How to let a client edit a site Claude built.

1Add Finch, and keep it to a review link

In Claude Code, in the site’s project, add the plugin and run the installer:

# needs a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher)> Add the Claude Code plugin finch@finch from the GitHub marketplace usefinch/notes (put it in my Claude Code settings if /plugin isn’t available here), then tell me how to load it and run /finch-install on this site.# or, in the terminal: /plugin marketplace add usefinch/notes
#   then /plugin install finch@finch
# open a new session in your site’s folder
> /finch-install
# sign in with Google, choose who sees Finch
✓ Finch is set up with editing on.
# deploy your site the way you usually do
# open it and click Edit, change anything, click Apply changes
# then, in a new session:
> /finch-apply
✓ Your changes are live.

When /finch-install asks who should see Finch, choose only with a review link. The site then looks exactly as it always has to everyone else, and Finch appears only for people who arrive through the link you send.

2Deploy the site

Deploy the way you usually do, so the live site carries the Finch script. Ample apps are deployed for you by the installer.

3Send your client the review link

In your sites on finchnotes.co, press Copy review link. It’s your site’s address with ?finch on the end. Send it with a short note on what to look at; something like this works well:

Tip: point clients at one or two areas per round (“the homepage and pricing”). Focused rounds get clearer suggestions, and fewer of them.

4What your client sees

A Suggest changes button on the right edge of the page. They click any part of the site and change it with simple controls: retype a heading, pick a colour, add space, move a card up. For anything bigger they write a note in plain words. Everything previews on the page as they go, only for them. When they’re done they press Send and sign in with Google once. They don’t install anything or create an account.

5Go through their suggestions

Open the site yourself. Your client’s suggestions show on the page in orange, each with their name. For each one, choose:

• Accept to include it as it is,
• Make it mine to take it and adjust it yourself first,
• Not this time to leave it out.

Add any changes of your own with Edit this page, then press Apply changes.

6Ship it with /finch-apply

In Claude Code, run:

/finch-apply

Claude makes each accepted change in your code, on a new branch, one commit per change. It checks the build, merges, deploys and reports back. The page reloads into the live version, so your client sees the result the next time they open the link.
