Four tools, one operating model. Claude is the AI partner, GitHub is version control, Vercel is deployment, Supabase is the database. Master these four and you can build almost anything.
Protocol 01 named what is gone, the CMS. This protocol names what replaces it. Four tools, one operating model. If you can describe a thing, this stack can build, ship, and host it.
This is the stack we use ourselves for every project. It is not the only stack. It is the one we have proven, can support, and can teach in 48 hours in the room.
Every Infinite Leverage project rides on the same four-tool spine. Each one has a single, clear job. If you can keep these four jobs straight in your head, you can debug any problem to the right tool in under a minute.
The whole point of this stack is that one sentence in Claude can land on your live URL in under two minutes. Here is the path it takes.
You type a prompt in Claude Code, in the project folder. Claude edits the right file. You glance at the diff, accept it. Claude commits to GitHub. GitHub fires a webhook to Vercel. Vercel builds and deploys to your domain. If the change reads or writes data, Supabase is the layer that holds it across requests. End to end, under two minutes for a small change.
Anything that takes longer is a tooling problem, not how websites work. Memorise that sentence. It is the rule that stops you from accepting friction as normal.
The single biggest skill upgrade in this protocol is knowing which tab to open when something goes wrong. Each tool has its own failure shape.
Plenty of stacks could do this. We chose these four because all four are American, audited (SOC 2 Type II across the stack), and run for the biggest companies in the world. When you build on this stack, you are on the same rails Microsoft, Adobe, OpenAI, and Nike use.
You can run a real business on free or near-free tiers. Vercel hosts your site for free. Supabase gives you a real Postgres database for free up to 500MB. GitHub is free for public repos and cheap for private. Claude is the only one with meaningful cost, and that is the one that does the most work.
Open four browser tabs. You are going to create accounts for all four tools, connect them, and watch a single git push deploy your name to a public URL. No prior coding required.
Sign up at claude.ai. Then follow the Claude Code install guide. On a Mac, it is one terminal command. You should end with `claude --version` printing a number.
Claude Code installSign up at github.com. Click the green New button. Name it il-hello-world. Public is fine. Add a README so the repo is not empty. Clone it to your machine.
GitHub Hello WorldSign up at vercel.com with your GitHub. Click Add New, then Project, then pick your il-hello-world repo. Vercel will offer to deploy. Click Deploy. It will fail because the repo is empty. That is fine, the connection is made.
Vercel quickstartIn your terminal, cd into the il-hello-world folder and run `claude`. Tell it: "Set this up as a Next.js project with a Hello World homepage that says Hello, my name is [your name]." Accept the changes it proposes. It will run npm install and create the files.
Tell Claude: "Commit everything and push to main." Claude will run the git commands. Switch to your Vercel tab and watch the build go green. Click the URL it gives you. Your name is now on the public internet.
In Claude Code: "Add a subtitle under my name that says Day 1 of Infinite Leverage. Commit and push." Watch Vercel rebuild in under a minute. Refresh your live URL. The subtitle is there.
Four accounts created and connected. A live URL with your name on it. A working instinct for which tool did what. You did not type a single line of code yourself, you described what you wanted and the stack did the rest.
You open all four tabs at once and watch a one-sentence prompt move through Claude, GitHub, Vercel, and Supabase end-to-end on your own Hello World site.
