BlitzBase is the system we use to run real marketing work through Claude — articles, content repurposing, weekly client reports, Dollar-a-Day campaigns, Knowledge Panel work. It packages our documented methods (the BlitzMetrics canon), 20 ready-to-use skills, and a proven structure for building knowledge bases for yourself and your clients, so your AI works from real context instead of starting from zero every chat.
This page is the home for everything BlitzBase. Start here, branch out as you go:
→ Quick Start — the 60-second version. One paste into free Claude, no install, get a feel for the method today.
→ Basecamp Integration — live: your client threads, check-in replies, and a daily sync flowing straight into the knowledge base, set up by your agent in about five minutes.
(More branches will appear here as the system grows.)
The rest of this page is the full install and usage guide — what you’ll follow if you’ve been invited to the system.
What do you need before you start?
Three things: a Mac, a free GitHub account, and Claude (Claude Code or Claude Cowork — either works; Cowork is the friendlier one if you don’t write code). BlitzBase is private and invite-only — access comes through our team, the AI Builder Program, or a client or partner relationship. If you’re working with us, ask and we’ll send the invite. Want a feel for it first? The Quick Start runs on free Claude with zero install.
How do you install it?
Step 1 — Accept the invite. Check your email for “dylanhaugen23 invited you to BlitzBase” and accept it. That gives your GitHub account access to the private repo.
Step 2 — Get the repo onto your Mac. The easiest way: install GitHub Desktop, sign in, then go to File → Clone Repository, pick dylanhaugen23/BlitzBase, and set the local path so it lands at Documents/Claude/BlitzBase. (Already a git user? Clone it there from the terminal and skip Desktop.)
Step 3 — Run setup. Open Terminal (hit cmd+space, type “terminal”, press enter) and paste this one line:
cd ~/Documents/Claude/BlitzBase && chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.shIt asks for your name, email, and company, then wires everything so Claude loads BlitzBase automatically every session. That’s the whole install — about 10 minutes including the GitHub steps.
What should you do first?
Open Claude and say: “set up my personal knowledge base.” Give it your website and socials when it asks. It scrapes your content, builds a profile of how you actually talk, and creates your folder. This is the step that makes everything after it good instead of generic — don’t skip it.
Then add your first client the same way: “set up a new client knowledge base for [name]” with their website and socials. From that point on, Claude knows who they are, how they sound, and what the engagement is — without you re-explaining anything.
How do you use it day to day?
You just ask for work in plain language. No special wording, no prompt engineering:
“Turn this LinkedIn post into an article for [client]’s site.” “Repurpose this video into posts for every platform.” “Write the weekly report for [client].” “Audit [client]’s website.” “Set up a $1/day campaign for this post.”
BlitzBase routes your request to the right documented method automatically. For articles that means an SEO-optimized title, meta description, correct author and category, and internal links that add real value — enforced by the system, not by you remembering rules. It’s the same Content Factory process behind our client services and the same approach we teach in the AI Builder Program.
One habit matters: when a work session ends, say “wrap up.” The agent logs what shipped and what it learned into the knowledge base, so next session starts smarter. That compounding is the whole point of the system.
What if you get stuck?
Ask BlitzBase itself — literally type “what can you do?” or “how do I use this?” and it explains itself. If you hit a wall during install, tell us exactly where — every stumble makes the setup better for the next person.
