Quick Start — Claude Code¶
What You Need¶
- Claude Code installed (
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) - Python 3.x (for the research brief export)
- PyYAML (
pip install pyyaml)
Setup (one time)¶
cd aeo-geo-researcher
claude
That's it. Claude Code uses the folder as its project context.
Running a Session¶
Start a chat. Describe your situation in plain English. The Orchestrator will ask three questions — one at a time. Answer each before it continues.
Examples: - "I run a local restaurant. We don't appear when people ask AI tools for restaurant recommendations nearby." - "I want to map which platforms are best for our content type — we're a B2B newsletter."
Generating the Research Brief¶
At the end of a session, say: "Write brief.yaml and generate the report."
The AI will:
1. Write brief.yaml with the structured session data
2. Run python generate_report.py
3. Your research brief opens in the browser automatically
Manual report generation:
If you want to regenerate the report without a new session:
python generate_report.py
The script reads the existing brief.yaml and opens report.html in your browser.
