Syllabus
What is Claude Code?
An AI that works inside your project — not just a chatbot that talks about code.
Install & first launch
Installing Claude Code, logging in and starting a session in your project.
Your first real task
Asking about the codebase, making a change and reviewing it.
Prompts that get it right
Specific, contextual prompts with a way to check success.
Giving context: @, images & paste
Mentioning files, sharing screenshots and pasting errors.
Steering: interrupt, rewind, shell
Stopping Claude, undoing with checkpoints and running shell commands.
Plan mode
Research and design first — with zero file changes.
Explore → Plan → Code → Commit
The workflow professionals use with coding agents.
Test-driven with Claude
Tests first, so the agent has a target it can hit.
CLAUDE.md: project memory
A file Claude reads at the start of every session.
The context window
Why long sessions get worse — and /clear, /compact and /context.
Resuming sessions
Picking up where you left off, and working across folders.
Permission modes
How much Claude may do on its own.
Allow & deny rules
Pre-approve safe commands and block sensitive files.
Working safely
Git as a safety net, secrets, and reviewing what you approve.
Slash commands you will use daily
The built-in commands worth memorising.
Skills: teach Claude your playbooks
Reusable instructions Claude loads when relevant, or you call with /name.
Subagents: specialist helpers
Delegating work to agents with their own context and tools.
MCP: connect Claude to your tools
The Model Context Protocol links Claude to databases, browsers, trackers and more.
Hooks: automatic reactions
Run your own scripts at key moments — every time, guaranteed.
Plugins & the IDE
Installing bundles, and using Claude Code in VS Code and JetBrains.
Commits & pull requests
Let Claude handle Git chores — with you in control.
Parallel sessions with worktrees
Run several Claude sessions on different tasks at once.
Headless mode, CI & the Agent SDK
Use Claude Code in scripts, pipelines and your own apps.
