Claude Code in VS Code: The Best AI Collaboration Workspace | College Financial Planning Demo

Описание: My oldest daughter had acceptance letters from six schools — annual tuition from $27K to $80K. I built Compass, a college financial planning agent on Claude Code inside VS Code, and produced three advisor-ready artifacts in one afternoon. This video shows you the full workflow.

A code editor has become the best AI collaboration workspace I've found — for projects that have nothing to do with code. The agent gets file system, shell, and browser automation. I get visibility, version control, and direct editing. Both of us, same workspace, same time.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE:
→ VS Code as a shared workspace — file explorer, CLAUDE.md agent config, and Claude Code side by side
→ The agent reading 529 plans, FAFSA results, scholarships, and financials in parallel
→ A 12-section analysis document generated and reviewed in the same workspace
→ @browser automating Google Sheets — no OAuth, no API keys, just my existing browser session
→ Seven formatted spreadsheet tabs ready to share with my wife and our financial advisor
→ A 2-page decision guide written for my daughter

One afternoon. Three artifacts. Three audiences.
