You have to copy out a cookie and instruct Claude on how to get going on the website and do work and so on. So I thought of a fairly simple idea that has got me a lot of mileage. I added a Copy To Claude button to the micro-SaaS I run for my clients that creates a short-lived token and a simple prompt that describes the page. Surprisingly, something this si...")
