Spy then sell.

You should see: Claude Code is open in the spy-then-sell folder and waiting for your message.

If it’s not working: If the terminal says claude is not found or not recognized, you are almost certainly still in the window you installed from: close it, open a brand new terminal window, and run claude --version there. Still not found: run the install command from part a again, then open another new window. Windows, if the install says running scripts is disabled on this system: use a normal PowerShell, not Run as administrator, and paste it again; if it is still blocked, run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass and then paste the install command again. Every new terminal window starts outside your folder, so redo part c before part d or part e.

You should see: Claude says the virtual environment, the requirements and the Playwright browser are installed.

If it’s not working: If Claude says python3 or git is not found, install the missing one (Python 3.11 from python.org/downloads, ticking Add Python to PATH on Windows; Git from git-scm.com/downloads/win, or on Mac run xcode-select --install and click Install). Then type /exit, close the terminal window, open a new one, redo Step 0 parts c and e, and paste Prompt 1 again. Pasting it again in the same window will not work: Claude cannot see a program that was installed after it started.

You should see: You know where your dealers, your keys and your dashboard live.

If it’s not working: Names that start with a dot (.env, .github) are hidden in Finder and File Explorer. That is normal; Claude can still see them.

You should see: Claude Code shows supabase as Connected.

If it’s not working: If choosing Authenticate does not open a browser, copy the link Claude prints and paste it into your browser yourself. If supabase is in the list but still says Needs authentication, type /mcp and choose Authenticate again. If supabase is not in the list at all, Claude was started before part d of Step 0 or in a different folder: type /exit, run cd ~/spy-then-sell (Windows: cd $HOME\spy-then-sell), run the claude mcp add command from Step 0 part d, start Claude again with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions, and type /mcp.

You should see: Claude confirms the vehicles, scraper_runs and price_history tables exist.

If it’s not working: If Supabase refuses to create the project, the free plan's two active projects are already in use. Claude lists your projects; tell it which old one to pause and it carries on.

You should see: The doctor shows PASS lines, including write access confirmed, and ends with RESULT: ready to scrape.

If it’s not working: If it says CANNOT WRITE, or your key starts with sb_, you copied the wrong key. Paste Prompt 4 into Claude Code again, then copy service_role from the Legacy API keys tab and paste it in place of [paste].

You should see: Claude lists each of your dealers with a platform: DealerOn, Dealer Inspire, Dealer.com or generic.

If it’s not working: A site showing generic is not an error. Keep going; the test scrape in Step 7 shows whether it reads that site.

You should see: Claude shows up to 10 vehicles with a 17-character VIN, a year, make and model, and prices, and says nothing was written.

If it’s not working: If it finds 0 vehicles, check that the website in config/dealers.yml is your public inventory site. Tell Claude the correct address and paste Prompt 6 again.

You should see: Claude tells you how many vehicles are saved for each dealer.

If it’s not working: If one dealer fails, the others still save. Keep going with the room, and ask Claude to fix that dealer after the session.

You should see: Your dashboard opens at localhost:8000 with vehicles from your store and your competitors.

If it’s not working: If the browser says the site can't be reached, the dashboard stopped running. Paste Prompt 8 again and leave Claude Code open.

You should see: After a refresh, your change is on the dashboard.

If it’s not working: If the new chart is empty or missing, hard refresh the page (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows). Still empty: check Step 8 saved vehicles.

You should see: The Daily Inventory Scrape run finishes with a green check, and it runs on its own every morning after that.

If it’s not working: If Claude cannot create the repo, create it yourself on github.com: click New, name it, choose Private, click Create repository, and give Claude the address. Then paste Prompt 10 again. If Claude says gh is not installed or not recognized, tell it that in those words: it can push with plain git instead and walk you through adding the two secrets by hand, in your repo under Settings, then Secrets and variables, then Actions.
