started a couple weeks ago, heres the stuff i wish someone told me day one

total beginner here, been using Claude for everyday questions and getting unstuck on things. couple things that clicked way too late for me: you can just talk to it normal, you dont need magic words. and if the answer is generic, give it more about your actual situation and it gets a lot better. wanted to make a spot for people who are brand new and feel dumb asking. whats the one thing that finally made it click for you
