGHT FOUR · MONDAY, OCTOBER 19
Your agents on duty
- A scheduled agent that posts or reports while you're away
- An always-on helper you can message from your phone (Rakazo)
- Each agent gets only the keys it needs, straight from the safe
- A check-up: is the server still locked down?
Tonight builds the safe. The next two nights make it work while you sleep.
Homework, before night three
Four Small Jobs, Then Give It A Server
1
Put one more real password in the safe. Tell Claude its name. Have it check it works without showing it.
2
Ask your AI team to interview you about room booking requests.
3
Bring the room spreadsheet, and know which email and calendar Cowork Chilliwack runs on.
4
Before next class, ask Claude to run the security audit on your Mac again. Bring the list of anything it says is still not fixed.
Sept 28 · Night One

Oct 12 · Night Three: your own server, a private tunnel, a bot
