HOW TO USE THIS SHEET
Being stuck is normal — even for professionals. The single most useful skill
with Claude Code is knowing how to ask for help. Copy the prompt that matches
your situation, fill in the [brackets], and paste it into the chat. The more you
tell Claude about what you were doing and what you see, the faster it helps.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
THE ALL-PURPOSE "I'M STUCK" PROMPT (works for almost anything)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I'm stuck and I'm not technical, so please keep this simple. Here's the
situation:
• What I'm trying to do: [ what you wanted to happen ]
• What I did: [ the last thing you tried ]
• What happened instead: [ what you're seeing — copy any red text or error
  message exactly, or describe it ]

Please explain what's going on in plain English, tell me what to do next one
step at a time, and handle any technical parts for me.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I've lost track of where we are. Can you explain, in simple terms: what we've
done so far, where we are right now, and what my options are for what to do next?
No jargon, please.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"THERE'S AN ERROR MESSAGE"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I got an error and I don't know what it means. Here it is exactly:
[ paste the full error text — or take a screenshot and describe it ]

Please tell me in plain English what this means, whether it's serious (I suspect
it isn't!), and exactly what to do to fix it.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"MY PREVIEW (LOCALHOST) WON'T OPEN"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The private preview of my site won't open, or the link isn't working. Please
check what's wrong with the local preview, start it up for me if it's not
running, and give me a working link to open in my browser. Explain what you're
doing as you go.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"MY CHANGE DIDN'T SHOW UP"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I made a change but I don't see it. Please help me figure out why. Check whether
the change was actually saved, whether I'm looking at the right page, and whether
my preview needs to refresh. Walk me through it simply.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"PUBLISHING FAILED / MY LIVE SITE DIDN'T UPDATE"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I tried to publish my changes but something went wrong (or my live site still
looks the same). Please check what happened, explain it in plain language, fix
it, and try publishing again. Reassure me about whether my live site is okay in
the meantime.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"I WANT TO UNDO EVERYTHING SINCE ___"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I'd like to go back to how my website was [ earlier today / before we started /
at the last version I was happy with ]. Please explain my options for undoing
changes, do it safely, show me the result on the preview first, and then help me
publish the reverted version if I'm happy with it.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
"I'M NERVOUS I'LL BREAK SOMETHING"
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Before we continue, can you reassure me: is what we're about to do safe? What's
the worst that could happen, and can it be undone? Please explain how you're
keeping my website safe as we work.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
IF YOU'RE STILL STUCK AFTER ALL THIS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Re-watch the short video in the module you're on — seeing it done often helps.
2. Ask Claude the all-purpose prompt at the top of this sheet; give it as much
   detail as you can.
3. Remember: your website's live version is safe until you deliberately publish,
   and every change can be undone. You are not going to break anything.

You can do this. — Pete, Evolvv Strategies
