Documentation only; no skill or runtime changes.

The animation looks cool, but I feel a little hard to follow. I was trying to run the command one by one in step 1 to have basic setup for Claude Code. Especially, when trying to follow the second and the third commands, typing it half-way, and then it disappears, need to wait for it to show up again. Just from my perspective, maybe a code block that can be copied would be better 🤔 , just like those in step 2 and step 3.
