Create your tools folder

Every project needs a home. You’ll make one dedicated folder that holds every tool you’ll ever build — it’s also a “safe room,” because Claude Code only ever touches files inside the folder you open.

Make the folder

1. On your Desktop, create a new folder and name it my-tools (lowercase, with the hyphen, no spaces).
2. That’s it — leave it empty for now. In the build modules, each new tool gets its own sub-folder inside it.

One folder per tool

Here’s the simple habit that keeps everything tidy: every tool you build lives in its own sub-folder inside my-tools. Your proposal generator goes in my-tools/proposal-builder, your client hub in my-tools/client-hub, and so on.

It feels like a small thing now, but by the time you’ve built your third tool you’ll be glad each one is clean and separate — nothing tangled together, easy to find, easy to come back to.

Open it in Claude Code

• Desktop app: start a new session and, where it asks which folder to work in (the “project folder”), choose your my-tools folder. If you’re not sure where that setting is, just ask Claude “how do I open my project folder?” — it’ll point you to it.
• Terminal: type cd Desktop/my-tools then claude.
