Delegation, Not Prompting

The system starts acting on what it sees. You steer, it executes.

The relationship changes: you stop operating Claude and start delegating to it. Claude Code, Remote Control, cloud sessions, Dispatch. Four lessons, about 40 minutes total.

Lessons in this chapter

  1. Install Claude Code — The terminal agent — and the moment your skill becomes operational. (~10 min)
  2. The Delegation Shift — From operating a tool to steering an outcome. (~5 min)
  3. Remote Control — Your phone as a window into the session running on your machine. (~10 min)
  4. Cloud Sessions and Dispatch — Work that survives your laptop closing — and the /teleport handoff. (~15 min)

Practical Takeaways

1. Pick the right home for the work. Remote Control when it needs your machine (files, local MCP, credentials); cloud sessions when it just needs to get done and survive your laptop closing.

2. Install knowledge, don't paste it. Skills in .claude/skills/ load themselves. If you're pasting the same context twice, you're doing it wrong.

3. Persist every correction on the spot. "Update the skill" / "add that to CLAUDE.md" — the distillation pipeline only works if corrections actually flow into it.

4. Measure direction-to-execution ratio. The Dispatch benchmark: 25 minutes of steering for 3+ hours of output. If you're watching Claude work, delegate bigger pieces.

5. /teleport is the handoff. Start work anywhere; pull the branch and full conversation into your terminal when it's time to finish properly.
