+          <p>Get one at <a href="https://platform.claude.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform.claude.com</a></p>
+
+          <h2>Getting Started</h2>
+          <ol>
+            <li><strong>Add a project</strong> — Select a codebase folder</li>
+            <li><strong>Create a session</strong> — Start a new task</li>
+            <li><strong>Describe your work</strong> — Tell Claude what you want to build</li>
+          </ol>
+
+          <h2>Workflow</h2>
+          <p><strong>Research:</strong> Claude analyzes your codebase and writes findings to <code>research.md</code>. Add notes like <code>// REVIEW: check this</code> — click <strong>Review</strong> when done.</p>
+          <p><strong>Plan:</strong> Claude drafts an implementation plan in <code>plan.md</code> with code snippets and a TODO list. Iterate the same way.</p>
+          <p><strong>Implement:</strong> Claude executes the plan, marking tasks complete as it goes.</p>
+
+          <p className="onboarding-tip">Iterate on research and plan docs as long as you want. Click <strong>Submit</strong> when happy to move to the next phase.</p>
