Session Recap
What we covered and how to apply it this week.
The terminal is not a developer tool. It is a text interface to your operating system - the same file manager you already use, just faster and more powerful. Five commands cover 90 percent of what an AI Officer needs: `pwd` to see where you are, `ls` or `dir` to list files, `cd` to move into a folder, `mkdir` to create a folder, and running a command to launch a tool or script. Every powerful AI automation tool - Claude Code, MCP connections, automation scripts - has a terminal component in its setup. Getting comfortable here does not make you a developer. It makes you someone who can follow a setup guide, install a tool, and run a script without needing help.

Install Claude Code from the terminal. Go to the Claude Code documentation at docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code, follow the installation instructions for your operating system, and run your first command. You already know how to open the terminal. You already know how to navigate. The installation guide will give you the exact command to type. Just type it.
---
Open your terminal. Navigate to your Documents folder with `cd`. List the files with `ls` or `dir`. Create a folder called `ai-workspace` with `mkdir`. Take a screenshot and submit it to your AI Buddy in AIO Labs along with one sentence on what felt harder than expected and one on what felt easier.
Your AI Buddy is looking for: a real terminal screenshot showing the commands you ran, confirmation that the folder was created, and two honest reflection sentences.
