Code with Claude Extended SF: Heck yeah and then wait, what?

Short summary

Author attended Code with Claude Extended and realized non-technical people attending technical workshops face a critical accessibility gap—they can't parse commands or understand what's happening. The solution wasn't a web app; it was Vidi Clew, a reusable Claude prompt that explains code in plain language, assumes no prerequisites, and provides step-by-step guidance. The bigger lesson: sometimes the product isn't software—it's teaching your AI assistant to intelligently meet users where they are.

• •Non-technical attendees at technical workshops struggle with jargon and implicit knowledge gaps
• •Created Vidi Clew, a reusable Claude prompt template that explains code in plain language with step-by-step guidance
• •Demonstrates lean product thinking: chose a simple prompt over building a new tool
