Hey there,
Last week: I shared a 90-minute recording where Adam Sandler from the vibe marketer’s community walks through how to get started with Claude Code and best practices to follow.
This week: One test. 15 minutes. Changes how you use it forever.
Installed Claude Code? Now instead of:
“Write me a landing page.”
“Give me 10 LinkedIn posts.”
“Make me a funnel.”
Start with this 15-minute Claude Code test:
Step 1: Open Claude Code in any folder
Step 2: Type: /mcp
Step 3: If you don’t have Perplexity MCP installed, ask Claude Code: “Help me set up the Perplexity MCP.” (all you have to do is paste the perplexity API key)
Step 4: Once installed, run this prompt:
Context
We are building/ running: [TYPE OF BUSINESS / PROJECT]
Targeting: [AUDIENCE + SPECIFICS]
What makes us different: [YOUR EDGE]
Current state: [WHERE YOU ARE NOW]
Task
Use Perplexity to deeply research [YOUR SPACE].
I want you to produce a clear, structured research brief covering:
Market landscape
Key competitors / service providers today
What’s working for them (channels, messaging, offers)
Customer pain points + gaps in the market
Pricing models (if relevant)
Output
Save everything as research.md in this folder.Step 5: Watch it work.
What you should see
Claude Code will:
- Fire up Perplexity
- Run multiple deep research queries
- Synthesize the findings
- Save your research in an organized markdown file
All without you leaving the terminal.
Why this matters
Because the research is the prompt.
When Claude has real context, everything gets easier:
Your marketing copy and assets get sharper
Positioning stops sounding generic
Content ideas stop looking like everyone else’s
Same model. Same you.
Different input → different output.
“Cast a WIDE net. Gather DEEP context. Let AI work. Outputs are just way better, when you have the right context, the right skills, and the right tools, prompt engineering is less important.”
Note: If you want to build marketing assets with world class frameworks without tweaking prompts, stack MCP with 17 skills from here.
