How it works

Three steps.
That's it.

Built for the creative. The person with the idea, who was never handed a computer science degree. Here's what a real session looks like.

The manifesto

Crumb onboards you. It teaches you to actually work in the terminal the right way, the way real builders do. It shows you how to think in systems and architecture instead of duct-taping prompts together and hoping.

And it puts the power in arm's reach: prompts, pointers, and one-click buttons that auto-populate your session and wire real skills and features straight into your project.

You stop guessing. You start building.

Step 01

Describe

Tell Claude what you want. The way you'd tell a smart friend. No code, no jargon, no syntax. Crumb teaches you to think in systems and architecture instead of duct-taping prompts together and hoping.

"Build me a client intake form for my photography business" is a complete prompt. So is "I need an invoice tracker that emails me when clients are late." You don't need to specify a stack. You don't need to know what a stack is.

Built for the creative. The person with the idea, not the computer science degree.

What do you want to build?
Build me a client intake form for my photography business. It should collect name, email, shoot date, location, and any special requests. When someone submits it I want an email notification.

Step 02

Watch

Claude writes the code, runs it, catches its own mistakes. Prompts, pointers, and one-click buttons are in arm's reach. They auto-populate your session and wire real skills straight into your project. You stop guessing. You start building.

Crumb tracks the context level in real time. When it gets high, you know it's time to wrap cleanly instead of letting the AI forget what you decided this morning. That's what pulls you out of the spiral.

No more re-explaining your project for the fifth time.

Step 03

Trail

Every decision, every dead end, every rule you set gets distilled into one on-device brain. The crumb goes in the Ledger automatically. You don't press save. Crumb never forgets.

Come back tomorrow, or after a two-week trip, or after a context compaction wipes the slate. Day 40 starts knowing everything from days 1 through 39. The trail is still there. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Crumb remembers. Crumb gets it done.

Demo video

A 90-second walkthrough is coming at launch.

Static screenshots tell the story for now. Video will show a real session, not a demo environment.

The closer

Pick up your crumbs.

Build the thing.

Crumb is almost ready. Save your spot. No card. No spiral.
