## What Jamie wrote

This is a wonderful article that goes through in detail a complicated analysis and shows how you can use Claude Code to bring AI to the task. I've used Claude Code many times but only for programming efforts and looking at source code repositories. This article shows a completely novel way to use Claude Code for a project, not programming, and how you can build extra powers into that project. Torres is keeping this simple and approachable so she doesn't extend that doing the work the way she describes also has many other versions like sharing and version control.

Anyway, if you are not a programming but curious to use Claude Code for a more complex analysis this is a great approach.
