We built this site — The AI Director — entirely through conversation with VS Code and Claude Code. Template, content, categories, menus, modules, SEO — all done by AI working directly against the database and file system, with no Joomla admin UI required for most of it.
Built specifically for VS Code with Claude Code — the tools that can read your files, run commands, and deploy changes directly. Not just chat. Actually build.
Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux — tested on Ubuntu MATE, likely fine on most distributions.
The system that made this possible is a working briefing file: a structured document that tells any AI assistant exactly how Joomla 5 works in Docker, what SQL patterns to use, which fields have no defaults, which errors will cost you hours the first time, and the exact commands to deploy changes safely. Drop it into Claude Code at the start of any session and you're working at full speed from minute one.
Below is a taste of what's in it — the Docker setup and the master session prompt. The full briefing (14 sections, 20+ documented error fixes, copy-paste SQL patterns for articles, categories, menus, tags, and modules) is available for £19.

The difference between someone who uses AI effectively six months from now and someone who's stuck at their current level is usually one thing: a regular review practice. AI tools change. Your work changes. The prompts and workflows that worked well last month may underperform today. A weekly review catches drift before it becomes inertia.

Selling AI scripts and automation tools is a real business. The barrier to entry is low — which also means the quality bar is the only thing distinguishing your product from the dozens of similar ones. Validation before shipping is what separates products that get good reviews from products that get refund requests.

AI coding assistants are the fastest way to become a more productive developer — and the fastest way to introduce subtle bugs if you don't know how to use them. The difference between the two outcomes is almost entirely about how you interact with the tool at each stage of skill development. Here's a framework built around that progression.
